Abstract
In all ramifications, the development and economic prosperity of a nation substantially depend on her power or energy sector. Reliable access to the electric power needed by several homes and businesses remains a great obstacle facing Nigeria. More than ever, the social-economic wellbeing of Nigeria is under severe threat due to formidable challenges in her Power sector. The manufacturing industries are folding up, while others are relocating their production plants to more friendly havens because of the high cost of doing business. This paper reviews various renewable energy options available to Nigeria and the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEEP). It also identified the major factors militating against renewable energy development in Nigeria, proffering possible way forward to assist renewable energy policy implementation.
