A City In Nigeria With 24/7 Electricity Supply! by Raxxye(m): 2:41pm On Jun 11, 2015
Bonny could ring a bell in the ears of many as the town where the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas(NLNG) plant is situated, but for those who do not know, it is an island by the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and one of the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, as well as home to the newly a established Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas.

The most remarkable thing about this town is that there is never power failure!
Yes, you heard well; Bonny residents enjoy 24/7 electricity supply all year round!

In my two-years stay in the town so far, the total time of power outage is less than 6 hours. Such outages are usually due to routine maintenance by the BUC(Bonny Utility Company). The residents hardly know how much kerosene or cooking gas sells for because they cook with electric cookers and power availability is guaranteed for their daily cookings.

My question is: if this could work in Bonny, can't this model be studied and replicated in other parts of Nigeria?

OP, not just Bonny. Ahoada, a village between PH and BAYELSA too enjoys the same 'luxury'. As a matter of fact, in addition to the stable power supply, they also have tarred roads (over 5km) and full subscription of DSTV for the entire village as at 2010 though, all paid for by AGIP.

Thats the issue our politicians fail to tackle, once electricity is constant alot of things would change for good, collapsed industries would come back to service and an ordinary man on the street would be happy cuz he wont need to depend on kerosene anymore. There would be increase in numbers of small scale entrepreneur also and alot of benefits
