Abstract

This research examines the challenges and projections of energy security
in Nigeria. The objective is to identify the challenges and prospects of
energy security in Nigeria. The method of the research is theoretical, and
several literatures were revised. This study is vital to policy makers to
adopt efficient and competent energy security policies for Nigeria. It is
recommended that there should be deliberate efforts by government to
encourage energy independence by setting new fuel economy standards
in the country, renewable energy sources should be adopted like solar
system, wind, biomass, and diversifying the economy should also be a
major agenda which also encourage public and private to invest in the
energy sector to aid effectiveness and efficiency in the energy sector and
this will also help in reducing the oil prices.
