Masteroppgave i Energy Management - Universitetet i Nordland, 2011 This thesis is about electricity development in Nigeria from Norwegian context. Since Nigerian electricity sector is currently undergoing privatization, I investigated the policies that are put in place for the process to be achievable, looking into the electricity sector. I considered Norway as my point of investigation; I investigated on the electricity sector in Norway to see how effective and efficient it is working and the different locations of the hydropower sector. This thesis also gives an overall knowledge on the hydro plants and prospects in Nigeria, which could be developed towards a clean energy and as well as to have a clean environment. I also investigated on some issues that affects the Nigerian economy such as political instability, Environmental issues, mismanagement, corruption and so on, and show the ways the Nigerian government have tried to coup it as well as the factors the Nigerian government should put in place to achieve a clean energy which includes Environmental policies, communication with the public and so on are been discussed in this thesis, this thesis should be helpful for investors and decision makers in Nigeria.
