As public awareness grew over the use of electricity. The various native authorities became quite aware of the needs of their subjects and initiated expansion.  The much-needed capital was provided by them while the power station and distribution network were created and staffed by the government.  Engineer in- chief acted in an advisory capacity only to the native authority with the financial backing of the native administration such power stations like Kano (1930) Abeokute (1935) and Ibadan (1940) were commissioned in some other town some organizations owned power station e.g. the Nigeria electricity supply company (NESC) in Jos sold power to government organization in Jos Burkuru vom while the A.T and P Sapele supplied power to Sapde township.
