00:00The electricity supply has been very, very poor and bad from the beginning of this year.
00:07Nigerians are shouting darkness everywhere.
00:11The power minister had to come out to apologize to all Nigerians about the epileptic power supply experienced in the
00:19country.
00:19The installed generating capacity is 13,000 megawatts, but we are generating less than 4,000, 5,000 megawatts.
00:28It was last year, 2025, that we generated over 4,000 megawatts and over 5,000 megawatts around December 2025.
00:38It didn't even last up to three or four days.
00:42Having that installed capacity, we are generating less than 5,000 for over 200 million Nigerians.
00:50This means we only cater for 20% of Nigerian needs.
00:56And these challenges are structured from gas supply to generation companies, transmission, and the liquidity challenges translating to trillions of
01:10naira in debt.
01:11This low supply has actually pushed Nigerians into self-generation, either the use of petrol, diesel, or even adoption of
01:23solar, which are more expensive than getting electricity from the grid.
01:30I'm very sure if all these are looked into, the country is going to experience a stable and reliable electricity
01:38supply.
