REVEALED: 5 states with constant electricity supply in Nigeria




Electricity supply in Nigeria has been a constant challenge for years, with power outages frequent in many states.

However, some states are fortunate enough to experience relatively stable power compared to others. Here are some of the states with constant electricity supply in Nigeria.

1.Lagos State

As Nigeria’s economic hub, Lagos State enjoys relatively stable electricity compared to many other states. Its industrial and commercial importance has led to investments in better power infrastructure.

Areas such as Victoria Island, Lekki, and Ikoyi are mainly known for having good electricity supply, which makes Lagos a preferred location for businesses.

2.Ogun State

Ogun State benefits from a better electricity supply due to its proximity to Lagos. The state has developed infrastructure to support its growing economy with numerous factories and industrial estates in places like Agbara and Ota.

Ogun is known for having a steady power supply, which makes it attractive to industries and manufacturing plants.

3.Rivers State

Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, is another area known for having relatively stable electricity. As the center of Nigeria’s oil industry, the state’s economic significance has ensured a better electricity supply.

While not perfect, residents and businesses in critical areas of Port Harcourt experience fewer power outages than many other states in Nigeria.

4.Akwa Ibom State

Akwa Ibom has recently become one of the states in Nigeria with improved electricity supply, thanks to the government’s investments in power infrastructure.

The state has Its power plants, such as the Ibom Power Plant, which helps generate and stabilize electricity for the people of the state. Residents in Uyo, the state capital, often report a better power situation than in many other parts of Nigeria.

5.FCT, Abuja

Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, is known for having a relatively consistent power supply, especially in government and commercial areas. Due to the city’s federal importance, the power situation in Abuja is better than in many other parts of Nigeria.

While Nigeria faces significant challenges in providing a constant electricity supply, some states are ahead of others. These states, which have a steady electricity supply, are leading the way in providing a more reliable power source for their residents. (Nigerian Tribune: Text, Excluding Headline)
