FASHOLA COMMISSIONS LANDMARK ALAUSA POWER PROJECT …Says solution to nation’s economic problem is Made in Nigeria goods as Alausa Secretariat becomes first in the country to run its own power without diesel[b] Lagos State Government on Thursday achieved another first as the State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) commissioned the 10.6 MW Alausa Power Project that would power the entire State Secretariat, Alausa and Obafemi Awolowo Way.[/b] Asserting that the government has made an impactful intervention in terms of safety in motoring, safety for the city and security of life and property through strategic power projects, the Governor who spoke during the commissioning of the Alausa Power plant which was carried out in conjunction with Oando Gas and Fidelity Bank Plc explained that several places and landmarks like the Carter bridge which is a very critical bypass into Lagos which was abandoned for many years because it was unsafe has now been lit just like Simpson street in Lagos and the Ramp on Marina close to the Third Mainland Bridge. He added that 12 streets have been recently lit up in Alimosho area and is already having enormous benefit because market women who hitherto closed at 5 or 6 pm are now trading into the wee hours of the night and that from recent studies their sales have already improved by over 50percent of what it used to be. “The same is happening in the hinterland of Shomolu, people who fry Akara locally at the time before we got to Shomolu normally close at 6pm because they said it is not safe. Now the roasted plantain sellers and akara sellers sell till 11pm”, he stated. Governor Fashola reiterated that the solution to unemployment, jobs improved economic situation lies in made in Nigeria goods and expressed happiness that the Alausa Power Project is another made in Nigeria project, delivered by a Nigerian government with two Nigerian companies using largely Nigerian personnel to solve a Nigerian problem. “I see a lot of good coming out of the gloom and sorry stories. I see a lot of good. Those who continue to put our country down should continue but some of us can see the Nigeria of tomorrow and it would not happen by magic but by hard work. Some of us especially members of my team dared to dream and as long as they continue to dream we would deliver stuffs like this”. “I welcome you all warmly to the first secretariat that would run its own power without diesel on natural gas and clean fuel in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This could not have happened without Public Private Partnership (PPP). Go and check the balance sheets of Oando Gas and Fidelity Bank and the number of people they employ and you would see the gains of PPP”, he emphasised. The Governor said the Alausa Power Project which is coming on stream now will be a substitute for over 120 generators which are being used at the Secretariat at the last count which would also translate to an aggregate of 30 mw of inefficient megawatts of power which bothers on lost time, lost accountability, diesel supply and transport cost which would from today on now be history. The power freed through the commissioning of the Alausa Power Project will help improve power supply in the State. “There are two more power plants to come and we will continue to focus on public power, schools, hospitals, streetlights, courtrooms and so on and so forth as well as religious institutions. There is a new IPP that is coming up in Lekki to power the Lekki Water Works, there is another one in Ikeja GRA that will help us power the General Hospital, the High Court, the Police Command and the Ikeja Water Works and all of those should be fully completed next year”. “In terms of public power we are making progress, we have seen the progress already made with the streetlights alone with the number of kilometers and it is significant to now mention the permanent lighting on Ikorodu road which is very visible every night when you are driving in and out of Lagos”, Governor Fashola said. He reiterated that whilst the State Government supports the power reform initiative by the Federal Government, she believes that the work that she has done here in terms of the detailed power audit, needs and demands will be useful to everyone. “We already have transformer manufacturing plant and so we are going ahead to ensure that when the power is ultimately here the components to bring it to peoples’ home will be available. What we hear before is that well, there is generation but there is no gas, so we don’t what to get to that when the talk would be there is electricity but there is no transformers so we are already ahead of the curve and that factory will also be manufacturing meters in the plant”, he explained. The Governor said there is a social welfare component for the public officers of Lagos State as the new Power Plant has an impact in improving the work environment, the work quality, the work ethics reiterating that the reward for improved power supply is more work and improved efficiency. Governor Fashola, however, also emphasized that there is a necessity for conservation by everyone because utilities will never be enough whether water or power as no nation has enough of it but that most societies reach optimal utilization by a mixture of provision and conservation. Earlier in his welcome address, the State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Engineer Taofik Tijani had stated that with the successful completion and handing over of the Alausa Power Plant which was powered by Oando Gas with financial support from Fidelity Bank Plc, the Lagos State Government is celebrating a cleaner environment that brings about longer life span. Also speaking, the Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Oando Oil, Mr Wale Tinubu said the new Alausa Power Plant will provide 10.6 Megawatts of electricity to the State Secretariat and will be powered by gas through an environmental friendly Lagos pipeline. He added that the project which is another milestone in the relationship between the Lagos State Government and Oando Oil illustrates the significance of Public Private Partnership (PPP) and the benefits that come with it. Mr Tinubu said Oando will continue to partner Lagos in the extension of the gas pipeline from Ijora across the river to Lagos Island to Victoria Island and Lekki, adding that efforts are also on provide additional power to the State Water Corporation. In his address, the Managing Director of Oando Gas, Mr Bolaji Osunsanya said the Alausa Power Plant would be run primarily on gas and will reduce pollution that emanates from diesel generation that are currently in use across the secretariat. He added that the Alausa Secretariat campus and Awolowo Road Street light would also be powered by the power plant thus enhancing the security of the citizens at night, adding that the strong commitment shown by the Lagos State government before the commencement of the project ensured that the negotiations did not flounder. In his message of goodwill, the Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr Reginald Ihejiahi commended the Fashola led administration for the good work it is doing in Lagos, saying the Alausa Power Project is the third to be financed by Fidelity Bank in Lagos. He said the Power project which will supply power to 62 buildings and 160 departments will make the state more efficient. The General Manager of the State Electricity Board, Mrs Damilola Ogunbiyi who also spoke at the event said by the end of this month, Lagos state will have 360 kilometres of fully lit public highways with 68 percent of such street lights being powered by diesel. She said in addition, attention is also being paid to the underneath of major bridges on the highway to illuminate them and prevent nefarious acts of criminals adding that the State Electricity Board is currently running its office on solar and is looking at the possibility of how public schools can benefit from the solar lights.

