  Why Nigeria Is Still Struggling With Electricity Despite Having Enough Power Potential Nigeria has one of the largest populations in Africa and enormous energy resources, including natural gas, hydroelectric potential and strong solar opportunities. Yet reliable electricity remains one of the country's biggest problems. Millions of Nigerians still depend on generators, petrol and diesel to power homes and businesses. Even where electricity is available, supply can be unpredictable, leaving households and companies unsure of when power will come and how long it will remain. The problem is not simply that Nigeria has no electricity-generating capacity. The bigger problem is that the country has struggled for years to turn its available energy resources and installed power capacity into reliable electricity delivered to consumers. Recent data from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) shows the situation clearly. In August 2026, an average of about 4,758 megawatts (M...

  Abia States Residents Enjoys Steadier Electricity Supply as October Brings Relief to Homes and Businesses For many residents and business owners in parts of Abia State, October 2026 has brought something that has been difficult to take for granted for years: more consistent electricity.

Recent reports from Aba indicate that some businesses are now operating for longer hours, while dependence on diesel and petrol generators has reduced. F...

  Top 20 Richest Women in Nigeria in 2026 and How They Made Their Money Nigeria is home to some of Africa’s most successful businesswomen. From oil and gas to pharmaceuticals, real estate, banking, fashion, entertainment and media, Nigerian women have built major businesses and accumulated substantial wealth. However, there is an important point to understand before looking at any rich list. Nigeria does not have an official government or independently audited ranking of the personal wealth of its richest women. Many figures published online are estimates, and different publications can give very different numbers. For example, recent sources estimate Folorunso Alakija's fortune anywhere from around $900 million to more than $1 billion. Because many Nigerian companies are privately owned, their exact values and the personal assets and debts of their owners are difficult to establish. With that warning in mind, here are 20 Nigerian women frequently associated with the country's ...
