Seriously, with all the commissioning of power stations nation wide by GEJ, how come power is not improving.


One trillion question.


Many Nigerians are gullible.

I can see your frustration. If you don't have anything to say, kindly do the needful.

Not everyone is an uninformed fool. Aba already has the capacity for 24hours nonstop electricity but for corruption. If Buhari becomes President, Aba will get power in one week as everything is already on ground.



IGBOEZUE Cultural Association Wednesday took a swipe at
President Goodluck Jonathan over the non-commissioning of the
Geometric Power Plant at Osisioma-Ngwa, Abia state.
The project popularly called “Alaoji Power Plant” is the only
completed Private, Public Partnership (PPP)power project
completed over a year ago that is yet to be commissioned or
made available for public use.
Igboezue, through its founder, Chief Chekwas Okorie, described
the non-commissioning as “the worst form of marginalisation of
Ndigbo in recent times”.
Okorie, in a statement wondered why President Jonathan, whom
Ndigbo voted massively for in the last presidential election,
would allow the level of degrading of the psyche of Ndigbo by
not putting to use, the power plant which was completed over a
year ago by the Geometric Power Company Ltd.
He also expressed dissatisfaction over the decrepit state of
federal roads in the south east, particularly the Enugu – Port
Harcourt and Enugu – Onitsha expressways, stressing that rather
than show commitment on getting the roads reconstructed,
government was playing politics and deceiving people, while
several people die daily on these roads.
The body wondered why Ndigbo should again trust and vote for
Jonathan since he could allow several industries in the south
east and Aba in particular to be shut down due to non-putting to
use of the Power Plant and non-repair of the roads.
Said Chief Okorie: “The case of the non-commissioning of the
Osisioma Power Plant covering Aba/Ariaria Business District is
an intriguing executive action that bothers on callousness,
insensitivity and extreme marginalization taken too far.
“We are aware that the PDP Federal Government under President
Olusegun Obasanjo concessioned the Osisioma Power Project to
Geometrics Power Plant. This project covers 9 Local Government
Areas in Abia State, otherwise referred to as Aba/Ariaria
Business District.
“Geometrics with dedication and commitment to make its
contribution to the solution to the nagging electricity supply in
Nigeria embarked on the project without delay. They invited
technical partners and raised necessary funds from financial
institutions to execute the laudable project. The completed
project was to be commissioned for electricity supply to the area
in October 2013.
“The general public, especially the enterprising and long-
suffering business men and women who live and do their
businesses in the area under reference waited and prayed for the
day they would begin to enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply
year in year out but this day is yet to come as a result of
mindless and most unpatriotic political intrigue that has been
playing out under the very watch of President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan, the apostle of Transformation Agenda.
“We are aware that at the completion of the Osisioma Power
Project, various investors had sunk over $500,000,000.00 and for
the over one year the completed project had remained dormant,
Geometrics has been incurring interest cost of the fund borrowed
to the tune of about $3,000,000.00 every month.
“We are also aware that contrary to the agreement entered into
by Geometrics and Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN)
representing the Federal Government of Nigeria, a new set of
greedy, wicked and selfish persons in high places halted the
commissioning of the Power Plant and proceeded to
concessioning the whole of the South East to a new company, the
Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC, in a very spurious
and dubious privatization arrangement that has the implication of
transferring the huge investment of Geometrics to the new
company (Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC.)”.
He wondered why the entreaties made by Ndigbo Lagos, led by
Prof. Anya O. Anya and another group of eminent Igbo leaders,
mostly of the PDP extraction, led by Dr. Alex Ekwueme, the
President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Garry Enwo-
Igariwey, to President Jonathan, failed to yield any positive
result.

Hi. I am an Engineer.

If a completed power plant is connected to the grid and powered up, the resultant improvement is instantaneous!

It's like three guys (Power Stations) pushing a car (load) and two more guys join them to push. Won't the car immediately roll faster?
Which is not a days work right? Same thing I am talking about.
Take all this commissioning tingz with a pinch of salt, my brother. Unless the commissioned stations are not working ( shocked shocked shocked ), there is something they are not telling us.

Peace.

TRASH.
One mouth, you people are saying it's not a completed power plant, with the other corner of the mouth, you people are saying it's completed a year ago.
Confused set of people. You're quoting Chekwas Okorie, is he the engineer in charge of the plant?

please go back to your infamous job of defending a 419 governor.

Bro, not meaning to be rude, but everything about a project has to be completed before commissioning.

There is PRE-COMMISSIONING, which is like first run on a brand new laptop. All systems are tested under working conditions and certified okay befire commissioning, which is basically fanfare and speeches.

In the case of Power installations, they are normally already working flawlessly during the ceremony. The ceremony is meant to usher it into service!

No other work required!

GEJ achievements and commissioning between FeBUHARI 14th to date surpass all his achievements from Bayelsa Deputy governor period to FeBUHARI 14th.

Its logical that he will go to sleep again if voted or RIGGED to power and wake up 3 months to the end of another tenure.

NOW is d time to CHANGE, even AMOSUN is not sleeping in Ogun State.
