Must we always call on these foreigners to execute major infrastructural contracts when we have graduates in such field in this country..

Instead of wasting excess money on foreign firm, why not upgrade our institutions too and employ these foreign lecturers to teach us what it needs to be an expatriate in one's chosen field , so u won't need to be flown out of the country before u can get a good health care...

[size=15pt]Nigeria, when will u start entrusting such huge projects to your National firms filled with ur institution graduates... [/size]

I WEEP FOR MY COUNTRY ...

Thats how not to get the job done!

Our people will simply chop the money and not do it or at best get it half done! It's our own reality. Better to give it to a foreigner who will deliver than your brother who will not.

Very thought input. U just deserve a handshake for just nailing the nail right on the head.
Yes, sometimes, I weep for Nigeria. That's when u're overseas these oyinbos no go won repect u until u prove urself to them.

Many of you just comments like the unexposed kids that you are. Projects of this nature are not given out based on sentiments but on capacity and comparative advantage. Common sense demands that you don't produce everything you can produce even when you do not have the comparative advantage on such production. If producing it in China or Japan is way more cheaper than the cost of producing it in your country with the same quality, then outsourcing it to then becomes inevitable, nobody is in the business of not maximizing profits.

China will always have the advantage in this regard because of cheap labour and low wages. If there is a project that FG or any state government is trying to execute and are looking for partners to invest in the project and a Chinese company indicates interest, how is that anyone's problem. Are the so-called Nigerian graduates going to bring the amount of money required to start the project?

Many of you just like to whine over issues that do not affect you while distracting yourselves from the main issues that should be of concern to you; issues like ensuring that 80 percent of the workers are Nigerians, best practices, standard welfare for their Nigerian staff, ensuring that workers have the right to Belong to Labour unions and other issues like these, not the nonsense talk about why a Nigerian company is not Sinotech.

All the ones wey dem don commission before gej lost the election, u don see light since then? These gej and his friends are criminal, dem wan empty naija account before dem leave office, and dem go use the excuse of awarding contracts to build power as an excuse

You will keep weeping because you are not informed. Alaoji Power station was contracted to Rockson, an indigeneous company in 2006 but only the first phase was commissioned in 2015. Similar project was awarded to Daewoo, a Korean company in Afam(Afam VI) in the same 2006 and the complete phase was commissioned in 2010. Now Sinotech completed such a massive project in14months and you are sad because you want your brother's company that will take 14yrs to complete.

I hope it means more electricity supply and not just paper work, although it's still a last minute job.

mikron:
They keep commissioning yet we no see light o. Where all d commissioned projects com dey generate light go na?

The lights wey dem commission?
U no see am for sambisa forest wey dem take am see road rescue our chibok girls

Badosqi:
Good but will must feel the impact oo. I am looking forward to when we will see 5 days non-stop light here in osogbo. We had 3 days nonstop many times, now we want at least 5 days nonstop.

we've never had 10 hours none stop.

Them ''chinco's'' are heading to the moon, have built a powerful telecoms industry, and are making strides in industrial and scientific innovation.

So, why don't you abandon your bigotry, and tell your governor and LG chairmen to develop your state into an innovation driven and technology driven economy....so that you can have enough jobs.?

You lazy Nigerians.

In a way he is right....we do need more Nigerian companies doing such work.

But we don't have them for many reasons.

This is where we have to improve our education system...especially technical education....and end corruption.

Nigeria must get off oil. And must become an industrial superpower....so that we can have Nigerian versions of Sinotech and Daewoo.

are you not a nigerian... What hv u invented

Am afraid you do not get my ultimate point.

Good morning. And drop that attitude. It is because of that that we are underdeveloped....and always finding it difficult to create jobs.

Nigeria must industrialize. We have no choice.

How many Megawatts would this add to the country? i s this a transmission or distribution grid and at what costs and terms...I beg, more facts

msmon:
Chinese construction company Sinotec has
completed a major power project in Nigeria which
links the capital city, and expected to contribute
immensely to the country’s national grid.

The project, which included the construction of a 330 kilo volts (kv) new-built transformer substation,
132kv substation extension, 330kv transmission line and 132kv tubular poles, was commissioned on
Monday by Nigeria’s Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Designed to be one of the biggest substations in the West African country, the project, located in
Gwagwalada city of Abuja, was completed within 14
months after the site work commenced, Sinotec’s
deputy managing director, Bu Songbo, said at the
commissioning ceremony.

“We have completed many projects in the past 10
years (in Nigeria). However, this is the only one
which covered so many types of work scope,” the
company manager said.

Chinedu Nebo, Nigeria’s minister of power, described the project, executed under the National Integrated Power Project scheme, as “a very critical link in the national grid” of Africa’s most populous country.

He said the Niger Delta Power Holding Company of
Nigeria, which constructed the facility through
Sinotec, will be in its second phase of the project,
focus mainly on the construction of hydro power
plants in northern Nigeria to assure a mixed grid
distribution of power.

“All these will contribute immensely to the national
grid,” said Sambo, noting he commissioned a similar power project six days ago in the north central state of Benue.

So, upon all these "plenty GRAMMAR", how many MEGAWATTS [/b]did this contribute to the National grid?

[b] A miserly 0.3 MegaWatt! (0.3MW)!

Foolish Scammers!

Last minute projects. Where are Nigeria based construction company?

Ignoramus! Do you even know the meaning of last minute?

What Nigerians want to know mr vice president who is the owner of this transmitting substation? all transmitting grids, distributing substations and transformers are suppose to be the responsibility of private companies "Discos" so why are we using government money to build substation for a private company.
Please APC and president elect Buhari investigate all these electrical power contracts, Nigerians should not pay electrical bills to private companies and still be expected to develop their infrastructure for them. why should we use tax payers money to run private companies(mostly owned by ex ministers and GEJ inner group of advisers, friends and family) the new govt should please go after these power companies, any that can not raise the required capital for upgrading and improving its services should be retaken over, shame on you thieves raiders and vandals they sold nepa for peanuts, sacked majority of the its workers, use casino and lottery philosophy to charge customers 4 their bills and still can not provide stable electricity.
