Benin, Togo, Niger owe Nigeria $9.55m in electricity debt

According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's quarterly report for the fourth quarter of 2025, Benin, Togo, and Niger collectively owe Nigeria $9.55 million in unpaid electricity debts. The total invoiced amount for the period was $20.44 million, with the three countries managing to remit only $10.89 million, resulting in a remittance performance of 53.28%.

Specific payments included $1.67 million from Benin against an invoice of $2.45 million (68.16% performance), and $1.46 million from Togo against an invoice of $2.18 million (64.97% performance). Notably, Niger's Société Nigérienne d'Électricité received the highest invoice of $5.96 million but only remitted $4.09 million (68.63% performance).

The report highlights that the Odukpani CEET from Togo made no payments at all. The overall performance indicates a significant shortfall in payments from these countries for electricity supplied by Nigerian companies.
