Everone knows our main problem has to do with power generation. . . our generation per capita is probably one of the lowest in the world.
I remember reading somewhere that South Africa with a population of about a third of Nigeria’s generates (or has plans to generate) least 10 times our current optimum capacity ! This shows we have a long way to go.. . . . . . .
The all too common stories of power generation dropping during the dry (harmattan) season due to low water levels at the hydroelectric dams or drop in gas supply to the gas operated power generation plants. Add to this the inefficient legal and regulatory framework.
This lawsuit between Lagos State government and PHCN is quite interesting
I know ultimately everything largely depends on having the proper regulatory laws, we must still begin to look at alternatives to gas and hydro, especially in a country with such abundance of sunshine.
So, solution. . . .alternative sources of energy, I was happy to read somewhere that the Lagos government is seriously thinking of this :
But the question arises, what are the other states doing?
