Abstract:
Following the inauguration of the Nigeria's present administration on May 29, 2015, the government realized that the development of the various sectors of their economy depend heavily on reliable, adequate and economically prized power supply, Thus, they accorded the power sector a top priority of its economic growth. This was well articulated in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) which aimed at optimizing the delivery of at least 10GW of operational capacity by 2020. Till date, energy supply remained a challenge especially the small and medium scale sub-sector of the economy. We recommended that for energy supply and consumption to be competitive and efficient in Nigeria, efforts must be put in place to reduce gas flaring. The flared gas can be processed to augment power generation, given that the present stage of Nigeria�s production structure and activities are energy intensive
