Electricity prices in Nigeria have
gone up today. Derision and disbelief sums up the reaction of many
people here. For decades, the country has had a chronic shortage of
electricity.
The country generates between 4,000-5,000 megawatts of power, for its population of 150 million people.
Compare that to South Africa, which generates 40,000MW of power, for a population of around 50 million people. Or the UK, which generates 83,000MW of power for a population of 62 million people.
