Power outage rocked National Assembly on Monday while the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, was interacting with senators at the investigative hearing on “the need to halt the increase in the price of electricity” organised by the Senate Committee on Power.

Adelabu was summoned by the Senate to speak on the recent tariff and justify the increase.

He said, “You see what just happened. This is what we all experience. We the Senators experience it too and I am sure even the President does experience it at the Villa, just that he cannot speak out like we are.”
