Power supply in Nigeria comes majorly from seven power generation plants that produce 59 per cent of the total electricity supplied across the country, the World Bank has said.

It disclosed this in additional details contained in the bank’s report on Nigeria’s Power Sector Recovery Programme, obtained by our correspondent in Abuja on Monday.
