For Decades, Nigerian has been suffering from what is called
“Unstable power supply” and because the government has provided us with no other
option, Nigerians have chose to accept the condition and continue with their
daily lives. Meanwhile the government goes ahead in making billions from the
returns they get from the consumers of electricity who barely get value for
their money.
The federal government established NEPA decades ago and
recently changed the power supply organization to PHCN; since the establishment
of PHCN, the rate of power outage has tripled with prolonged hours of darkness.
The situation has become unbearable for the citizens and
even to foreign investors. If you are a foreigner who intend to start up an
industry, the best option is to rely on giant power generators. This is bad for
business and also gives business and the people of Nigeria
Due to the menace, 98% of Nigerians has fall back to
generators and it is very dangerous for a developing country to rely of house
hold generators for power supply. Nigerians are clamoring to stop paying PHCN
bills since they do not receive the service they deserve.
