WIRING THE GIANT
How Energy and Infrastructure Will Unleash Nigeria

By Samuel Chimezie Okechukwu

Nigeria is a giant, but one trapped in a cage of its own making. "Wiring the Giant" dissects the nation's paralyzing infrastructure failures and the profound human cost of its unrealized potential. This is a vital analysis of a national paradox, offering a bold vision for alternative solutions and a path to true renewal.
