The Federal Government has reduced electricity supply and sales to the Junta-ruled Niger Republic by 42 per cent, cutting it down from 80 megawatts to 46MW.

The measure has caused the country’s electricity production to fall by 30 to 50 per cent and forced state-owned power company Nigelec to impose planned power cuts that can last several days, especially in Niamey.

This was disclosed by Niger’s Energy Minister, Haoua Amadou, in an interview with AFP after complaints by its citizens and an improved adoption of solar energy sources.

Recall that Nigeria suspended much of its electricity exports to the West African nation as part of regional sanctions against the junta that toppled civilian President Mohamed Bazoum in July 2023.


On July 26, 2023, officers of the Presidential Guard arrested Bazoum and declared him deposed. This forced the Economic Community of West African States to impose sanctions against the military personnel.

In addition to a one-week ultimatum to restore constitutional order and the suspension of financial transactions with Niger, ECOWAS decreed the freezing of “all service transactions, including energy transactions.”

Although the suspension was lifted, the power supply has remained limited. The minister explained that the neighbouring country, which previously supplied 80MW before the sanctions, has now reduced its supply to just 46MW — a figure far below what is needed to meet local demand.


“Nigeria has since resumed delivering electricity, but only providing 46 megawatts instead of the usual 80 megawatts,” Amadou said.

He added that despite efforts to strengthen local production capacity, Niamey is still subject to controlled power shutdowns. As a result, people and companies are increasingly turning to solar energy to fill the gaps.

A resident Elhadj Abdou, who lives in Niamey’s Lazaret neighbourhood, said rooftop solar s are an increasingly common sight in Niger’s capital.

''There are no more power cuts here, and there are no bills to pay; everything works on solar energy,” he said.

The s, which cost 50,000 CFA francs (about 75 euros), mostly imported from China, are regularly sold directly on the street.

Nigeria primarily generates electricity from thermal and hydroelectric sources, with natural gas being the dominant fuel for its over 29 thermal plants.

Yeye people.

The power can hardly be transmitted locally to s.

Most s can't afford it.

When they use it, end up not paying for it

you people that keep asking me when am getting married, I bring you good news..

1 Corinthians 7:27-28 FBV

[27] Are you already married? Don't try to get divorced. Are you unmarried? Don't look to get married.

[28] If you do get married, you haven't sinned. If an unmarried woman gets married, she hasn't sinned. But you will have many troubles in this current world and I would want to spare you these.

President Tinubu is a very smart man. Sometimes, you don't need to beat a child when he's crying aloud, he will keep disturbing the neighbors with his noise. You rather wait for him to sleep, wake him up then give him the appropriate punishment for his offence. When the Junta took over and the President sanctioned him, everyone was pleading with the President to reverse it which he did but after some months ed, he has cut their power again and nobody can fault him for it. I think it was last month that the junta sent people to beg Tinubu to help him with fuel crisis in his country. A head that will collect knocks, even if he travels to space, he will still collect it. That's the matter of the Niger Junta.


-Kiss the truth!

Are you sure it's to only Niger they cut power because for like 2 days and counting we haven't seen light. Maybe they cut some parts of Nigeria as well.

Imagine a man whose children starve everyday and sometimes are hospitalized due to malnutrition giving other people's children food to eat from the little that is not enough for his own family

I wonder what band they're on..

I concur

They should go and get power from the Biafrans ing them while they were planning coup.

Anybody ibos dey get bad luck.

As long as all Tinubu's strategy does not remove the military government from power and reinstate a civilian government, then all his strategies are usless, you people think it Nigeria that you will be playing stupid politics and people like you will be ing ..

Vs 28 gets me worried and pondering.

We had an agreement with Niger about them not building a dam.
They will build a dam to generate electricity, thereby reducing water flow to our dam.
Nigeria is in a fix

That stage had ed, he doesn't need to remove anyone anymore, after all, Nigerians pleaded with him to leave them alone and he obliged. But he will still continue to squeeze their balls as he pleases nonetheless.

All these bootlickers! How exactly is T**inubu smart? Someone who can’t govern his own country, economy is a total F9, security is F9, in fact, he’s failed across every sector. The only thing he excels at is corruption, looting public funds and being puppet to the West most especially .

We lack enough power supply but doing giveaway for other countries. Such stupidity.

You are correct!.......

You have made them more powerful. they will find solution that will not make them dependable to any useless african country

The only reason the Junta are suffering is because they don't have resources of their own to generate much revenue. They need s that's why bow to many leaders