And while some other dullard is setting up committee to look into transformer manufacturing in Nigeria, Fashola is manufacturing Transformers in Lagos and he's about to start manufacturing meters..

theshadyexpress: this is peanuts when compared to what akpabio ,amaechi and even schema are commissioning. lol @ village Late comers. Lagos state built the first IPP in Nigeria @ 271MW which is till supplying the useless National grid like your village power plants. Can any of the villages you just listed guarantee any establishment in their villages uninterrupted powers supply? Of course not because everything they generate goes into the useless National grid while Lagos keeps every MW generated which makes it possible to supply uninterrupted power supply to state infrastructures and institutions. There is a huge difference between apples and oranges, but obviously not to village illiterates like you.. 3 Likes |

celebration of mediocrity and fraud. The 10.32 MW generator that was built at a cost of 400 million per MW. Even the FG with all its fault built its power plants at 260 million per MW. Fashola and his god father pocketed 140 million per MW of electricity generated in Lagos. I will nor celebrate this fraud as Lagos has gone to the dogs.

Just 10MW plant that the thieves built at an outrageous 3.2 billion naira. The article deliberately refused to tell how much the plant cost most likely because of the outrage that followed it on social media last week. Inflation of contracts is now a norm among APC states. If they are not awarding 1 billion naira per 1KM road, it is 320 million naira per 1MW 1 Like |

I will really like OYB's take on this project, given his dual view capacity. Nevertheless, I like the vision of taking some pressure off the "dis-functional" national grid and at the same time ensuring a sustainable provision for public utilities. The government is basically looking at clusters of its structures and doing some economies of scale thereby reducing cost in the long run. By the way for those condemning the project, question is what options should the government have taken; sit down and look? Give FG the money? Pretend like there is no problem? Set up committee(s) to keep looking into the problem? After all we almost all run IPPs in our homes already (I get two TEC generators for house). May be we should stop running our generators too, in order to support FG. |
