Powering Up Nigeria

Credo Advisory was contracted by Association of Nigeria Electricity Distributors (ANED) to produce a coffee table photo book that captures the evolution of the electricity distribution sector from 2013-2021. The publication tells the distribution company (DisCo) story by chronicling their operations post-privatisation while also disclosing their achievements and milestones. Importantly, the ‘DisCo Story’ also included the historical context that formed the basis of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry and a deep-dive into the power sector challenges.

Outcome

After 18 months of work, Credo Consultants produced Powering Up Nigeria — a high-quality, 360+ page photo book that intricately explores the complex electricity supply sub-sector. The internationally benchmarked publication comprehensively documents the transformation of electricity distribution since the November 1, 2013 privatization, setting the context of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry by explaining its generation, transmission, and distribution challenges; the promise of privatization and the role of the DisCos; strategic reform initiatives; and the importance of data in measuring performance. Featuring extensive photography, testimonials from public and private sector stakeholders, and in-depth profiles of each distribution company highlighting their operational milestones and ongoing efforts to power Nigerian homes and businesses despite persistent challenges, the book offers a vivid and insightful chronicle of the sector’s journey.
