This paper examines the history of the Nigerian
electricity market; the National Electric Power Policy of 2001 and its
objectives; the Electricity Power Sector Reform Act of 2005; the measures taken
to implement the objectives of NEPP 2001; the outcomes of these measures; the
challenges impeding against the full actualisation of the objectives. It also
considers the aim, implementation and evaluation of the National Integrated
Power Project (NIPP); as well as the Nigerian government's recent decision to
build nuclear power plants in the country. The study concludes that there's the
need to do more in order to be able to actualise Nigeria's goal of 20,000
megawatts (MW) by the year 2020. To do this, the paper recommends the full
liberalisation of the power sector; the removal of state control on tariffs;
the need to exploit other sources of energy, besides gas, to fuel power plants;
as well as the need to explore cleaner sources of energy, like wind and solar,
to generate power.
