ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: This study critically assessed the available energy resources and their relevant to socio-economic development and probable energy demand in Nigeria. The study also examined the energy policy and shortfalls on the implementation. With all these as a base, the study critically examined some of the methodology to forecast energy requirement and used it to estimate the energy demand of Nigeria in the year 2022 Result was derived from the applicable methods used, such as, by eight-year growth pattern, by analogy with Brazil which is comparable with End-used estimate by Prof Salawu (1985).
