States And Electricity Generation (leadership.ng)

This means that states can now actually explore the possibility of generating, transmitting and distributing electricity without any legal bottlenecks.

What is more, states can now participate in the electricity supply business, which was previously the exclusive preserve of the federal government as administered by the regulator Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

Even with these, the countrys electricity sector, just like most other sectors, is struggling to provide reliable and affordable electricity to its citizens.

Up and until now, it was difficult to experiment this solution because power was on the exclusive legislative list.

It is from this perspective that we underscore the importance and relevance of the recent signing into law, by President Muhammadu Buhari, of a constitutional amendment that grants states the license to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity.
