This brought about power failure in some part of Birnin Kebbi metropolis and the current unfortunate load shedding of power in Birnin Kebbi, affecting GRA and Bayan Kara customers.

So far work is in progress, as a team of engineers arrived Birnin Kebbi on Sunday night from Kaduna at the instance of the Special Advider to Kebbi State Governor Alhaji Yusuf Haruna Rasheed.

The team assured that the problem will be ascertained and power will be restored fully soonest.

While calling on people of the affected areas to exercise more patience, the Special Adviser urged the good people of Kebbi state to continue appreciating efforts of the Sen Abubakar Atiku Bagudu-led administration in trying to provide all day power supply to residents in Kebb State.

He further called on people to continue paying their light bills promptly and always switch off electrical appliances and lights when not in use especially during the day time, this is to avoid wastages and other unforseen incidences.

Thank you.
