Inadequate Power Supply: Nigeria needs comprehensive energy audit- Expert


By Oluwagbenga Bankole

Nigeria would require a comprehensive energy audit to have total energy required for the entire load demand of the country.

This is the opinion of a foremost renewable energy promoter who is also the Managing Director of Prince AdeS Oke International Ventures, Prince Timothy Okedele in an exclusive chat with our correspondent.

He noted that this statistical data would consequently guide the government in its strategies, cost and technological approaches for solving the nation’s nagging and epileptic power situation.

 He added that most Nigerians approximately 95 % have been hitherto oblivious of the total energy demand for their homes and offices hence they reliance on assumption of figures for their energy consumption.

With a comprehensive energy audit, he said Transmission Companies (TRANSCO) and Distribution Companies (DISCOs) would be able to put their system facilities in good shape and quality state for efficient evacuation and distribution of all energy generated to meet up with the demand and supply of energy to Nigerians

He promised to sacrifice 20 per cent each of his gratuity and pension upon receipt to support the government of President Muhammadu Buhari/Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the economy of his home State, Osun to help support the solution to the age-long power crisis of the country and the economy of the state.
