Atiku Urges States to Control Power and End Nigeria’s Blackout Crisis

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has voiced deep concerns over Nigeria’s ongoing power crisis, especially as regions in the Southeast, Northwest, and Northeast face complete blackouts, with no electricity for over three weeks.
Atiku’s statement highlights a policy shift he believes could transform Nigeria’s power landscape: removing the entire electricity value chain from the exclusive federal list, thus allowing states to generate, transmit, and distribute power independently.
He argues that if states had the autonomy to manage their electricity, local energy issues wouldn’t be paralyzed by national disputes or administrative delays from the capital.
Atiku has long advocated for a balanced energy mix in Nigeria, combining renewable resources like solar, hydro, wind, and biofuels with traditional sources like coal and gas.
Given Nigeria’s diverse resources, he suggests that an easy approach to power generation could address regional needs more effectively.
This strategy would not only improve energy access but could also boost local economies, attract investments, and create jobs.
One of his key ideas is for Nigeria to encourage private investors to develop green-field mini-grid transmission systems, which could then be integrated into a larger super-grid network over time.
The impact of Nigeria’s power issues is deeply felt, with industries unable to function, small businesses struggling to survive, and millions of residents dealing with daily disruptions.
For many, Atiku’s call to decentralize power distribution stands as a much-need edchange.

Prof Iledare Tells Tinubu to Fix Refineries Instead of Rushing to Sell Them

Professor Wumi Iledare, a respected expert in petroleum economics, has cautioned against rushing to sell Nigeria’s state-owned refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna. He advised President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to adopt a more strategic and transparent approach that puts national interest first.
His warning follows comments by NNPCL’s Group CEO, Bayo Ojulari, who recently hinted in an interview that the refineries may be sold after their ongoing reviews. Responding to that, Iledare argued that the major issue isn’t government ownership but poor efficiency and management.
“Selling them off without addressing deeper governance failures could lead to the same problems we’ve seen in the past and also risk our energy security,” he said. He recommended public-private partnerships and performance-based agreements as better alternatives, aligning with the spirit of the Petroleum Industry Act of 2021. He also warned that privatisation shouldn’t become a tool for monopoly or be controlled by a privileged few.
According to him, the focus should be on unlocking value and reviving the downstream oil sector in a sustainable way. This comes after NNPCL shut down the Port Harcourt Refinery in May 2025 for maintenance. Despite large sums spent on reviving the Warri and Kaduna plants, both remain inactive. Meanwhile, Aliko Dangote recently stated that those refineries may never function again.
