  "summary": "The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) in Nigeria has called for a unified approach among government agencies, state governments, development partners, private operators and other stakeholders to accelerate electricity access across the country. REA Managing Director, Dr Abba Abubakar Aliyu, emphasized the need for stronger coordination during the official relaunch of the Off-Grid Stakeholder Coordination and Partnership Forum in Abuja. He highlighted the importance of avoiding duplication of projects, improving the use of limited resources and ensuring interventions reach those in need most. Aliyu also pointed out that some agencies involved in power-related projects are not traditionally regarded as major power-sector institutions, and stressed the need for better coordination across the sector.",
