Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has disclosed that without adequate electricity supply, all efforts and energy channelled towards the development of Africa economically and socially will not materialise.

Obasanjo and other world leaders spoke on Friday during the FIN International Trade and Investment Forum, a sideline event at the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, New York.

The WTO boss noted the green statistics of energy access on the continent was instructive, saying that the International Energy Agency had estimated a $28 billion annual investment gap for energy for the continent up to 2030. “I will challenge this forum to really work out what should be the factors that our leader should consider, what should be the factors that Africans in the private sector will consider and what will be the factors that the foreign investors will need and consider to be able to power Africa in terms of our development economically and socially.”

But your vice was in charge of generator importation 🤷🤷🤷 Which way nigeria

The success of Egypt power is russia, we must turn to Russia weather the west like it or not. The West don't want us to have power, so they can continue to make profit from us.

Says the man that swallow $16billon for the electricity 🤬

OBJ and Atiku chop the $16 billion. Atiku confirmed it. No person elected to that ABUJA can fix that country. We are just fooling ourselves. The only solution is to divide the country peacefully or we face the worst that will come after.

That is the more reason why Obasanjo must account for $16billion he claimed to have been spent on power during his vexatious administration.

$16bn electricity project: Buhari tackles Obasanjo, asks, ‘Where’s the power?’

Please Nigerians leader, please abeg ouna, make the project you are having with Elon musk about the mining of lithium to transform our lives, please let everyone eat from the national cake abeg .... We don tire abeg ,

Where is the 16billion dollars that you swallowed with Agagu? You and Atiku are behind our darkness in Nigeria... You don't need to talk about Africa... if your democracy is not working at home dont bother to export it!!!

$16billion on my mind

See who's talking power 😂

And why didn't you give Nigerians power while you were at the helm of affairs?. Baba you no holly

Yet, the $16billion meant for power in Nigeria, disappeared under him. Is Nigeria not part of Africa?

The power that he spent $16 billion to add nothing or which power is he talking about please? We honestly have a serious problem in this country since all we do is to sit and listen to every rubbish one ex this ex that will say without questioning him is a pity...

But you stole 16billion meant for power

So he knew but refused to fix the power? May God Judge this man

Coming from someone that destroyed power in Nigeria

Coming from someone who invested $16B in darkness
