Sadly, Nigeria is still suffering from poor electricity power supply challenge. This is something most countries in the world have overcome decades back.
Various nations are now making deadlines to when they intend to phase out vehicles that are powered by carbon-based fuel.
Soon, vehicle manufacturers will terminate the production of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles.
It goes without saying, Nigeria had better shape up to this reality, or shipout.
