Why has Nigeria spent billions on electricity reforms yet millions still live without stable power?

In this eye-opening conversation, former Managing Director of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Usman Gur Mohammed, explains the real reasons Nigeria's power sector continues to struggle. He discusses failed reforms, transmission bottlenecks, distribution challenges, policy mistakes, corruption, and the practical steps needed to deliver reliable electricity.

If you've ever wondered why stable power remains elusive in Nigeria, this conversation provides an insider's perspective from someone who led the country's transmission network.

What do you think is Nigeria's biggest obstacle to achieving 24-hour electricity?

Most of Africa’s nations gained their independence between the 1950s and 1960s, but the colonial entity that spent over 400 preceding years oppressing these nations had no intention of ever leaving them alone.

Africa has dealt with the consequences of this truth ever since. Across the continent, and the wider Global South, every nation that has dared to chart a truly independent course has seen a curious rise in political and social turmoil, usually followed by the ousting or decapitation of its leadership, and the swift return to a political status quo that always favored the West.

In this report for The Spearhead, Barra Hart offers a crash course on the West’s regime change playbook, using Ukraine, Nigeria and Tanzania as case studies.

Zambia is set to hold its general elections on August 13 this year. The landlocked, mineral-rich Southern African country has been recently moving to boost its copper production, as well as strengthen economic relations with its East African neighbor Tanzania, through the China-backed upgrading of a 51-year-old railway corridor linking both countries.

On July 21, barely a month before Zambia’s upcoming elections, US, UK and Belgium-based NGO, Global Witness released a scathing report, in which it accused the Zambian government of impoverishing its people and trampling on their human rights to serve foreign corporate interests.

In this report, The Spearhead sheds light on the reality behind this hypocritical and hilariously uncreative smear campaign.
