THE Power Holding Company of Nigeria, Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company has commissioned five different injection substations and replaced some obsolete and problematic panels.

The company said in a statement signed by the Principal Manager, (Public Affairs), Tokunbo Peters, that the company has successfully replaced 11KV panels with modern ones while also constructing new 11KV feeders and commissioning scores of distribution substations to deliver power to its customers.

According to the statement, the projects, which are strategically located at different parts of the company’s network include, Gaa - Imam, 1x15 MVA 33/11KV injection substation in Ilorin, Kwara State. This project has relieved the existing 1x7.5 MVA transformer at Gaa - Imam, Ilorin. Other project commissioned include, Ondo Road 2x15MVA 33/11KV injection substation in Ile-Ife, Ikirun Township 2x15MVA 33/11KV injection substation in Ikirun, all in Osun State, Mokowa 1x2.5MVA 33/11KV substation in Niger State and Igbaja 1x2.5MVA 33/11KV substation in Kwara State.

Other projects include the replacement of obsolete 11KV switchgear with a 7-panel board at Offa 2x7.5 MVA, 33/11KV injection substation in Kwara State, 11KV switchgear with a 7-panel board at Ibadan North 1x15MVA injection substation in Oyo State and replacement of obsolete 7-panel board at old Owode Road 3 x 15MVA 33/11KV injection substation in Abeokuta, Ogun State with modern ABB 11KV switchgear with a 7-board panels, replacement of obsolete and problematic 11KV panels at Eleweran injection sub station in Ogun State with modern ABB 11KV panels, and the replacement of obsolete 11KV panels at Abiola way 1 x 15MVA 33/11KV injection substation Abeokuta, Ogun State with modern panels and installation of 11KV Tarvida panel at  Eleyele 2x15MVA 33/11KV injection substation for Ologuneru 11kV feeder in Oyo state.

In addition to injecting more power transformers to its network, the company also constructed scores of 11KV feeders in different locations of its network. Among these feeders are GRA and Baba Ode 11KV feeders in Ilorin, and Ologuneru 11KV overhead line to separate Ologuneru leg from the existing 11KV industrial feeder in Ibadan, Oyo State.

These projects which are spread across Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara and Niger states have not only improved the quality of power supply to customers in the company’s network, but it has also increased the capacity of the company to evacuate more power from the Transmission company of Nigeria to the Nigerian public. Thus, majority of the company’s customers now enjoy longer hours of power supply with very little interruptions.

The statement added that similar projects, which are at varying stages of completion will be completed this year and this will bring a lot of improvement to areas still experiencing poor service delivery.

Also, scores of distribution substations were commissioned in 2012 to relieve over loaded substations and improve the quality of power delivered to the public. The company is presently allocating more distribution transformers for replacement and upgrading of failed ones to the 22 business units in its network spread across Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Kwara, states and parts of Niger, Kogi and Ekiti states.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the company, Bolaji Oyesiku stressed that the company is committed towards ensuring quality service to all the nooks and crannies of its network, but the company needs the customers’ support and co-operation in order to achieve the set objectives.

Thus, the statement enjoined the company’s customers to reciprocate its efforts towards improved service delivery by prompt and regular payment of electricity bills.

[b]GOOD ONE BUT THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.MOST OF THE OVER $24BILLION DOLLARS EXPENDED BY THE OBASANJO ADMINISTRATION
ON POWER IS YIELDING FRUITFUL RESULTS AS WE ALL KNOW IT TAKES BETWEEN 5-10 YEARS FOR THE DIVIDENDS TO SHOW UP.
HOWEVER,THE CONSPIRACY NIGERIANS AREN'T AWARE IS THAT,NOW THAT MOST OF THE GENERATING,TRANSMITTING STATIONS
AND DISTRIBUTION STATIONS ARE COMING UP,IT ALSO COINCIDE WITH F.G PLANS TO PRIVATIZE THE SECTOR.THE GRAMMAR
IN SHORT IS THIS:PUBLIC FUNDS SPENT FOR POWER IMPROVEMENT AND SELL TO FOREIGN INVESTORS (IBB,ABDULSALAMI,OBJ,GOODLUCK,EMEKA
OFFOR,TINUBU,DANGOTE AND PDP COHORTS)TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS.NIGERIANS WILL SOON UNDERSTAND WHEN BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT YEAR,
THE NIPP(F.G PROJECTS)WILL INJECTS BETWEEN 4000MW-6500MW INTO THE GRID AND ALL THESE FUNDS ARE PUBLIC MONIES.IT IS THESE
[i]FOREIGN INVESTORS THAT HAVE DONE LITTLE OR NOTHING(BECAUSE THE MONEY THEY ARE PAYING FOR PHCN AS SUCCESSOR'S COMPANIES ARE
ALSO BANKS LOANS WITH CBN APPROVAL)WILL ENJOY AND RIP OFF MY FELLOW COUNTRY MEN.I PRAY THAT NIGERIANS TAKES THEIR
DESTINY IN 2015.THEY KILLED NITEL WITH SWEET AND COGENT REASONS YET THEY HAVE SHARES IN THESE COMPANIES(MTN,GLO,AIRTEL,ETISALAT).
SAME IS HAPPENING IN PHCN BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS THAT THEY HAVE FAILED NIGERIANS BUT THE CAUSE LIES WITH THE F.G FOR NOT INVESTING
ENOUGH IN THE PAST.WAKE UP PEOPLE,I AM IN THE SYSTEM AND I KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING. [/b][/i]

Reference:

You are in the system eh. Well, congrats. Because the system will soon be locked up and sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic just like NITEL. Yes we regret spending money on renovating the car and selling it at a loss to our lenders but we will never regret selling. No one who works in PHCN or its affiliates should have the temerity to complain. You guys caused this mess in the first place.
