He further juxtaposed the economies of both country, explaining the reason Nigeria needs to revamp its power sector.
Nigeria’s epileptic electricity supply remains a matter of deep concern. Although South Africa, the second biggest economy on the continent has a population of over 60 million, and generates over 50,000 megawatts.“Nigeria, the African giant with over 200 million people, generates a paltry 4000 megawatts, which is less than 10% of South Africa’s without declaring a power crisis or emergency.
Nigerians should take a cue from global governance best practices; grasp what people-oriented leadership is all about and rise up for effective change.
