President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua states: 
“Development of the country’s power and energy sector is going to be the focal point of my administration’s economic strategy in the immediate future”.

Construction work is taking place on a dozen mains – connected plants right now and potential new IPPs are queuing to join in because they know they will be able to sell profitably every single kWh they can produce. Despite this, no-one expects output to match demand for 10 years or more so the requirement for standby generators for both replacement and first off-sales will continue to grow fast. In addition Nigeria is home to many of the 250-million people that the World Bank’s Lighting Africa programme is planned to benefit through the introduction of new technologies. Many international supply companies are already expressing an interest in this. And because Nigeria is so large and its economy is so buoyant the country is seen as one of the most obvious national markets to target.

Nigeria has the will, the money and the platform to get the power sector moving.
