It seems like the mercy period for the Minister of Power, Works and Housing is over. As the former governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola impressed Nigerians and the rest of the world with his dedication and the transformation of Eko.
So when he was handed the mantle of leadership of not one, not two, but three important ministries in the country, on November 11, 2015, Nigerians gave him some time to do his magic.
But now, the believe is that he’s had more than enough time to have done something tangible.

Electricity supply has gotten progressively worse since 2016 began and Nigerians cannot take it any longer.
Nigerians took to Twitter to express their displeasure.
Some wondered if he was even in office.
