REA, NBS team up for Nigeria’s first national energy survey

The Rural Electrification Agency and National Bureau of Statistics locked down a partnership to run a nationwide energy survey that tracks electricity access using the World Bank's Multi-Tier Framework, and REA boss Abba Abubakar Aliyu says the whole thing will pump out granular data on affordability and off-grid solutions to guide rural electrification plans. Statistician-General Adeyemi Adeniran from NBS is handling technical oversight and sampling methods to keep everything aligned with global standards.

The 18-month project examines household energy spending patterns, willingness to pay for grid connections, and usage of solar systems plus mini-grids across communities and businesses. The World Bank is funding field collection through a survey firm while REA provides sector expertise and NBS validates methodology with quality checks on enumerators.
