Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The federal government's debts to power generation companies reached N6 trillion by the end of 2025. The government sought bond market funding because it was unable to fund electricity subsidies from the national budget. The 2025 gross tariff subsidy obligation was reported at N1.928 trillion.

The Nigerian federal government is managing the national electricity sector under Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and is urging investors to fund the national power sector using the Debt Management Office.
