For healthy economic growth, the nation’s power supply should increase to 18,700 megawatts as against the 4,800 megawatts  currently being generated across the federation.

This was the submission of the Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation, Eng. Peter Esewor, yesterday, at the ongoing 11th international conference and exhibition on power and telecommunications which kicked off in Osogbo, Osun State.

He called on electrical practitioners in Nigeria to source for alternative power supply saying this will go a long way to increase Investment opportunity and reduce unemployment rates in the country.
