Description Studies on the development of electricity and water supply in Northern Nigeria have not received much attention. However, most of the studies dealing with the theme under investigation are those undertaking by some urban historians, engineers, town planners and geographers. Even then, electricity and water supplies are always only mentioned occasionally and briefly. Even when such studies are undertaken, they often lack historical and in-depth analysis. Occasionally, some of them do not use historical methodology and techniques for better historical readership. This paper examines the development of electricity and water supply in Lokoja, Jos and Kaduna from circa 1900-1939.
