Nigeria's need for investment in solar farms.

It has been proven that Nigeria cannot in the nearest future supply its own electricity. I remember growing as a kid, there has never been a time where there was no power failure. The national power grid is a complete mess, from individuals who tap into the grid illegally with no intention of paying, to power generator dealers and distributors who continue to undermine the country's economy in order that they continue to sell their power units.

Maybe, and only maybe solar farms could be the way forward for our cities and towns, but this will have to be implemented at a cost. Solar farms tend to work well where there has been proper urban planning. This means a city like Lagos may not benefit unless radical decisions are taken.

Solar farms lend themselves to high cost of implementation and low maintenance costs, therefore with the proper backing of government, private investors can benefit for a very long time by ensuring that 24 eletric supply is no longer a dream, but a reality.
