Summary. Nigeria's rural areas suffer from severe electricity access gaps, with only 43% having moderate access compared to 90% in cities. This review examines hybrid renewable energy systems combining solar, wind, hydro, and biomass as alternatives to expensive grid extension and fossil fuel dependence.
