Abstract
The Nigerian power sector has significantly been reformed over the past decade. Yet the country is still suffering from incessant power outages. In this study, the author noted that declining infrastructure investment in the power sector, corruption, insecurity, governance structure, and political considerations have made the power sector reform initiatives highly ineffective. Supply side measures, the right institutional framework, policy consistency, and security of investment to guarantee the flow of needed investment, among other factors, are necessary to reduce the various constraints on power supply response to reform initiatives.
