About Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer and most populous nation, yet most of its people lack reliable electricity, with around 85 million off-grid. Gas flaring in the Niger Delta has persisted for decades despite repeated bans. Nigeria passed a Climate Change Act in 2021 with a 2060 net-zero target, and the Dangote refinery is reshaping its fuel imports.
Key Facts
- ~85 million people without grid electricity
- Among the top 7 gas-flaring nations
