Nigeria has overtaken the Democratic Republic of Congo with 25 percent of people without access to electricity, making it the country globally with the highest number of citizens that lack access to power.

This was revealed by the World Bank Group officials during a virtual engagement with power reporters in Abuja on the Power Sector Recovery Programme (PSRP).

"Nigeria now has the largest number of unelectrified people globally and the trend is worsening; of the electrified, the supply is very unreliable with widespread blackouts,” said a presentation from the group.

It stated that electrification, which was growing at 1.1% yearly since 2010, has not kept pace with the population growth of 3% yearly. This has increased the deficit by 3 million people to 85m which is 57% of the population.

“Nigeria now has 25% more unelectrified people than the 2nd most unelectrified country (DRC – in absolute ).”

Over here in Oke-Aro we don't have good road network but them dey allow us enjoy light.

Buhari's regime breaking every bad record breakable...

Thumbs up APC, another milestone.

Congrats cow republic .The giant assh@le of Africa and the world

What a disgusting sh1thole. Always coming last in anything good but always comes first in anything bad!!

Breaking up this contraption is what every right thinking person should be aiming for now!

We definitely can't continue like this or else it will get to a point where we will kill each other to the last man standing.

If you still one Nigeria then you're worse than the devil. Breaking up Nigeria will make life better for all, at least killings and destruction will certainly reduce to the barest minimum.

The existence of Nigeria as a nation is a crime against humanity

"Nigeria now has the largest number of unelectrified people globally and the trend is worsening; of the electrified, the supply is very unreliable with widespread blackouts,” said a presentation from the group.

This kind of news is synonymous to this present government.

Buhari-led APC government has won another inglorious trophy for Nigeria.

Gone are the days of Barth Nnaji... Nigeria only needs right leaders.

no leader can make Nigeria any good, everything about this country is wrong

Till date most parts of Iragbiji is still without electricity 6 years after the Cocaine trafficker from there tricked us into electing an extremist

Always overtaking for all the wrong reasons....SMH
Very Clueless Present and Past Leadership we've been unfortunate to have had.
Yet some online urchins still have the nerves to them in their incompetence!!!

We need a paradigm shift come 2023 we must vote in youths with visionary capabilities!
My attached pictures says it all to all those online Nitwits that still hail the past & present APC Clueless leadership.

We Mooove.

Congratulations buhari

A country where citizens still screams "up nepaaaa" when light comes.is dat one a country..u go see ur street person along the road.instead of greeting the person.wat u will hear is "light dey area?".

Buhari is a legendary failure ..I have not seen useless man

Buhari wouldn’t take the blame only. All past Presidents and Heads of State are fully responsible for this show of shame.

Nigeria is doomed!!

Ehen... Nigeria always taking first in everything bad.

Long overdue. Nigeria is a curse to Africa. Giant my foot

Hey there, don't say what you don't know. Average person in osun state uses atleast 15 hours light per day. Osun state enjoy stable light.

In Adeshina's voice, continue to flog a dead horse, it can not hear, only eyes on the ball (destroying Nigeria)

Any ranking position that involves corruption, disorganization, undemocratic, terrorism, unstable power supply, inhumane, suffering, poverty, segregation, genocide, religion intolerance, draconian law, infrastructure decay, nepotism and bad governance. Nigeria always manage to come top. What an achievement, Naija is doomed.

My joy is that buhari/_APC have broken all negative records.
They had done 10x worst than what PDP couldn't do for good 16 years.

Its a pity...smdh a whole giant of africa

when Fashola said a responsible government can fix electricity within 6 months when GEJ was still president.

Please someone close to him should advise him to bring back power generation to 2014 levels at least.

The mother-fucka just dey break every record.

We're getting there gradually!
By the time the idiots who are power drunk ruin it all, the natural course will set it; the country will automatically break into small units; then the northern lords who keep stuffing everything in their own pockets will have nothing left to stuff in. Why?
Nigeria will be gone! There was a country.
