“I have heard that I said that electricity problem will be solved in six months. I have never made the statement,” the minister said.
“Anybody who has a video of where I said this should please make it public. The point I made was when I was handing over the Lekki IPP because we had about 10 megawatts of power there,” he added.
Fashola was sworn in as a minister by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 11, 2015.
