the Omotosho Power Project which is commissioned today was initiated in 2004 and has been abandoned between 2007 and 2009 due to funding problems.

Pls how many years does it take to build a 500MW power plant that obj couldn't complete.

This is one of ten my friend. You are the one that is not neutral, do I need to start telling you that electricity worsened under Obj

You are making me an OBJ fan?

Really?

if it wasn't for what OBJ started on those NIPP projects, would GEJ have even thought of them sef talkless of completing them?

You can read where it said funding for the projects stopped from 2007 (When OBJ left) to 2009. Yaradua ressurected the projects and died.. GEJ is only doing the ceremonial part of the project. Thats all.

Hopes for improved power supply in the country have been rekindled as Olorunsogo is set to generate 250mw of electricity to the national grid.

The first phase of the Olorunsogo Power plant, which was among the three gas-fired plants built by the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo was to generate 304MW of electricity. But the plant has been out of operation since 2007, due to lack of gas supply.

However, THISDAY learnt last weekend that the faulty units in the plants have been rehabilitated, while plans are being put in place for the supply of gas to the power station.
It was learnt that work is in progress for the completion of the phase two of the thermal station, which is expected to add 750mw to the national grid.

The Obasanjo administration had planned to complete the phase two of the power station at a cost of $449 million, as government was poised to raise power generation to 10, 000mw by the end of 2007.
However, due to gas constraints, most of the power stations operated far below their installed capacities, while others were completely shut.

Information obtained by THISDAY showed that the 414 capacity Geregu Power station, could only generate about 100mw due to gas shortage. The plant, according to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) sources, requires 92mmscf/d.
Similarly, Omotosho power plant, with capacity to generate 304mw, could generate only 39mw but requires 75mmscf/d.
The three power plants - Geregu, Omotosho and Olorunsogo, were built in the twilight of the Obasanjo administration.
Rekindling hopes of improved power supply from the thermal stations, Managing Director of National Integrated Power Project (NIPP), Mr. James Olotu, disclosed that at least two units of the Olorunsogo plant, are expected to add about 250 mw, while another 500mw will come from the Alaoji and Sapele power stations respectively.

‘We are expecting that by the end of this year, Olorunsogo (Papalanto) will give us at least two units before December, which will give us about 250 mw, Alaoji Power plant is expected to give us at least one or two units, which will be another 250mw, two units from Sapele, which will give us another 250mw and the sum of these is about 750mw to be added to the national grid,” he had said.
The Executive Director, Operations, PHCN, Mr. John Ayodele, revealed recently that in addition to the 230 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) received, additional 600mmscf of gas daily is needed to power the gas turbine stations.

Ceremonial part? Now I know you are one of them APC apologists, no offence but there's no point exchanging words/views with you.

Jonathan is working much more than his predecessors, that's what I know.

Kindly discuss intelligibly and disprove that news report

If you have anything that shows that GEJ initiated the project and did 80% of the job, then let me know

Read slowly what you posted!! You are bragging of a 304MW constructed in the first phase, the topic is about a 500MW commissioning which is the second phase. Just so you know, the foundation stone for this second phase was laid in 2010, meaning it was achieved in less than 3yrs.

Stop being bitter when you see progress under the administration of GEJ. Its annoying the extent most of you guys go just to descredit clear progress which is starring you in the face. If you are patriotic you should first be happy that your country is beginning to move steadily towards progress , irrespective of whom you want to attribute the effort to. As a citizen, how have you contributed towards the progress of your country ? Before you claim I am not in a position of authority, do you know by spreading good news about your country helps in the branding of this country . Every negative post you make about your country further increases the number of entries Google displays as results for Nigeria .
