Abstract
Current trend of energy production and utilization in Nigeria are at the lowest level despite the abundance of primary sources of energy in the country. Facts from current work on the crisis in Nigeria energy sector have shown that it is not about resources but management, strategic investment and utilization. Past and contemporary works on this subject have identified areas of shortcoming but fall short of giving proper platform to the solution. Silent belief common to those literatures is that risk capacity is high and cannot be afforded in Nigeria. Indeed investment volume is high, but affordability is a subject of debate. Disputing the affordability is because nearly 16 billion US dollars spent between 1999 and 2007 on energy sector have not given tangible result. Thus, this work will assess energy situation in Nigeria – security and challenges with a call to advocate for strategic investment in gasification of municipal solid w...
