Adesina stated that Nigerians spend $14 billion yearly on generators and fuel. He also quoted a report by the International Monetary Fund which stated that Nigeria loses $29 billion annually, about 5.8 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product due to a lack of reliable power supply.

Mugu so you're supporting generator instead of talking how to get permanent light in the country 🙄. Soon all of you will dance the dance of shame. 🤨

Thief in bowtie.

That's why i can never support any govt empowerment program because there is nothing to leverage your business on. The electricity bill is high, cost of space rent is high. If you dare think of loan the interest rate and conditions will chase you away.

That's the more reason the fund spent on NEPA is a waste why you funding NEPA again

It’s called d Ease of doing Business. Generators r so ubiquitous such that d President gropes in d dark without them in Aso Rock. Oga since u left, govt is even more clueless with daily survival of limb & property being priority. Businesses save 4 ransom incase kidnap of 🔑 staff

Most locally produced products are cheaper than their imported counterparts. Nigeria’s manufacturers don't have to use generators, yes, but the greatest challenge their products are facing in the market is poor quality. Quality has nothing to do with whatever source of power.

Generator makers must be very please that there's a country called Nigeria. Without us, they'd be out of business. Our foolishness is there gain.

Awon werey,you can't give out what you do not have,yet my dear country Nigeria gives out power to other neighbouring countries just for their selfish interest to import generators.

We don’t need it all we need is electricity

No Mr Adesina, it won't survive because it will still be killed by Nigerian govt even with generator.
