4. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Energy Insecurity is the loss of economic welfare that may occur because of changes in energy price or unavailability of energy.
Nigeria is a nation blessed with enormous energy resource. Yet, access to energy eroded with energy insecurity.
The objective of this study is to assess the economic impact of energy insecurity in Nigeria arising from volatile oil price dynamics and low access to electricity.

9. METHODOLOGY AND DATA ANALYIS
Descriptive statistics were used to show the trend in oil prices and its impact on government revenue, exchange rate and consumer price index.
Error Correction Model was adopted to determine the relationship between energy use (consumption) and some economic indicators (GDP per capita as a proxy for economic growth and gross capital formation).
Secondary data sources from the World Bank and Central Bank of Nigeria- GDP per capita, Exchange Rate, Gross Capital Formation, consumer price Index and Energy Use

14. RESULT PRESENTATION

15. RESULT: ENERGY USE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

16. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
Crude oil and exchange was revealed to have an inverse relationship. Thus, an increase in crude oil price yields a decrease in the exchange rate and vice versa.
Crude oil and gas industry was shown to have minimal contribution to the Real GDP. This could be attributed to the fact that crude oil and natural gas produced are majorly exported and not utilized locally.
The result from the regression analysis using the error correction model revealed that there is a positive relationship between energy use and Real GDP for the period consider.

17. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
70% of the business owners responded to Insufficient power supply for doing business in Nigeria, with 75% of them investing in the purchase of generating set to generate power for their business operation. Thus, this could translate into high cost of doing business as the CAPEX of small scale business will be high.
70% responded that the economic condition is unfavourable. The unfavourable economic condition could be attributed to the recession caused by the decline in crude oil price in 2014.
The impact of crude oil prices on the economy table reveals that the oil revenue accounts for majority of the government collected revenue. Thus, a decline in crude oil price yields a decline in the percentage contribution from oil.

18. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The positive relationship between energy use and economic growth have proven the importance of energy in achieving economic growth. Thus the elimination of energy insecurity is a necessary cause that Nigeria must undertake and they are contingent on:
The expansion of the nation’s energy mix
The formation of partnership between the public and private sectors in undertaking emerging investment in renewable energy technologies and projects.
Access to reliable, adequate and affordable electricity service to both rural and urban populace.

19. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The country should also increase its level of domestic consumption and utilization of crude oil through the construction of modular refineries, rehabilitation of existing refineries and infrastructural development of industrial packs.
The major issue of energy security in Nigeria is access. Thus, addressing the issue of energy access will make energy available and affordable for end-users.
