The Federal Government has approved a ₦10 billion solar mini-grid installation for the Presidential Villa—an elite fortress already exempt from the national blackout choking the rest of the country.

While over 200 million Nigerians endure epileptic electricity, outrageous fuel prices, and rising inflation, the corridors of power in Abuja are preparing for uninterrupted solar luxury.

This revelation comes against a backdrop of broken promises.
In 2014, the All Progressives Congress (APC) rose to power on the strength of pledges to generate 20,000 megawatts of power, provide free meals to schoolchildren, create three million jobs per year, build four new refineries, and crush insurgency. The promises thundered. Nigerians believed.

In 2023, Bola Ahmed Tinubu repeated the cycle: 24/7 electricity. Affordable power. Single-digit inflation. One million jobs per year. Security reforms. Digital hubs. A stronger naira.

But today, the country teeters. Hospitals run on failing generators. Businesses collapse under the weight of overheads.

Students study by candlelight. Security falters. And inflation walks into every kitchen, every market stall, and every bedroom like an unwelcome guest.
And still, the government has chosen light for itself.
The people? They must wait. Again.
The ₦10 billion solar spend is more than just an engineering project—it’s a symbol. A clear, blinding signal that those who lead are not living the same reality as the rest of us.

We ask:
Where is the 24-hour electricity?
Where are the jobs?
Where is the security?
Where is the justice?
And most urgently...
Are Nigerian lives and the condition of the people of any importance to this Federal Government?

We will not stop asking. We will not stop watching.
