HC Deb 05 April 1950 vol 473 c146W
85. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what consideration has been given to the development of electricity generation in Nigeria; and the possibility of co-ordinating electricity enterprise both with the Gold Coast and with French West African Colonies.

Mr. J. Griffiths

The Nigerian Legislative Council are now considering a Bill for the establishment of a publicly-owned Nigerian Electricity Corporation, and plans for the development of electricity generation are proceeding. The possibility of co-ordinating electricity enterprise with neighbouring territories will be for the Corporation to consider.
