As Nigerians, Can We Ever Witness Stable Electricity In Our Life Time? by ALAGOGO007(m): 9:13pm On Jan 09, 2020 |
For many years now, Nigeria has been facing an extreme electricity shortage. This deficiency is multi-faceted, with causes that are financial, structural, and sociopolitical, none of which are mutually exclusive. Nigeria’s power sector has high energy losses from generation to billing, a low collection rate and low access to electricity by the population. There is insufficient cash generation because of these inefficiencies and the power sector is consequently reliant on fuel subsidies and funding of capital projects by the government. At present only 10 % of rural households and 40% of the country’s total population have access to electricity. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial and mining sectors and impede the Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues and has been ongoing for decades. As of December 2013, the total installed or nameplate capacity (maximum capacity) of the power plants was 6,953 MW. Available capacity was 4,598 MW. Actual average generation was 3,800 MW. As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW. The minister for power Babatunde Fashola said that 90 million Nigerians lack electricity supply. This is an indictment of the government and a clarion call on that same government as well as other stakeholders to do something urgently about the wobbling electricity supply situation in the country. Every year, the Nigerian government invest huge amout of money in the power sector with no positive impact, something seems not right! The big question is, are we going to witness a stable power supply in our lifetime , will it ever happen? 16 Likes 1 Share

More than 100 billion dollars spent on power projects since 1960 Money that is enough to put Nigeria shoulder to shoulder with some developed countries yet, there is almost nothing to show for it. It won't be well with the generation of 55 to 85 years old... THEY MESSED UP EVERYTHING FOR US. USELESS CORRUPT LEADERS 231 Likes 11 Shares |

Ironically, the future of power supply worldwide may be as it is now in Nigeria, which is in self-sufficiency instead of national provisions. I mean individuals, communities, estates and cooperatives supplying power to their own homes outside of any national grid architecture. Perhaps if Nigerians began embracing what most do now, such as powering their own homes, but looking to modern, better and more efficient generators, technology, alternatives like solar and windmills, cooperating in the neighbourhood to buy larger generators to power all homes along their street etc, government and power companies would sit up and start trying to win back public confidence by providing the regular and constant power that they fail now in doing. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

Same Electricity that 16 BILLION DOLLARS was spent on by a former past president. It is a shame! And in saner climes many people grow up never witnessing what power failure is all their lives. They only see it on TV'S! We only pray we get there soon as a nation. Destroyed Foundation! BabaOwen:You've said it all. That is the situation we find ourselves as a nation.
