The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, on Thursday, said Nigeria was capable of generating 160,000 megawatts before the end of 2014.

Nebo made the remark in Abuja at the Nigeria International 4th Power Expo and Conference, organised by the Ministry of Power and BKG Company.

“Two weeks ago, the Geregu Power Plant was commissioned by Mr President and he would commission all the 10 NIPPs’ power plants by the end of 2014.

“Nigeria produces and consumes 4,000mw of electricity, only 2.5 per cent of what South Africa is producing and consuming.

“Nigeria needs to increase electricity generation by 40 joules before the end of 2014, then it would be talking of 160,000 mw,” he said.

Nebo stressed that opportunities to make this happen abound in the country, adding that this also depended on investors venture into power sector by utilising the 4th expo conference.

Nebo added that the services companies -generation, transmission and distribution network- were to ensure that all the plants were running very well.

He stated that the ministry was partnering with investors to ensure that rural areas not connected to national grid were connected even to renewable sources of electricity.

He listed the renewable energy sources as biomass, solar, gas turbine, hydro turbine and wind, among others.

Nebo said that when the rural communities of Nigeria had been electrified, it would have multiplier effects on development, stressing that income, standard of living and job opportunities would increase.

He said that President Goodluck Jonathan inaugurated Power Sector Roadmap in August 2010 in order to liberalise the sector from public driven economy to private driven one.

He said there were only 150,000 telephone lines for over 150 million people when NITEL was not privatised, but with privatisation, the country now had over 120 million lines.

Earlier, Mr Ifeanyi Agwu, the Executive Director of BKG, commended President Jonathan for ensuring that the power sector was privatised.

Promise recycling 101: they always promise, and when it's closer to the specified period of time, they tell you it is not realisable.

It is called the art of giving them continuous hope.

Bunch of losers.

Nebo, for the sake of your hard-earned reputation, do not tow the path of your (optimistic at best, mendacious at worst) predecessors with vacuously asinine claims and projections. Biko. This is an excessively fatuous, far-fetched prevarication and it doesn't suit you. Stop it, NOW! angry

I thought the power plants have already been built? Why should it take till election day before commissioning? This government is besmirched in lies and empty promises yet Nigerians would forget the subsidy removal, the lives lost due to bombing, the ASUU strike e.t.c and still vote for their christian south-south brother in 2015.
I weep for my country.
