Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, disclosed this to State House Correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said whereas government had entered into a firm contract with the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading (NBET) Plc, power generation had remained around 4,000 megawatts because of the problem of gas.
However, he assured that every necessary ingredient has been obtained to resolve the problem as his ministry is working round the clock to improve the situation.
