The success of Nigeria's planned economic growth and development is substantially hinged on improvements within the power sector. Doubtless, power is the lifeblood of any economy and a key driver of industrialisation; unfortunately, there remains a substantial energy deficit to power Africa's largest economy. Despite having abundant (hydro, thermal, solar) resources to produce power, Nigeria's 144 kilowatt hour (kWh) per capita is one of the lowest in the world, resulting from years of underinvestment and decrepit infrastructure.
