CFCfan: With the planned Badagry Energy City, Eko Atlantic City and Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos State will definitely need 3,000MW or more. Power plants would be set up in the proposed Energy City. I can't remember where, but I read somewhere that Lagos State alone will need between 5,000 to 10,000MW to guarantee 24-hr electricity due to existing demand and future demand when those 3 new cities/areas are fully developed.In addition, the whole of Nigeria needs to generate and distribute a minimum of 80,000 to 100,000MW to guarantee the same.

You have to blame PDP led Federal Govt. for that.
We are all aware that Lagos State was the first State that started the Independent Power Project (IPP)under Tinubu but it was frustrated by Obasanjo because he wanted to capture Lagos. There was even a supreme court case won by Lagos State against the FederaL Govt. to refund some money owed Lagos State on this issue of power generation.
You must also understand that before now PHCN has been operating distribution and transmission services under a monopoly. Now that the market is free, Lagos is coming in full force. Have you not noticed those small transformers mounted up in front of some houses in your street?

I believe Lagos State Govt. more than the Federal Govt. PDP led Govt. is full of deceit. For example, FG's meaning or definition of deregulation of the downstream oil sector is to increase price of oil by allowing international market forces to determine the prices of oil products that we are endowed with. This is laziness, inefficiency and being foolish. How many times have we heard that the FG has awarded a contract for Turn Around Maintenance (TAM)for our refineries? Under Obasanjo, I heard it about four times, under Yaradua I heard it once, and under Jonathan I've heard it once too. But how are those refineries today? Shameful!

bory09: ok i have get it. ACN is the rigtheous party of our time they don't embezzle money still they invest heavy amount of money in election campaign. I like that,@ they get those money from heaven. Tinubu was only a governor in lagos now he owns several companies and estates in lagos and over the place from where did he get money for those investment. *i dont know but please tell me*
