'ABSTRACT Nigerians have been experiencing acute power shortages within the last three decades despite the country's vast energy resources which include both fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. Numerous policies and reforms have been adopted and implemented by the government in order to address the power sector challenges, but with minimum effects. This comes at a time when countries like Brazil and India with huge populations and challenges like Nigeria have recorded significant development in their power sectors. The two countries have tropical weather and similar resource diversity with Nigeria which they harnessed effectively to develop an advanced power sector. Most of Brazil's achievement is recorded in the renewable energy sector through its alternative energy incentives program known as Programa de Incentivo as Fontes Alternativas de Energia Electrica. India's achievement, on the other hand, is recorded in the fossil fuel generation sector due to the availability of coal and the government's incentive programs such as the Mega Power Policy. Although Nigeria commenced a comprehensive reform of its power sector, it still experiences considerable challenges due to lack of proper policy framework. This thesis provides a comparative analysis on the policies and reforms implemented in Brazil, India and Nigeria. The main focus was to analyze the critical aspects of the corresponding power sector's development and provide recommendations on how to improve Nigeria's power sector performance. The recommendations provided were based on multiple criteria such as; the resources of the countries, the potentials, evaluation of policies that positively impacted the development of power sectors of Brazil and India, and, the current energy issues in Nigeria. Key words: Policies, Reforms, Brazil, India, Nigeria. '
