 Shettima: Nigeria’s Economic Growth Depends on Resolving Power Sector Crisis


Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, has stressed that the country’s economic development cannot be achieved without addressing the ongoing crisis in the power sector. He urged the nation's leaders to set aside differences, tackle energy challenges, and focus on transforming Nigeria into an industrialized nation.


Shettima made these statements during the inauguration of the National Economic Council (NEC) Ad-Hoc Committee on National Electrification and the NEC Ad-Hoc Committee on Polio Eradication at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.


He highlighted that successful post-industrial revolution countries have resolved energy shortages, pointing out that Nigeria’s economic progress is unattainable without solving its power sector issues and ensuring reliable and affordable energy for all Nigerians.


Acknowledging that 40-70 percent of Nigerians still lack formal electricity access, Shettima expressed confidence that the expertise of the committee members, including Governors, would lead to positive changes. He also noted the persistent challenges of the national grid, which has suffered from system collapses, but remained hopeful that recent reforms in the energy sector would attract both local and foreign investments, paving the way for improvements.
