------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT---------------------------------------------------Electricity as a source of energy is vital to the growth and development of any economy. Its significance arises from the impact it has on infrastructure, a range of socio-economic activities and consequently on the countrys standard of living. This means that transportation, communication, construction, and other facilities depend on electricity to function effectively. Electricity has continued to play a significant role in the development process. In the Nigerian situation the reverse appears to be the case because power outages have continued to affect the countrys development. Some have argued that privatizing electricity supply through the unbundling of power generation arm of National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) now Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) will ensure its efficiency. Index number is used here to study the rate of growth in electricity consumption and hence the inflation rate over time.

INTRODUCTION
Electricity in Nigeria has come a long way, when it started more than a century ago; the Nigerian Government was in full control. Now the talk is on involving the private sector in power generation.The Nigerian power sector operates well below its estimated capacity, with power outages being a frequent occurrence. In 2003, total installed electricity capacity was 5.9 gigawatts (GW). Total electricity generation during 2003 was 15.6 billion kilowatt hours (Bkwh), while total consumption was 14.5 Bkwh. According to Power Company Holding of Nigeria (PHCN), the countrys peak electric demand in February 2006 was 7,600 megawatts (MW), but actual generation capability was 3,600 MW. The discrepancy between electricity demand and actual generation is mostly due to low water levels and inadequate plant maintenance. During 2005, electricity generation capacity fluctuated between 2,600 MW and 3,600 MW. The hydropower stations Kainji, Jebba, and Shiroro have seen generation affected by insufficient water, and the Lagos Egbin, Delta, and Port Harcourt Afam plants are also operating at below capacity due to poor maintenance. Only 40 percent of Nigerians have access to electricity, the majority of who are concentrated in urban areas. Despite endemic blackouts, customers are billed for services rendered, partially explaining Nigeria's widespread vandalism, power theft and PHCN's problems with payment collection. 2.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To determine whether there is an increase in federal government expenditure on power system in Nigeria. To study the rate of in quantity electricity consumed from 1970 to 2009. To notice the inflation rate in power generation and consumption in Nigeria. HYPOTHESIS Ho= there is no increase in Federal Government Recurrent Expenditure on power sector. H1= there is increase in Federal Government Recurrent Expenditure on power sector. Our Ho is written against the aim of the study to enable the researchers have a better forum for their research. 2.2.BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY According to Odumosu (2005) states that for a long time now most role-players in the power industry have agreed that the best way to rapid development is through adequate provision of electricity. However, across the African continent, there are differences in levels of power provided such that classification on the basis of sufficiency is complex. Hence the continent can be categorized into four on the basis of population and land mass.

There are various methods or techniques used in constructing index numbers, since price indices are the most important of all the indices, therefore their detailed construction methods shall be discussed. The consumer indices can be obtained from price indices by interchanging the price (p) and the consumer (q) in the final formula. 3.1SIMPLE AGGREGATE METHOD (UNWEIGHTED):This is the simplest of all the methods of constructing index number and this consist in expressing the total prices of all selected generation in the given data, expressed in different forms which is listed below.

b)DUTOT METHOD: Dutot a French economist proposed using the formulae speculated below which is used in calculating the average. The same procedure is done in this method the difference here is that here it is not divided by the total number (n).
c)JEVON METHOD: This is an English Economist, whom in 1863, proposed by taking the geometric average of the price relative of period t and base period 0.This Jevon when used as a primary aggregate, the Jevons index is considered as a constant elasticity of substitution index since it allows for product substitution between time periods. The formulae are given below.
d)HARMONIC MEAN OF SIMPLE AVERAGE METHOD: This comprises of the inverse of the Carlis method but its counterpart to the Carli index. It was proposed by Jevons, and by Coggeshall in 1865 and in 1887. The formulae are given below.

The analysis carried out is an unweighted quantity index, because the quantity of electricity consumptions is not uniform in Nigerian. Its also of the fixed base type of quantity index .Taking the base year to be 1970.Unweighted quantity indexes only compare quantity between two periods.A number of different formulas have been proposed as means of calculating quantity indexes. While quantity index formulas all use

V. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
From the indexes calculated and their respective inflation, my findings are thus; The electricity power generation and consumption index percent rose about 50% (percent) in 1984- 2009 and it is lower than 30% (percent) decrease recorded in the previous year for CARLI, DUTOT AND JEVONS while HARMONIC MEAN index percent rose about 40% in 1970-1989 and decrease in the previous years and their respective inflation changes for index. 5.1 CONCLUSION The paper examined the index of aggregate electricity consumption in line with privatization program in Nigeria. The validity of the explanatory variables as short-run variables was examined by conducting a cointegration test and our results confirmed that such variables as electricity generation, income and electricity tariff are short-run analysis variables. In order to avoid loss of information and to explain long-run index of electricity consumption,
