There have been successful collaborations

with multilateral development banks on
electrification. The Nigeria Electrification
Programme, supported by the World Bank

and the African Development Bank connected

through mini-grids and solar home systems.
The successor programme, the $750 million
Distributed Access through Renewable

Energy Scale-up, targeting an additional 17.5
million Nigerians is already underway.
