The Federal Government says electricity distribution companies in Nigeria will need an estimated N2 trillion or about $2.5 billion in capital to improve power supply to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Olu Verheijen, an adviser to President Bola Tinubu on energy, disclosed this during a recent interview.<\/p>\n

The government also stated that new investors need to revive the industry that can barely supply power to nearly 200 million people.<\/p>\n

The companies are over-leveraged and under-capitalized, which has limited their capacity to invest in distributing electricity to households.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to set policies that facilitate reorganization and recapitalization and bring in new partners with new capital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Bola Tinubu, in his New Year broadcast, had pledged to improve the electricity supply in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu has expressed readiness to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s electricity turnaround agenda for Nigeria this New Year and beyond.<\/p>\n
