The Federal Government of Nigeria has committed to making solar energy accessible and affordable for all citizens by next year.

This announcement was made by Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, during an interview with BBC Hausa.

Dr. Abdullahi highlighted the urgent need for the country to enhance its energy generation capacity to resolve ongoing power challenges.

Currently, Nigeria has an installed capacity of 12,000 megawatts, with only 5,000 megawatts available to consumers. He stressed that the nation needs a total of 40,000 megawatts to achieve a stable power supply comparable to developed nations.
