Generation efforts over the years has still not solved the lingering power issue, maybe try something else aside Generation along.
Smart and intellegent control (both transmission and distribution) of the generated power should be the main focus moving forward
IMPROVEMENT IN THE POWER SECTOR IS FELT, NOT TOLD.
Maybe, just maybeโฆ
Nigeriaโs electricity problem is no longer simply about โmore generation.โ
Yes, there are genuine ongoing projects: OB3, AKK, ELPS expansion, transmission substations, SIEMENS UPGRADES, STATE ELECTRICITY MARKETS etc. Nobody paying attention can honestly say nothing is happening.
But we also need to stop treating โongoingโ like an achievement.
In Nigeria, some projects have been โ95% completeโ since the time of Adam.
A power project cannot be โalmost readyโ for 7โ10 years.
Every major project should have a clear completion date, public milestones and accountability if timelines fail.
A few uncomfortable truths:
1. The privatisation may need revision.
The DisCos likely need a mandatory recapitalisation exercise: something similar to what Soludoโs CBN did with banks. Electricity is too important for operators who cannot sufficiently invest in infrastructure, metering and network upgrades.
2. Regulation has to become enforcement.
NERC and state regulators cannot continue operating mainly through statements and guidelines yet when a citizens reports an issue; it dies off somewhere,somewhere without resolution. Compliance should be proactive, measurable and enforced.
3. We should judge the sector by outcomes, not announcements.
Since 2023, the messaging has largely been the same: improve electricity supply, stabilise the grid and increase delivered power.
Yet reality has been mixed.
2023: Better electricity supply was promised. Some may argue that they are currently worst off in terms of supply experience.
2024: Major focus shifted to grid stability and transmission improvements. Yet grid disturbances still happened repeatedly.
2025: Nigeria recorded generation highs close to 6,000 MW: genuine progress that deserves acknowledgment. But sustained supply still remains far below meagre 5,000 MW.
Now the official ambition is 8,000 MW by 2027.
Possible? Yes.
Achievable? Also yes.
But Nigerians have heard enough projections since NEPA era.
The hard questions remain:
What project will be completed? By when? What exact MW will it add? And how do Nigerians measure success beyond press statements?
Else, propaganda runs amok.

A Nigerian engineer once told me something I havenโt stopped thinking about.
He said, โThe day I got my offer letter from Amsterdam, my colleague reported me to HR.โ
I asked him why.
He said, โBecause I was about to earn in one month what heโd earned in three years.โ
Then he said, โAnd the worst part? I understood him.โ
