High production costs in Nigeria result
in large measure from poor public provision of electricity.
This requires 97 percent of firms to depend on
privately-provided power for 67 percent of the time to
generate electricity costing 2.42 times more than would have
been paid with reliable public provision. This clearly puts
Nigerian firms at a competitive disadvantage compared with
Ghanaian, let alone Asian firms. Nigerian firms are right to
consider infrastructure, particularly the cost of
electricity, as their biggest business problem. |
