About the Film
Over 20 million Nigerians share a power grid that consistently fails them. Up NEPA! probes the persistent issues surrounding electricity in Nigeria, such as unreliable power supply and its impact on personal and professional lives, as well as the economy.
From colonial-era infrastructure to privatisation, from loud generators to solar panels and inverters, Up NEPA! also examines the historical changes and government reforms within the power sector while anticipating future developments.
Featuring voices from policy makers, energy innovators, everyday consumers, and public figures, including Kate Henshaw and MI Abaga; Up NEPA! is essential to anyone who is familiar with shouting those two words.
