That capsule connects to a large-core output transformer manufactured stateside. This heavy component uses all-nickel laminations inspired by...

Phone companies and banks finally coughed up over ten billion naira in failed recharge refunds.

While acknowledging a recent small rate reduction, manufacturers insist that bolder action is needed. They want a policy that meaningfully lowers...

Households spend huge sums on generators and solar panels just to get basic electricity, a cost consuming their monthly income.
Official reports show Togo, Benin, and Niger owe over seventeen million dollars for supplied power. These international customers paid less than forty percent of their recent invoice. They have additional legacy invoices pushing the total debt even higher. The power they receive is generated by Nigerian companies and delivered through cross-border agreements.
Domestic customers within Nigeria...
