The general power or energy situation in Nigeria is so pathetic and appalling. Hardly does any month passes without reports of the collapse of the national grid by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). The recurrent disruptions to business and telecommunications, including mobile SMS, voice, and internet services are experienced regularly all over. During electricity outages, opportunistic criminal activities could increase, transport disruptions due to traffic signals malfunctioning, temporary unavailability of essential services such as ATMs and gas stations can occur. In addition, blackouts could adversely affect security protocols, including alarm systems and electronic fences.The paper attempts to look at the causes, challenges to incessant power outages and proffer solutions in ensuring steady power supply nationwide.
