“Until we are able to have sufficient power supply, industrialisation in the South-east region will remain stifled.”
A marketing and advertising expert, Jude Emecheta, has called for the expansion of the power supply structure in Nigeria to enable the industrial sector to grow in the country’s South-east.
He said power, which relied on the national electricity grid, is the bane of industrialisation in the South-east, noting that efforts should be made to increase supply and explore other energy options. Mr Emecheta urged the Federal Government to run a nationwide gas supply network which should make it possible for users to access for industrial purposes.
According to him, “the cost of production here is very high, that is why the ones that exist are shutting down”.
