Abstract
Regional monitoring networks in Nigeria are crucial for assessing energy sector performance and policy effectiveness. Panel data estimation techniques were employed to analyse the dynamics of regional monitoring systems' adoption across Nigeria's diverse geographical regions from to . A specific region showed an adoption rate of 45% with significant variations in implementation quality. Panel data analysis revealed substantial heterogeneity in the effectiveness and sustainability of regional monitoring systems. Enhanced stakeholder engagement is recommended to improve network adoption and operational efficacy.
