      abstract = {Presently, the electricity demand in Nigeria far outweighs the available supply; this imbalance has negatively affected the economy of the country and the social-economic well-being of the population. The country is expected to harness the abundant renewable energy potentials available for the generation of electricity. The electricity market is expected to co-integrate both the conventional generators and the renewable generators into the day wholesale electricity market. This paper carried out a wind assessment study for six selected locations in the Northern Nigeria for the purpose of electricity generation. It is shown from the simulation results that the selected areas have sufficient wind speed in varying capacity but adequate for the generation of electricity.},
