Background of the Study
During Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the Nigerian government initiated various electrification projects aimed at improving access to electricity in rural and underserved areas. The lack of consistent and reliable electricity remains one of the major challenges in Nigeria, particularly in the northern regions like Bauchi State. Electrification projects under Buhari were designed to address these challenges by providing affordable, sustainable, and accessible electricity to both urban and rural areas.
Bauchi South, a predominantly rural area, has faced persistent issues with inadequate electricity infrastructure, which has hindered economic development, education, healthcare, and industrial growth. The Buhari administration’s electrification efforts, including the expansion of the national grid and the promotion of renewable energy solutions, aimed to improve electricity access in this region. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of these electrification projects and their impact on the lives of residents and businesses in Bauchi South.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the efforts to improve electricity access, many areas within Bauchi South continue to experience power outages, insufficient supply, and unreliable distribution systems. These issues have limited the economic potential of the region, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, small-scale industry, and education. This study aims to assess the extent to which Buhari’s electrification projects have succeeded in addressing these challenges and improving electricity access in Bauchi South.
