Nigerians Concerned Over Drop in Power Supply Nationwide Due to Challenges Faced by Generation Companies and Gas Constraints
The drop in power supply across Nigeria has been attributed to challenges faced by generation companies (Genco) and constraints in gas supply, affecting the ability of Gencos to operate at full capacity.

Despite efforts to improve generation capacity, the system remains inadequate due to underinvestment, poor regulatory oversight, and reliance on outdated infrastructure.
