Every morning at 5 a.m., Chinasa Asonye wakes up to switch on a generator. It powers the pumping machine at her home, and that early alarm is the price she pays to keep things running. For millions of Nigerians, this kind of routine is exhaustingly familiar.
Rising petrol prices are pushing that routine to a breaking point. As fuel costs climb, households and businesses are doing the math and finding that the generator life is no longer affordable or sustainable. Solar power is increasingly looking like the smarter bet.
The full story of how this shift is playing out, and what it means for families like Chinasa's, is one worth following closely.
