Nigeria Has No Excuse for Inadequate Power Supply – Al-Mustapha

Ex-chief security officer to Sani Abacha, Hamza Al-Mustapha has said Nigeria doesn’t have any excuse for inadequate power supply.

Al-Mustapha said this during an interview with NAN on Sunday, noting that Nigeria is blessed with abundant resources that should reflect in its power supply.

“Up till this moment, electricity supply in Nigeria is still very very expensive compared to other countries in spite of the fact that we have all it takes to have one of the most stable and cheap power supply in the world,” Al Mustapha said.
