Nigeria’s Power Crisis: Can Tinubu’s Administration Deliver 'Renewed Hope' Before 2027?

As Nigeria reaches the halfway mark of President Tinubu’s administration, the nation faces a sobering reality: 86 million Nigerians still live without electricity—the highest energy poverty rate in the world. While the government celebrates record generation peaks of 6,003MW, the persistent collapse of the national grid and staggering N4.7 trillion debt to power generators expose deep systemic failures. This special investigation goes beyond the headlines to examine why decades of massive investments—from Obasanjo’s $16 billion to recent World Bank loans—have failed to keep the lights on. We explore whether states like Lagos and Abia can successfully implement the Electricity Act 2023 to decentralize power, or if the federal government’s proposed ban on solar imports will only worsen energy inequality. With exclusive insights from key players—including the Power Minister’s adviser Bolaji Tunji, former Lagos Energy Commissioner Olalere Odusote, and energy law experts Eyo Ekpo and George Etomi—this report confronts the urgent questions about Nigeria’s power future. From the boardrooms of Abuja to solar projects in rural communities, we uncover whether "Renewed Hope" can become reality before 2027.
