Nigeria Should Be Generating 60,000MW of Electricity – Aliko Dangote

Africa’s richest man and President of the Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has criticized Nigeria’s low electricity output, insisting the country should be generating at least 60,000 megawatts of power.
Speaking during a tour of the Dangote Refinery in Lagos, Dangote highlighted the country’s untapped potential in the energy sector. He pointed out that the Dangote Group alone currently generates over 1,500MW of electricity for its internal operations — a figure that, he says, puts the national power supply of just 4,500–5,000MW into stark perspective.
“If we, as a single company, are generating over 1,500 megawatts for our own use, Nigeria shouldn’t be producing just three times that amount. We should be aiming for 50,000 to 60,000 megawatts,” Dangote said.
He called the refinery project a testament to what’s possible in Nigeria and stressed that such industrial feats could be replicated in the power sector.
“What we’ve done here shows there’s nothing impossible. If we can build this, we can certainly scale up Nigeria’s power generation,” he added.
Dangote argued that increasing Nigeria’s electricity output to 30,000MW or more is a less complex task than building a refinery, and emphasized that power development is not solely the government’s responsibility.
“Raising generation to 25,000 or 30,000 megawatts — with proper transmission and distribution — is achievable. But it requires strong private sector involvement,” he said.
The business tycoon urged wealthy Nigerians and private investors to stop moving capital abroad and instead invest in Nigeria’s development. He stressed that capital flight was stunting growth and undermining national progress.
“We keep asking the government to exit the sector — and they’ve done that through privatisation. Now it’s our turn to invest. We know the country, we know the leadership. Let’s put our money here.”
Dangote also condemned corruption and the habit of hiding stolen wealth overseas, warning that such practices have no value to the culprits or the country.
“There’s corruption everywhere, but other countries still grow because their wealth stays within. When people steal and stash funds abroad, it benefits no one — not even their families,” he said.
Looking ahead, Dangote revealed plans to make Nigeria a global leader in fertiliser production. He aims to scale up production to 12 million tonnes within the next 40 months, making his company the largest fertiliser producer in the world.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a man identified as Yahaya Saleh for allegedly attempting to bribe investigators with ₦1.5 million in a bid to secure the release of a suspected kidnapper.
The FCT Commissioner of Police, CP Saka Ajao Adewale, made this disclosure while briefing journalists on Wednesday. He revealed that the suspect approached officers handling a high-profile kidnapping case and offered the money as a bribe to influence the release of one of the detained suspects.
According to the Commissioner, the arrest was the result of a discreet operation carried out by the Command’s Scorpion Squad, who have been investigating a notorious kidnapping syndicate operating in Abuja and surrounding areas.
“Yahaya Saleh, 40, made an unlawful attempt to compromise the investigation by offering ₦1.5 million to our officers,” CP Adewale stated. “However, the officers, demonstrating the highest levels of professionalism and integrity, rejected the bribe and immediately initiated legal procedures that led to Saleh’s arrest.”
He further noted that investigations are ongoing to apprehend other members of the kidnapping network and reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to justice.
