Of late, the issue with the dilapidated state of electricity in Nigeria is recurring with critical blackouts in many parts of Nigeria's commercial city of Lagos. With several billions of Naira already expended on this state of disrepair by successive governments, electric failure in Nigeria remains a factor hampering basic economic development in Nigeria. The blackout in Lagos is a typical example. EPA/Akintunde Akinleye
