The federal government is pinning its hopes on a new “Super Grid” transmission programme, part of a broader overhaul of Africa’s largest economy’s chronically unreliable power sector.
Joseph Tegbe, minister of power unveiled the plan on Friday at Nigeria’s commercial capital, framing it as the centerpiece of what the ministry is calling “Resetting the Sector”, an effort to fix a grid that has long undermined industrial growth in a country of more than 200 million people.
“The Super Grid Programme represents our medium and long-term strategy for expanding Nigeria’s transmission backbone along critical corridors,” Tegbe said.

“ In the next few months, we plan to achieve visible improvements in availability,” Tegbe said.
