Nigeria’s former minister of power, Chinedu Nebo, had urged Nigerians to embrace renewable energy resources in the country, stating that Nigeria’s abundant resources in solar power, wind and hydro-power could provide the needed succour for its epileptic power supply.
Nebo said the effective application of energy mix with particular reference to solar and wind energy would afford more Nigerians the opportunity of having easier access to power, without going through the constraints of epileptic power supply.
”The most feasible, the most efficient, the most environmentally friendly has been given to us by God and we have ignored it. Solar has the potential. We still have more sunshine than Germany that has attained over 50 percent solar power for electrification. This is an area we must give attention to,” Nebo told BusinessDay in an exclusive interview.
Nigeria’s epileptic power supply has been a source of worry to many, as a result, the Federal Government has been talking about energy mix, which it says will avail more Nigerians numbering up to 100 million who are not connected to the national grid more access to power.
