He should take it to Anambra or Enugu. Abia has shown by the people they've voted into power that they're not ready for development. The 141mw plant he already built the useless Abia government can't help him get it started.

why u dey drink panadol for another's headache?
There is a difference btw "Abia government" an" Abia people"
The project is not meant for a particular government in power but for the pple of. Abian an Nigeria at large

Believe me if he plays it right, he will make Dangote look like a pauper.Imagine being a majority supplier of power to a population of 170 million people.In ten years if he continues on this trajectory , he will be far bigger than Dangote .

He is well positioned for it when you consider , the timing in our National evolution,market need,his pedigree,and market/public perception or should i say goodwill.

Energy is something that politics can't restrain, not for long anyway, if he builds a number of 1000+ MW plants all over the SS , SE (thats where the fuel is:gas , coal ) and then perhaps Kogi state (coal) with these new partnerships and relationships he is building with GE,and other power majors the next decade will be transformational .
Power (electricity) has always had the potential to be a bigger business than petroleum(baring petroleum exports).
I will be watching his progress keenly.

An who cares if he the richest man. .u think he wants to be the richest? I don't think so
The problem with Dangote's wealth is thus..he is like one-eye man in the midst of blind pple,going by the level of poverty in the North. But is a different scenario in the Eeast,wat we have there are huge middle-class (probably the highest in Nigeria) whose combined wealth is more than that of Dangote an that's why we have less prevalence rate of poverty in south-east

Absolutely agree with you.I would rather have a million+ individuals from the SE + SS valued at a hundred million dollars than two or three five or even ten individuals getting so big to join the continents richest or world richest list.That would never benefit us.
I was just making a point about the potential of the track it appears the Professor is set on.

Why build a huge capacity power plant that we not be ready till 2019? Build small capacity plant that will be ready on time and put others in phases. We need immediate solution.

And this is the problem with Nigerians. Even if they decide to build small power plants as you demand, do you think it's some off_the_shelf plug&play product? It takes time to design, construct, and Commision a power plant.

2020 don de end oh, we still no de see light. To buy fuel sef take power gen don be problem.

Who go settle this matter na? Where the 1Mw power station ohhhh...hold up hold am for sky?!
