The federal government on Friday said it has met 5,500 megawatts in power generation. It equally disclosed that N1.5bn was lost yearly to vandalism. This is just as President Goodluck Jonathan would soon commence inauguration of completed power projects across the country. This disclosure was made at a joint press briefing by the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo and Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam at the end of the last meeting of the Board of Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) Ltd, held at the vice presidential wing of the presidential villa. The meeting was chaired by Vice-President Namadi Sambo. According to Nebo, Jonathan's administration had achieved minimum electricity generation capacity of 5,500 megawatts, despite unrelenting sabotage of oil and gas pipelines by vandals. He noted that government was losing N120 million monthly and N1.5 billion yearly to repairs of vandalised pipelines. Nebo stressed that deliberate vandalism of pipelines every two weeks resulted in the nation losing about 1,600 megawatts of electricity at a particular time. The minister charged the incoming government of Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) to step up security surveillance of the petroleum pipelines in the country, as well as consider the digitalisation of the surveillance system. "Four power plants have been completed and will be commissioned in the next couple of weeks; Sapele is one of them, Ihobor is another one. And hopefully and by the grace of God, we intend to do the commissioning very soon so that Nigerians will enjoy even more, the benefits of what the current administration has done in the power sector. "There are literally hundreds of other projects that need to be commissioned. So very soon we are going into commissioning exercise" Nebo said. Suswam said "The board resolved to commission some of the numerous projects under the NIPP programme. Those projects are to be commissioned in the subsequent weeks." Apart from the new power plants, he stressed that the government had completed more transmission lines, but would not be able to complete some sales transactions because of some complications in the bid process and inadequate gas supply. The inability to seal the sale transactions deals, Suswam explained, were not due to fear of the unknown when a new government comes on board next month. Managing Director of the NDPHC, James Olotu, noted that the company's 2013-2014 statement of accounts was now ready for anyone or institution that wanted to know the financial status of NDPHC http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/we-now-generate-5-500-megawatts-of-power-says-fg/207119/ . 1 Like |

Lagos state with a population of about 16-20million alone need about 15k megawatts yet a whole nation of about 150millions are struggling with 6k megawatts, haa only God can save Nigeria, let us all hope the megawatts will increase to about 10-20k befor2019. Lalasticlala 18 Likes |

According to Nebo, Jonathan's administration had achieved minimum electricity generation capacity of 5,500 megawatts. Installed capacity of 5,500MW is what they have achieved but actual generation is still far below that. 41 Likes 2 Shares |

dridowu: This is why the loud mouth governor of Lagos State, Gov. Fashola should be given the minister for power for him to give Nigerians stable power supply in ten months as he promised. 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 5 Likes |
