The 'Light Up Nigeria' initiative aims to extend electricity access to rural areas through renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, targeting approximately 232 local government areas by December 2014. This program supports the government's power sector reforms and seeks to attract foreign investment while promoting job creation and social development in underserved communities. By leveraging Nigeria's abundant natural resources, the initiative aims to enhance quality of life, reduce urban migration, and stimulate economic growth.

LIGHT UP NIGERIA Why Light up Rural Nigeria by means of Alternative Energy And Consider Renewable Energy As A Supplement To Power Generation In Nigeria? 1) Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms 2) In line with Global Drive for Renewable Energy/ Green Technology 3) Major Energy Companies Worldwide Are Adopting Solar or Wind Power Generation As Alternative Energy Technology 4
- 5. LIGHT UP NIGERIA Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms: Ø Though electricity is a necessity for rural dwellers, it is almost impossible to extend the grid to all rural areas of the nation. This leaves a majority of Nigerians who live in the rural areas without access to electricity Ø Providing access to electricity through alternative energy means is a technology of necessity for Nigeria Ø Fortunately, Nigeria is endowed with abundant natural resources, like the sun, wind, hydros, etc. Ø As an alternative energy, solar and wind power generation will be a practical alternative to supplementing electricity supply in Nigeria “” 5
