The Federal Government Friday
promised that power supply will be
stable in the country by October this
year.
The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu
Nebo, disclosed this to State House
correspondents at the end of a meeting
on power chaired by Vice President
Namadi Sambo at the State House,
Abuja.
Maintaining that other issues in the
electricity value chain are being
addressed in the country, he said that
power supply has improved in the
country in the past one week due to
improved gas supply.
He also said the Federal Government is
making arrangements to ensure that the
bills of electricity generating companies
are promptly paid.
He said: “The cheering news from all of
these is that if you have noticed
throughout the country in the past one
week people have been getting better
power supply.
“The gas is now beginning to come
back and it’s something that gives all of
us a lot of joy. And we know that it will
continue to grow that way even until
December because of some of the
facilities, maintenance and repair works
on the gas equipment and so on.”
“The gas producers have come to a
place where almost all of these are
being taken care of and then the new
gas we are expecting, we have them
trickling in right now.
“So that’s part of the shortfalls we’ve
had in production up to this time, we
hope that by the beginning of October,
we will see a much better stabilisation of
the entire power delivery system in the
country.”
He went on: “First, I would say we
rejoice that for the first time in a long
time we have been averaging over
4,500MW when we include nearly
300MW of spilling reserve which is put
there to ensure the reliability and
stability of the grid at all time.”
“So, we are really moving forward; it
may not be as rapid as Nigerians
expect, but it is important to let
everybody know that indeed we are
advancing, we are making progress and
we will continue to make progress.” thenationonlineng.net/new/expect-stable-power-supply-by-october-minister/

we need action and noy repeatation of empty promises .

Ktwice: Ftc

so first to comment is your only problem ?

And after october what happens? There should be assurance that the stability of electricity will last forever and not assuring us of steady power supply only in rainy seasons. Duurrrhh!!

We are going higher.

That was how obj failed to improve power.

We need real president that will face the power problem squarely.

If Prof Nebo said so, I won't dispute him. He is a man of integrity. Jonathan, if you give me steady power supply, I'll campaign n vote for u in 2015. If not,.............
