Prof Nebo, i know is a man who will WORK when given an assignment but Prof remember all the support you have receieved so far and dont start behaving like Nigerian politicians. *I know you wont* There will be no excuse for failure. Its time these issues in the power sector are tackled PROPERLY |

I still don't understand why a country like Nigeria is generating less than 5 GW (or 5000 MW). This is theoretically equal to 83 million 60-watts bulbs, which is not enough to go round for 150 million Nigerians. This is rather unfortunate and pathetic. The two cities of Johannesburg and Durban in South Africa alone consume about 4200 MW. Nigeria is on a long thing!!! #just saying 22 Likes |

Familiar excuses; In June, Power generation drops to 2,290MW following the vandalism of two major gas pipelines supplying gas to eight power generation stations, In August, Power generation drops to 2,628.6MW as a result of severe leaks in the supply of gas to some strategic power plants across the country Yet, Tariff increases amid darkness ... 11 Likes |

^^^I think it's high time we started considering electricity generation by geothermal sources and also, storage system methods. These vandalisms are silly excuses by any standard... Finally, power generation should be properly decentralised, albeit regulated. 2 Likes |

Simple math Since 16 is greater than 19 AND 5 is greater than 27, it is simply logical that 2,700MW is definitely greater than 4,000MW! Which means electricity supply has truly increased - its called Jonathanian Algebra and has been proven by Prof Jang and Prof Bipi! 46 Likes |

seanet02:Power generation level will always fluctuate until we build enough power generation capacity so much so that if there's any short fall in any power plant or gas distribution line, it wouldn't affect the national grid. If Nigeria was generating like 40,000 megawatts, the loss of 2,000 megawatts or so reported on this thread wouldn't have affected the national grid. In fact, nobody would have known as the relevant engineers would have silently sought for the problem and fixed it. The president and his team will continue to do what is HUMANLY possible to ramp up generation capacity. Unfortunately, there are bad elements in the society who continue to sabotage govt's efforts. Nigerians are Nigeria's greatest enemy. People complain of lack of power but at the same time sabotage govt's efforts. These sabotage may even be the handiwork of opposition elements. The govt cannot secure every inch of the gas, crude oil, petroluem products, etc pipelines. Anyway, as more NIPP and Independent power plants come on stream, the effect of these vandalisms will reduce to the barest minimum. Meanwhile, has the APC done what is HUMANLY possible in their area of jurisdiction? Where is the 4th Mainland bridge the APC promised Lagosians since the year 2000? Where is the brand new Lekki international Airport promised by the APC in Lagos? How come the APC have still not completed a railway project started by Jakande in the 80's after governing Lagos for 14 solid years? Are vandals also stalling these very important projects? From all indications, the KIDNAPPER in-charge of Lagos is only busy planting flowers, marking federal roads and collecting tolls. 7 Likes |

Meanwhile, Govt shld expedite current payments to d PHCN workers and hand over d various Plants and Stations to private hands so as to bring better Private Sector Efficiency to the Power chain.

If G.E.J doesn't fix this before 2015, the oposition have a legitimate smear on him to use in campaign. Rather than try defending this, you better look for how the message gets across to him that this is 2013 and people are getting impatient. Why blame G.E.J?? Because he's the Head. 13 Likes |

Am appalled and stupendously baffled that our megawatts are dropping like a ripen mango. During the dry season, the FG will tell us that there is no water to power the Hydro stations. During the raining season, they will also tell us that the rain has caused irreparable loss and damage to the power generating hydro plants. For the past one month, I have been buying petrol of over 30k per month just to service my freezer, yet, I will still pay for the pre-paid phcn bill. Is this how we gonna continue in this country. Then if we talk, some people would shut you down and even call for your head just because we are asking questions. How much is my salary when am using almost half of the salary to service electricity?? Yet, u still have your wife and children to cater for....the only thing that could make me stop shouting is if the FG and GEJ apologists could start sending into my acct money to fuel my generators. 19 Likes |

ba7man: Is this the same Jingo, OAU?? RD 12 Aluta savvy OAU graduates...u are well recognised! I rep Awo Hall! Unto the matter,I have continously opined that PDP(represented by GEJ) is a gradualist party...they are never in haste to deliver,they are of the view that our problems will give way by and by....poco-a-poco style! But we need individuals who are visionary and ready to move against the tide of ineptitude and 'e go better' kind of snail speed politics Its d same kind of lame excuses we have always heard from them...I recall when Prof Nebo got in,he was regalling us with 'tales by moonlight' stories of Demons being responsible for the perennial power imbroglio as if demons,ogbanje,sanponna,Amadioha and Esu-Laalu are the ones embezzling money which were hitherto voted to the sector making it to defy all known solutions Until we open our eyes and see that amongst our myriad problems,CORRUPTION is the Hulk Hogan amongst them and you can't fight corruption with a lily-livered president who doesnot want to commit class,tribe,religious and party suicide but prefers to play it safe in order not to step of powerful toes and limbs...so shall we continue to agonise rather than organise to vote out this people whose alibi for failure is that they didn't cause the rot ab initio Pls give me Gen Buhari in 2015 jare and see looters scamper into oblivion be they hausas,Yoruba or Ijaw...Muslim or Igbo... We keep doing the same thing for the past 14years whereby party members are given contracts and dey won't excute,criminals are stealing our crude even at the backyard of the president,he will only whine like a threatened armadillo but refused to do anything and expect different result.....let's keep dreaming people! I hope our case won't be like the children of Isreal who completed a journey to the promise land in 40years a trip that could have cost them only 4days of serious organization Whenever we ask them how far about performance,they will quickly throw ethnicity and religious bigotry into our midst breaking our ranks 25 Likes |

Maxymilliano: Familiar excuses;In june it dropped to 2,290MW and in August it fell to 2,628..meaning that the fault in June was corrected and definitely this will also be corrected.As long as the current crop of PHCN staffs are still in-charge I doubt if we won't have cases like this re-occurring. However,am happy that PHCN staffs are currently been paid their severance package and that hopefully by September the private sector guys will take over.Am also happy that before year end at least 7 of the 10 NIPP plants would be on stream thereby making cases like this not to be severe. I will call all the current govt has done in the power sector a ruse if by next year June I don't see a depature from the old order.As ƒσя now I will continue to be patient with them believing they are on the right path. 3 Likes |

ba7man: Your excuses are lame today. We're talking about constant drop in electricity despite the money spent and you're talking about APC.This is not excuses. It's the reality. Until we build our generation capacity to something far far above the national requirement, this sort of unfortunate incidents will continue to happen. Do you really expect the nation's generation capacity to hold steady at 4,000 MW or whatever level it is currently? Its impossible. These are man-made machines, fed with gas through pipelines. Anything can go wrong at any point along the chain. You cannot be generating only 4,000MW and hope that everything works perfectly from day to day. My position is that until we build our generation capacity to something above 20,000 MW, these flip flops and short fall will continue to occur. Unfortunately, 20,000 MW cannot be achieved within a short period, atleast not this year. When the private sector takes over the distribution system, alot of bottlenecks will be cleared. Notwithstanding the temporary shortfall in generation, alot of people still dont have power because of distribution challenges. The privatisation will solve most of the issues in the distribution chains. Even the power plants that'll also be transferred into private hands will be better managed. The NIPP and Independent power plants that will be added to the grid by late this year or early next year will boost generation. A combination of all of the above will definitely make things better. Meanwhile, the gas pipeline damage reported on this thread is only temporary set back. In a week or two, it'll be fixed. Should we them pull down the whole house because a gas pipeline problem was reported? 1 Like |
