CLEAN : Power conference aims to solve Nigeria's energy woes

The video discusses the challenges faced by Nigeria's power sector, primarily due to its heavy reliance on gas-fired power plants. Vandalism of pipelines has disrupted gas supply, affecting both domestic power generation and exports. Rising fuel and diesel prices have further increased energy costs for manufacturers. In response, the government is focusing on diversifying the energy mix to include solar and nuclear options, complementing conventional power generation.
