Description

The President,
on 17 March 2023, signed the fifth alteration of the 1999 Constitution. Part of the alterations is the power that now allows the State government to generate, transmit and distribute electricity anywhere within the state. This amendment brings a change in the legal landscape of the power sector from the previous provision that gives power to the State government to generate, transmit and distribute electricity to areas not covered by the national grid in the State.

In this webinar discussion, EMRC in collaboration with Detail Solicitors is putting the new legal environment in the Nigerian power sector in context.
