Siemens Says Nigeria Power Infrastructure Revamp Delayed by Five Years

Siemens Energy AG expects to complete an overhaul of Nigeria’s dilapidated power infrastructure five years later than originally planned, due to delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The German engineering company, which was contracted by Africa’s most populous nation four years ago to rehabilitate and expand Nigeria’s electricity grid by 2025, will now only conclude the project in 2030, Oladayo Orolu, head of business development said.
