The present government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan has failed to deliver its promise of constant electric supply to the nation, just as previous government also did.
Some factors have been labelled as cause for this notably; the issue of targeting the entire country for constant electricity supply.
Nigeria being huge nation cannot have this belief by the government realized due to: size and poor electricity infrastructure. The belief is that when such a promise is made it would materialize immediately.
History has shown that no nation has been able to ignite any development plan immediately even those of electricity, except the planners of this venture are bent of mischief. Electricity development is from one stage to another.
American Example
The USA did not develop its electric power at a single it took over 300 years of intensive research and development that resulted in electricity production, distribution and installation. Though efforts of electricity generation began in the 18th century and continued to the 19th despite this, virgin areas exist that are yet to be served with constant power. This trend also applies to other developed nations in Europe and Asia.
Constant electricity was only realized after years of following a systematic framework such that does not exist in Nigeria. Regardless of the amount of money pumped into the sector instant electricity generation would not be possible because Nigeria has decided to adopt a different framework without thinking of how other nations achieved their own
Developing Electricity
Electricity development/generation is by accretion, a nation has to start from a certain point i.e. point of great need/industrial development use. In Nigeria 7000mega watts (MW) that the federal government promised has its concentration on the whole nation, by expert opinion way impossible.
