Nigeria Ranked 2nd Worst Electricity Supplying Country

Nigeria has been ranked as the second Worst electricity supplying country, out of 137 countries polled, by the World Economic Forum [WEF].

The ranking came after two years of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017 which premised its campaign promises on 24/7 electricity supply.

In the poll, Nigeria was worst behind only Yemen, a crises-ridden and war-torn country.

Haiti, Lebanon and Malawi came third, fourth and fifth respectively, according to data provided by The Spectator Index on its Twitter handle @spectatorindex.

Other countries on the list are:

• Venezuela
• Pakistan
• Argentina
• Ethiopia
• Bangladesh
• South Africa
• Sri Lanka
• Algeria
• Philippines
• Turkey

World Economic Forum, based in Cologny-Geneva, Switzerland, was founded in 1971 as a not-for-profit organization.

It gained formal status in January 2015 under the Swiss Host-State Act, confirming the role of the Forum as an International Institution for Public-Private Cooperation.
