Which achievement?. Egbin is more than 27 years old. I did excursion there during Buharis regime and NEPA Nigerian engineers were taking control.of a very sophisticated plant. Everything went to dregs with IBB regime

This is a RE COMMISSIONING. That is they are commissioning again an already commissioned expansion of just one additional unit of a 30 year old plant.

Maintenance is different. All I'm asking is, is it ready to add value to our lives directly? Thats all!! You're already getting defensive for no reason

I decided to comment on this largely to educate those who are williny on the subject matter. Egbin power plant is located at Egbin/Ijede end of Ikorodu axis. It is among the power plant sold to investors in 2013. Its present owner is SAHARA who is in joint venture with KEPCO. The plant has 6 units of 220MW each since inceptuon in early 80*s, thus installed capacity is 1320 MW. But out of this only unit 1 to 4 have been operating at about 60% of installed capacity and average of 500 ~ 700 MW is what Egbin haa been cpntributing to Grid aince about 2 years ago till now due tp aging. Unit 5 and 6 have been out for yeara but unit 5 was revived about a month ago and during test running it is given about 50-100MW(less than 50%) due to aging. This unit 5 that was rehabilitate is what our President came to commission. Prof Nebo was at Egbin few weeks back for same. I left the rest for people to discern what is happening. Am ready to clarify any question devoid of abuse or fowl lang. Thanks.

GEJ has done alot in just two weeks oooooo, his army retook almost 4towns from bokoharam, in just a week he comission two power plants, in the same two weeks navy acquired 4 ships in the same 2weeks army rescued several kidnap girls in the north. Now the big question is if GED could achieve all this in just 2weeks or so, then why didnt he, for the past 5yrs plus sum weeks in office? so 9ja army is this strong to take on bokoharam and they didnt all this whille were they sleeping, so becus of election he is now taking tins serious, lolzzzz government must take nigerians as fools oooooo.anyways be it GED or MGB they are all the same talk about green snake under green grass u r refering to GED talk abt despirado then that will GMB.

Egbin has been sold so we dont know what Jonathan is still doing commissioning somebody's private expansion to his property.
Profit motive should be driving the business so the power plants should be expanding on their own to grow their business.

aryzgreat:


Reason Why am telling u y u have epileptic supply. Hold ur disco company, ur governor, ur Senator, ur house of rep members, ur local govt chairman responsible.

GEJ cannot give u common distribution transformer.

See below, transmission transformer that GEJ is providing across the power stations for power conversion.

This is 150MVA 330/132KV transformer, at this voltage level, ur whole community will be roasted like a burnt offering.

Protest to d distribution company incharge of ur area, bedc, eedc, ekodc etc Let them give u small transformer so u will have light nyafu nyafu

You are truly a FOOL...You even said you did an escursion there during donkey yearx ago..If you visited Egbin since 5 years ago,you would be weeping profusely becauze of the great achievement over there.....Mind you,Egbin power station iz now the highezt generating power plant in Nigeria...Go and hug GEJ's tranzformerz you idiot APC e-cows

Try to be objective in your reasoning. The success been recorded over Boko haram lately was partly due to the support of Chadian, Nigerien and Camerounian authorties who had hitherto been reluctant to key into Nigerian Army operations. Don't forget also that our attempts to acquire arms were frustrated by US and SA until we approached other more friendly nations.

GEJ is a gonner. He squandered his opportunity and the enormous goodwill he enjoyed in 2011 - especially in south west which happens to be the 2nd largest voting block in the country. Whatever the outcome of the military onslaught against boko haram, it will surely count against GEJ. The way I see it, there are only two possible outcome:

1: The military fail to effectively defuse boko haram. This will confirm the skepticism of Nigerians wondering how the military can tame boko haram in six weeks what they have not been able to do in six years. This will finally confirm that the GEJ administration is either not competent or at least not sincere about ending boko haram and in fact may be complicit -especially giving the fact that no high profile arrest of sponsors have been made after 5 years. War is an expensive venture and BH definitely has some big money bags as financiers. The DSS and other intelligence operatives in the country (all under the presidency) have not been able to pin any of the sponsors, but the DSS was super quick to detect the Hacking video tutorials which the APC was allegedly planning to use to hack into INEC database.

