Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has expressed anger over Nigeria’s persistent electricity crisis, challenging the Federal Government to explain why millions of citizens continue to experience unreliable power supply.
In a video shared on her Instagram page, Henshaw confronted the Minister of Power over frequent blackouts, questioning reports that some electricity consumers had asked the government to reduce supply because items in their freezers were becoming too cold.
The actress expressed disbelief that Nigerians were still struggling with inadequate electricity in 2026, saying power sometimes comes on for only a few minutes before going off again.
“Mr Minister of Power, there’s no light. There’s hardly been light. You people will bring it, and then give minutes; it’s gone,” she said.
Henshaw demanded that the minister identify those who allegedly made the complaints about excessive electricity supply, questioning why such claims appeared inconsistent with the daily experiences of many Nigerians.
She also criticised the hardship caused by unreliable power, noting that households increasingly depend on generators and solar energy to meet their basic electricity needs.
The actress further lamented the rising cost of living and intense heat, arguing that Nigerians should not have to contend with additional difficulties arising from persistent power outages.
In the caption accompanying her video, Henshaw expressed further frustration over the situation, describing the hardship faced by citizens as unacceptable.
Her comments have added to growing public criticism of Nigeria’s electricity sector, with households and businesses continuing to demand a more reliable power supply.
