Power authorities cite gas shortages, weak infrastructure, low generation and grid failures. But as consumers face rising tariffs and inconsistent supply, ordinary people continue to bear the cost. Nigeria needs lasting solutions, not more promises. Government and power-sector stakeholders should strengthen the gas-to-power supply chain, upgrade transmission infrastructure and hold utility companies accountable for service delivery.