2: The military succeeds in checkmating boko haram. If this happen, it then mean that this administration deliberately left boko haram to kill tens of thousands of Nigerians for the past 5 years! It means the Nigerian army has the capacity and resources (both human and material) to eliminate boko haram in six weeks yet the terrorists were left to go on killing spree for 5 years unchecked -deliberately!
All the excuses put forward will amount to mere smokescreen deliberately put forward to justify the lack of decisive action against the terrorist group. Excuses like "the Nigerian Army is not trained to tackle insurgency", "the army is not well equipped compared to boko haram sophisticated hardwares" will all fall flat because the same Nigerian army that couldn't defeat BH for the past 5 years as a result of all these silly excuses are now able to perform the "miracle" in 6 weeks.

Now I know some people will say the NA is able to do it in 6 weeks because of the support from other countries. But our neighbours have been involved for a while and there are records that the Cameroonian Army had on a number of occasions recorded victory over boko haram. Even our own civilian JTF fighting alongside with the Nigerian Army had some measure of success against boko haram. So to say Nigerian Army has been in a solo fight against boko haram and that is why it was unable to defeat BH is not entirely correct. So it will be obvious that the Nigerian Army deliberately allowed (or made incapacitated by "orders from above" ) boko haram to kill 10000s of people even though as we can now see, it has all the resources to have easily eliminated BH.

The way I see it is that its a lose-lose situation for GEJ. I am sure APC is just using this "cool-off" time to put some facts together to pounce on the opportunity presented by whatever the outcome is.

OLADD:


There's nothing like lie here. Agreed the plant was first commissioned in 1986 but it has been working below optimum capacity. This prompted GEJ to expand its capacity to 1320MW through all around rehabilitation and turnaround, hence the need for the recommissioning. Ok?

Eluwilussit:


I am not defensive. Sorry if I appeared that way. I am simply tired of people blaming the government for everything. We are simply corrupt and unpatriotic.

The govt has a big role but the presidency alone doesn't make up the govt. We are all involved. Everyone of us.

ahaz:
am happy you said its 32ys old and it went bad during ibbs regime.and obviously no other plant has being bult until d coming of d lame duck that nw dime it fit to repair it and buld additional 10new plants.so with d level of your so called education a man that did all dis is nt an achievment to you? Dat means your mum feed you with ogogoro and cow milk when you are born.

mrmetoo1:
This is commendable. I hope this commission with immediate effect on our power supply. Let's not hear it'll take another couple of years before we feel the effect. Commissioning means ready to use meaning right now Nigeria can confidently boast of an additional 1320MW. If we add yesterday's commissioning Nigeria has an additional 2000mw electricity production. This is what this means right?

mrmetoo1:


It means all of us too should give each other a hi-five because of this commissioning and not count it as a GEJ achievement. How do we count commissioning as an achievement and failures as not his fault, it shouldn't work that way. Anyway really all I was asking was does this mean Nigeria now produces 6000MW compared to the 4000MW we were producing before the commissioning?

AkaGum:
I have worked for ROCKSON engineering on some of these NIPP projects. our Politicians usually commission a power

station that is 40% complete during electioneering times just to get the attention of the people.

My house for PH never see public power supply in the last six days

all na wash wash

You are happy with spending $8 2bn for 1000MW? What is it about the black man's brain and worship od authority figures? . 1000MW for $8.2bn, if it was your business would you allow this? . China is spending $20bn for. 25000MW and it is routine news. Here we must take costly corruption and incompetence from a hapless president because he comes from a minority tribe. So I ask you what about our kids, little things going to nursery and primary, struggling to understand the world around them, dont they deserve some consideration. I say get the corrupt trickster out of office for the future of our kids

Which achievement?. Egbin is more than 27 years old. I did excursion there during Buharis regime and NEPA Nigerian engineers were taking control.of a very sophisticated plant. Everything went to dregs with IBB regime

This is a RE COMMISSIONING. That is they are commissioning again an already commissioned expansion of just one additional unit of a 30 year old plant.

When Buhari enters office again, the quality of education will improve and you guys will learn to reason critically and stop falling for LIES from politicians who are less intelligent than you.

For now please enjoy your RE-COMMISSIONING of one of the units of a 30 year old power plant by a lame duck president watching himself leaving office.

Please stop lying. Jonathan did not expand any freaking capacity to 1320MW
