Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months. Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state. The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country. While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said. He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”. The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis. Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point. He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.” Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths. Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power. Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security. The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts. This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state. The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state. On his part, the State Commissioner in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition was about continuity in public infrastructure programme of the state government http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/03/can-provide-stable-power-eight-months-fashola-boasts/ 22 Likes 3 Shares |

it sure doesn't require ROCKET SCIENCE as Lagosians can see at the Lagos Island Maternity and all other lagos state owned public institutions on the Island and Street Lights with Traffic Lights linked up to the state powered IPPs. the IJU water works is on IPP, LASUTH is on IPP, ALAUSA state secretariat is on IPP I think PDP need to step aside and allow COMMONSENSE REVOLUTION take place in Nigeria. MODIFIED. Load of uneducated, misinformed and illiterate comment on this thread. Power generation is on the Exclusive List of the Federal Government just like Security, Military and INEC. No state can constitutionally generate more than a certain amount of MWs except THEY WILL SEND IT TO THE NATIONAL GRID FOR OTHERS TO SHARE, so Fashola knows what he is talking about. LAGOS WON'T STUPIDLY GENERATE POWER FOR JONATAN TO SPREAD, TINUBU TRIED WITH ENRON AND WAS BLOCKED by obasanjo and PHCN. make PDP comot for road, redemption don come. 243 Likes 12 Shares |

I consider this statement an audacious statement. It is not about talking but by doing. Fashola can go to Eko Disco and have the concessionary discussion with them. Eko Disco is now a private power company and their aim is to make money, any idea that will enable them make more money will be welcome. Fashola take the bold step by approaching them. 21 Likes 1 Share |

OBVIOUSLY FASHOLA IS VERY CAPABLE AND CONFIDENT. HE CAN DO IT ONLY IF HE WANTS TO. NOT LIKE MR. CLUELESS CORRUPTION. SINCE GOODLUCCK ABI BADLUCK CAME, NO RELIABLE POWER SUPPLY. ONLY RELIABLE BLACKOUTS AND ENDLESS EXCUSES WHY THERE IS NO POWER. ALL SORTS OF FUNNY EXCUSES FOR YRARS BUT NO POWER SUPPLY.

Sir, your eight years is a waste. You failed to transform Lagos to New York and u have almost spending 8years in office. The same way they want GEJ to do it overnight within first tenure. We must be realistic on issues on ground. Give Fashola another 4years, he cannot to do it. We need patience for goodthings to develop. Never again we give the country's affair to one man called Tinubu.The unity of this country is more important. Nigerians give Jonathan another 4years and you will not regret it. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

Now here yourself claiming you don't need pipe borne water because you have access to borehole! If you are not foolish, why do you need public electricity since you can equally afford generator?

PedroJP: I think you probably need education and enlightenment of the Law governing Power generation in Nigeria. It is solely within the purview of the Federal Government of republic of Nigeria and no single state government can generate more than a certain amount without sending it to the National Grid. Fashola is saying Allow me handle it, I will perform what you think is impossible. Tinubu did same with ENRON but NEPA said he cannot go ahead without following their guidelines. 12 Likes 2 Shares |
