Nigeria needs at least 20,000MW in order to provide electricity to majority of its 140 million people. Information from Nigeria indicates power supply is now at an all-time low of about 1800MW! It used to be around 2000MW last year. The drop has been attributed to inadequate supply of natural gas.
Consider Nigeria’s evergreen power problem and resourceful Nigerians like - Dr. Joseph Adelegan, a Nigerian engineer capable of generate electricity from cassava waste: Adelegan “recently won a Lighting Africa award to develop a Cassava Waste Off-Grid project”
Don’t you wonder why such expertise have not impacted the Nigerian society yet?
Something is amiss.
