Nick Agule, an international oil and gas expert, has advised Nigerian governors to maximise the gains created by the unbundling of the electricity sector by domesticating the amended Act in their respective states.
But the amended law allows states to license, generate, transmit and distribute electricity in areas covered by the national grid. "The economy will never lift up without electricity. So electricity should be the main target for governors. It is with electricity that businesses will begin to move. He said other countries have micro grid, mini grid, and the national grid as against Nigeria which has only national grid.
"Hydroelectricity comes off that. Irrigation comes off that. With irrigation you don't need to wait for rainfall again. You can create your rain twelve months a year and farmers will be busy. You can have fishing activity coming off that and you can also supply pipe borne water from that dam and also build a nice tourism resort.
