VOICED : Lighting up Nigeria a crucial challenge for new president

Nigeria produces just over 1% of its electricity needs, leading to frequent power shortages. In Lagos, local initiatives like streetlamp installations aim to improve community life. The government, under President Muhammadu Buhari, prioritizes electricity issues but faces challenges due to gas shortages and reliance on gas-powered plants.
