As a Young Nigerian, for as long as I can remember constant light or even semi-constant light has always been a seemingly impossible feat. Government after Government, promises after promises but no result.
I remember the day, there was a power outage in my estate and my three year old nephew immediately said, 'Nepa has taken the light'. That moment marked one of the saddest moments of my life, to know that children so young have already been introduced to the harsh reality of living in Nigeria.
The most ridiculous thing is that nothing is being done. The main excuse is there is no water to power the dams, Lagos is surrounded by water (which is being sand-filled and built on constantly)
Each and everyone of us sit and criticise the Government in our own homes all to no avail.
It is time for us to take a stand. Our Government needs to know that we would not settle.
We, the undersigned, call on the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to take action, search for alternative ways to ensure Nigerians in all parts of the country enjoy more stable electricity. lightupnigeria.
