Electricity Supply In Nigeria by COMPAQ(m): 12:52pm On Jan 30, 2020
I came across this informative infographic and i thought to share.

For as long as I can remember since 1999, the power generation capacity of Nigeria has always hovered at circa 4000Mw. Of recent, we are hearing that generation capacity is now around 7000-8000Mw.

However, the attached graph shows the annual addition of just WIND POWER to America's power generation capacity. Granted America is the richest country in the world and their electricity is deregulated, but if America can increase just WIND capacity by 61,600Mw in 8 years, why is Nigeria in almost 20 years of democracy unable to increase it's TOTAL generation by say 5000 or 10000Mw


This just shows how unserious we are as a country! Other countries we should be closing the gap on are even increasing the gap further.
