Former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Alfa Belgore, has disclosed that Nigeria has the capacity to grow its power generation capacity to about 60,000 megawatt (MW) in five years, if it could efficiently utilise its vast human and material resources.
Belgore, who is the Chairman, Governing Council of Power Studies Centre of the International Institute for Petroleum Energy Law and Policy (IIPELP), Abuja, said this at the presentation of former Minister of Power, Prof. Bart Nnaji, to the public as the pioneer Director of Power Studies of the institute.
He said, at the weekend, that inadequate power supply in the country would be a thing of the past if the country could actually explore the wealth of experience and potentials of its citizens who have excelled in the field of power generation and supply.
"Now that the expert by world standard are coming in to take up the power sector, it is going to be a great thing.
"In five years time from today, we will be telling a different story probably instead of 4,000MW we will be having something like 60,00MW to sell to the entire African countries," he said.
