LightUpNigeria is a movement advocating for constant electric power to Nigerian homes and businesses.

For over 3 decades, due to a combination of the failure of government, corruption and sabotage, electricity supply to the Nigeria people has been inconsistent and abysmal.

#Lightupnigeria is targetting its advocacy at the Federal, State and Local governments to make sustainable power generation and supply a priority.

Advocacy is also targetted at investors, who, empowered by a new act deregulating the power sector in Nigeria, can contribute profitably to help generate power to fill Nigeria’s energy requirements.

In this video, Michaela Moye and Amara Nwankpa of #Lightupnigeria interview Gideon Sopuruchi of Leadership newspapers in Nigeria about how the power cuts affect the production of newspapers and what it is costing the publishing house to keep the generators running.
