"Made in Nigeria" and the energy sector

Abstract

Nigeria’s harsh economic situation in 2016 has led major industries to look inwards to resolve supply deficits occasioned majorly by foreign exchange scarcity. In the electricity sector, however, the influx of imported electrical components leaves so much to be desired and hurts domestic companies. This article argues that potentials exist in the Nigerian electricity market, and with the right mix of research, policy and investments, Nigeria would be positioned to fulfil these potential and ensure job creation in the process.
