Power generation in Nigeria has reached 5,105 megawatts.
Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power disclosed this in Ikot Nyong, Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State, on Tuesday while on an inspection visit to the Calabar Power Generation Plant, a subsidiary of National Integrated Power Project, (NIPP) in the state.
He also announced that Nigeria was targeting the generation of 6,000 megawatts of power by the end of this year.
