Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has attributed Nigeria's rapid population growth in rural areas to the lack of electricity, arguing that early bedtimes and limited nightlife due to darkness after 7 pm lead to increased domestic activities and higher birth rates. Fayose, now the Chairman of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) board, made these remarks during his inauguration in Abuja. He also highlighted the potential benefits of providing electricity to rural communities, including extended productive hours, safe public spaces, reduced early marriages, and youth engagement in skills development.
