In developed nations, power supply is made available when payment is made. In any
case, in most African nations like Nigeria, power supply that is supplied by the
government is hardly available, regardless of the fact that an individual has paid and
could pay for it; there is still no assurance of its supply. Yet, economic and domestic
activities still need to go on. To stay significant, it is a typical sight to see government,
business premise and domestic houses on “generators”. This has made the Nigerian
people to give the nation the nick name of “generator economy” (Ekpo, 2009). This
circumstance was authoritatively affirmed when the after effect of current survey on
power supply issue demonstrated that 81 per cent of the Nigerian populace use different
source to get power supply (Vanguard News, 2014). This circumstance has added to the
typical cost for basic items, as the cost of power supply is added in the production of
almost everything. The issue of power supply is bad to the point that Nigeria was among
the African nations (Kenya, Ethiopia, Liberia, Tanzania and Ghana) included in the
President Obama’s “Power Africa” initiative that was reported in Cape Town in June
2013 (Clayton, 2014)
