Abstract

Power sector deregulation is a global phenomena and the Nigerian state has embarked on privatisation and deregulation with the introduction of competition in its electricity industry. Economic, environmental issues and regulatory challenges, and changing public perception have contributed to the profound changes or reform being embarked upon by developed and developing countries. This paper discusses the management process of the deregulation and privatisation of the electricity industry in Nigeria, and offers proposals to avoid pitfalls in deregulation.
