The frustration engendered by poor electricity supply in the country cannot be underestimated. Barely two months ago in February, the World Bank reportedly approved $600 million to support the Federal Government in improving the electricity distribution sector.

Improving access to reliable power supply is the key to reducing poverty and unlocking economic growth in the country.
