VICE President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has said that with increased investments and improvements in the electricity value chain, Nigeria could become one of the best power markets in the world.

He stated this on Tuesday in his remarks at the official commissioning of the 240MW, AFAM 3 Fast Power Project in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he represented President Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement by his spokesman, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said, “We have all the ingredients to create one of the best power markets in the world. I am also confident it will happen within our lifetimes.
