75 Million Nigerians Lack Access To Electricity – World Bank by osahonmk(m): 2:49pm On Feb 22, 2017 |
Nigeria is second to India on the list of countries with the highest electricity access deficit with 75 million people compared to India’s 263 million persons. According to a new World Bank report, other countries on the list of nations with highest electricity access deficit are Ethiopia with 67 million; Bangladesh 62 million; Congo Democratic Republic with 55 million; Tanzania with 40 million; Kenya with 33 million; Uganda with 30 million; Sudan with 25 million; and Myanmar with 25 million people. According to the report, an energy scorecard released on Monday, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan alone have 116 million people without adequate electricity. The authors noted that energy access, efficiency and renewables are on the rise in many developing nations, but in places like sub-Saharan Africa, the energy situation is still grim and hundreds of millions remain unconnected. The report found that 80 per cent of the 111 countries studied have policies for more sustainable energy — meaning energy efficiency, access to energy and use of renewables — with 45 countries at advanced stages of policy-making.According to the report, access is, in part, a financial issue in these countries. In many sub-Saharan Africa countries, people pay more than $500 to connect to the grid, while in another developing country, Bangladesh, the cost is as little as $22. Senior Director and Head of Energy and Extractives at the World Bank, Riccardo Puliti, said: “Africa has long been the least electrified, and power there cannot keep up with population growth. Those disparities won’t disappear without policies encouraging both private and public investment.” According to the report, for much of the world, however, renewables are growing fast: 93 per cent of countries have renewable energy targets, and more than three-quarters have supporting legislation. This growth, however, needs more focus. Just 39 per cent of countries have studied how to integrate renewables such as solar and wind power into their current electrical grids, the authors found. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sustainable Energy for All, a sustainable energy initiative launched by the United Nations in 2011, Rachel Kyte, said: “The world is in a race to secure a clean energy transition. The underlying message is that we must go further and faster.” Besides, Energy economics global lead for the World Bank Group, Vivien Foster, said: “African countries on the whole scored very poorly, with as many as 40 per cent barely beginning policy measures to accelerate access to energy. African countries on the whole scored very poorly.” http://www.energywatchng.com/75-million-nigerians-lack-access-electricity-world-bank/ |

I think the numbers is more than 75m. For the past 1 decade, I have hearing and reading that Nigeria has a population of about 180million people. I am very sure that more than 100million Nigerians do not have access to electricity. I mean NEPA, however most Nigerians use generators, lamps, torch lights from normal torch, rechargeable lamps, torchlight phones, until recently inverters, solar system though very expensive. Is quite sad that in year 2017, we are still talking about light or no light.When even NEPA run their office on generator ...We have a long way to go.Lets not deceive ourselves. After we will be shouting brain drain, why wouldn't there be brain drain, just Ghana here, there is constant light,every night Nigerians spend money on fuel, even the fuel is not cheap, couple with the fume from the generator which has killed many. Government should genuinely privatise the power sector. The power sector is a multi billion dollars sector, much bigger than the telecommunications. Not this paddy paddy privatisation that they did, let power sector experts around the globe who have over a century experience in other countries, tested , trusted and proven , come in and save us this national embarrassment. I am quite tired of all the issues . Nigerians are ready to pay for steady power supply if fixed, the humongous job opportunities, new innovations, inventions and revenues that will follow will be amazing. 4 Likes 1 Share |
