Natural gas is becoming the fastest-growing fossil fuel and one of the sources of electricity generation in Nigeria. This study examines the over-dependence on natural gas for electricity generation in Nigeria between 1999 and 2012. The study employed the gas supply security index (GSSI) derived from four indicators of security of gas supply, with a higher index indicating higher gas supply that might lead to vulnerability in electricity generation. The results revealed that Nigeria was least and most vulnerable in 2000 and 2005 respectively. In 2012, the GSSI was 0.83, making it the second mostvulnerable among the years considered. This was due to the nation's over-reliance on natural gas for electricity generation as well as its greater exposure to geopolitical risks. Once there is any disruption in natural gas supply, the resultant effect is fluctuations in electricity generation. The study suggests that government should target other possible sources for power generation to mitigate natural gas supply disruption.
