Roadmap to reliable on-grid electricity access.
Nigeria’s power sector faces severe liquidity challenges, hindering operations, infrastructure investment, and performance across the value chain.
This has resulted in frequent outages, poor service quality, and limited access to electricity, especially in underserved areas.
To tackle these issues, we are implementing financial reforms to deliver abundant, reliable, and affordable on-grid electricity for all.
Stabilize
Deploy approx. 5 million Smart Meters and associated advanced metering infrastructure via the Presidential Metering Initiative to end estimated billion and improve revenue assurance in the sector.
Restore
Clear the backlog of legacy debt in the power sector via the Power Sector Debt Reduction Plan , to improve the financial health of power sector companies, enabling them to make investments that ensure a reliable and abundant supply of electricity.
Safeguard
Transition to cost reflective tariffs that reflect the true cost of delivering power while leveraging technology to introduce direct subsidies to the poor and vulnerable.
Electrify
Facilitate the entry of investors with strong financial and technical capacity to drive the expansion of the distribution network and improve on grid access.
Industrialize
Improve power reliability to support industrial clusters and factories to improve job creation and economic growth.
