Lying is not good oh. Stop scamming Nigerians.

Electricity has improved since Jan 31st here in ibadan tho.

Part of gej's achievements

From the 1st of February we've been having light almost throughout the day. I thought they were doing it to justify this their price hike

Power supply in my area has improved though we have outages from time to time. Anyone living around odili road area in PH should be able to attest to this...

Power supply here in Zaria have greatly increase

We should thank former President Goodluck Jonathan for this achievement as these improvement were brought about by investment and policies made by Eng Barth Nnaji and Eng Chinedu Nebo who were the then ministers of power

And who should we thank for the $2.1Billion diverted Arms funds & the missing $49Billion?

It has improve in Ajah, Lekki, Lagos. I even thought other areas had issues cos if they even take the light the maximum time interval is 30mins - 1 hour. I never knew mega watts was increased.

Good that people are observing changes. Just that the impact isn't felt everywhere. If this government means real business and with the tariff increase,it's gonna get better.

this a v.good news.

Chio darisgodu ooh

yet no light, liars.

Akure is d worst place to leave in terms of light.

Has it entered national grid.. Ofcourse not, so light has improved campaign has nothing 2 do with 5000BW achieved... I just pray the capital projects of this administration with tackle power generation 1st, distributionn supply will b dealt with accordingly

I had to give out my power bank to a frnd serving in SE. We hv an uninterrupted power of an average of 20 hrs a day

Buhari is winning on all fronts.
I'm waiting for the supporters of corruption to attribute this milestone to gej and rainy season.

True in kano though.....
