Cheap, reliable electricity not fake 24/7 on posters respectfully make basic level of power very cheap for Nigerians, and full 24/7 power realistically available 24/7 365 days, wifi/data

Lifeline tariffs for 240 million Nigerians a small block of electricity enough for lights, fan, phone charging at cheap rate, stop using generators then cheap tariffs above that. This is used globally as lifeline tariffs for low‑income users.

Targeted subsidies, not blanket free government supports 240 million Nigerians directly no cash transfers alerts to phones only, 500,000 naira monthly starting from 5/2/2026 instead of promising free power for Nigerians—which always collapses under cost. Nigerians can pay rent, food, light, school fees for the children still have savings

Mix of grid + mini‑grids + solar:
Don’t wait for one giant perfect grid. Use solar mini‑grids, rooftop solar, and local systems for rural/weak areas while the main grid is being fixed.

Serious investment rules:
Open the door to private and community investors, but with strict regulation: no crazy tariffs, clear service standards, and penalties for failure.
