Nigeria faces daily rural-urban migration; do you think electrification of the rural areas can curtail it?
Without a doubt, it will curtail it. Now, if you look at countries, the level of development is directly proportional to the amount of power generation that they have. People move from rural areas to urban areas in search of better life, job opportunities, better healthcare, and better education. One of the fundamental reasons why they don’t have that in the rural areas is lack of power. If we can empower people in rural areas and give them the right amount of power, it will create economic activity and migration to the urban areas will decrease.
Nigeria is still grappling with poor and inconsistent electricity supply despite billions of dollars invested in the sector. How do you think this can be addressed?
