Abstract
Electricity provides power that drives automation and industrialization. Most developing countries are experiencing acute power shortages and Nigeria is not an exception. The power situation in Nigeria is so bad that a lot of local industries have been forced to close down. In this work, the state of power generation in Nigeria is surveyed and the current level compared to the level needed to successfully power and industrialize the economy. The results show that for the industrial development of Nigeria, it needs to generate 160 MW daily. With sufficient power supply, investment in automation technologies and robotics would boost the productivity and output of local industries thereby creating a buoyant economy.
