Clearing debts sends a strong signal to both local and foreign investors.

Will foreign capital now flow into Nigeria’s power sector?

Clearing debts is more than just an accounting move. It’s a signal. A message to the market that Nigeria’s power sector is serious about financial discipline, sustainability, and long-term viability.

But here is the thing: foreign capital doesn’t flow solely because debts are cleared. Investors are looking for a combination of predictable cash flows, regulatory stability, and clear returns. Debt clearance improves confidence, but it’s one piece of a larger puzzle.
