QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF ACCESSIBLE ELECTRICITY IN NIGERIANigeria's power sector is characterized by its irregular nature, frequent outages, total blackouts, insufficient power supply, etc. The power outages for approximately 26 days a month, lasting eight hours a day, experienced in Nigeria are relatively worse than regional and global average records (Moyo, 2012). The 9% of sales lost due to these outages and an average of about 97.1% ownership and operation of private generators by commercial enterprises located in Nigeria explain the severity of the energy problem in the nation (Ekpo, 2010 , Moyo, 2012). Waste-related challenges encountered between generation and distribution points, especially where installed capacities are much lower than transmitted capacities, play a critical role in the quantity and quality of accessible energy in Nigeria ( Babatunde and Shuaibu, 2009 , Ubi, 2012 ). Kazeem, 2013 reiterated that Nigeria has one of the highest transmission losses in the world at a record 35%. The recent recorded daily electricity loss is approximately 2,993.7 megawatts (MW) (Oketola, 2014). There have been several plans and projections to address energy insufficiency in the country, but unfortunately the nation has never met any of the past energy demand projections. Electricity transmission and distribution losses in Nigeria over the period 1971-2010 showed that Nigeria had its highest loss value of 49.27% ​​of production in 1981 and the lowest in 2009 with a value of 5.87% of production. While the losses of energy transmission and distribution in kilowatt hours amounted to 8.085 billion kWh in 2002 for a maximum value and a minimum value of 0.25 billion kWh in 1971 (IM, 2013). Several administrations in Nigeria had witnessed this inadequate challenge in power generation (Uzoma, 2012). According to...... half of the article......
