He noted that reliable and affordable electricity remains essential to Nigeria’s ambition of building a $1 trillion economy, particularly in driving industrial expansion, business competitiveness, job creation and improved living standards.
According to Esiedesa, the conference will provide a platform for stakeholders to examine the connection between the country’s economic ambitions and the performance of the electricity sector.
Discussions will focus on power-sector reforms, investment opportunities, infrastructure development, financing mechanisms and sustainable strategies for improving electricity supply across the country.
