The government said the sale will take place in the first quarter of 2023 and the proceeds will be used to fund the 2023 budget.

The Nigerian government says it plans to sell some electricity-generation companies in the country, six months after it announced the restructuring of power distribution companies and privatisation of five power projects.

President Muhammadu Buhari presented a record budget of N20.5 trillion in October for next year with N10.78 trillion not backed by revenue, leaving a budget deficit that is 4.8 per cent of the GDP., a 562-megawatt facility in Calabar, Cross River State, and the Olorunsogo power plant. Nigeria’s power system has mostly remained dysfunctional, producing and distributing an average of 4,000 megawatts to around 200 million people.The government urged the private sector to invest in electricity to end shortages.
