Nigeria has emerged as a key tech hub in Africa, but its inconsistent electricity supply poses a significant challenge to sustaining growth in the digital economy.

The nation’s power grid is unstable, with over 100 collapses in the past decade, disrupting tech operations, causing productivity losses, and undermining investor confidence.

Tech workers often rely on generators, increasing operational costs, and many skilled professionals emigrate seeking stable power and better opportunities.

Efforts to improve power infrastructure, including renewable energy and mini-grids, are underway but progress is slow; a reliable electricity supply is essential for Nigeria’s tech ecosystem to thrive.
