At last a working minister.

Is this what the 16 Years of PDP left us?no wonder there is a problem of power supply.

Thank God this Government is working round the clock,to make sure there is a constant supply of power.

Nigeria successive governments are criminals. See how they've turned the place into a horrible sight.

Fashole you need to consult with the immediate paste Power Minister so he can put you through on how he made the megawatts to rise to 6k. Enough of this constant power failure.

Meanwhile this is in Igboland where the people see the last administration as the best thing after slice bread.

This Administration is a huge joke.....even from the pix one can tell that Fashola the scammer is clueless about how power works just take a look at how he is staring at the equipment...... So so sorry for Nigerians. More irritating is when you now discover that it is still this same clown that is billing Nigerians with higher power tariff that is not working.

, what a pity

No wonder vandalism becomes the order of the day. See how dilapidated and unprotected the thermal looks.

This is the only sensible working person in this government. Unlike some ministers who have turned the airport into their office.

Who is in charge for pass 16 years?
What he contributed to power as Governor in Lagos alone is a credit.

Are you angry may be he came to visit and see the level of damages done on the plant?

Or he came to expose your backyard?

which of the past minister is that? If he's to consult Barth Nnaji, I agree. But Prof Nebo, mba. He did next to nothing.

This was a coal fired power plant. You need coal to be running first before you even re-build the plant. All Jonathan's efforts to revive coal failed because of too much complex commerciality and lack of transparency. We need simple direct intervention with the minimum of noise making

He is looking at the dates of manufacture and maker on the body of a switchgear. Nairaland has too many children making comments. You always get that feeling of parochialism and complete ignorance.

The honest truth is that gej had wonderful ideas but he failed in delivering them because he was a weak leader. I believe we still have sufficient amount of coal to generate power,all that is needed is a person to deliver those ideas. Although I doubt it if buhari has it anyway

Enugu coal is the answer to Nigeria's power generation problem. There are clean coal power plants now that are very expensive to build but when you start construction, the EU will give you grants just to ensure that the emmissions will be low. Apart from power, coal also produces a large number of by products that we need in country and also for exports.

Quite pathetic - look at the level of dilapidation - when will Nigerians embrace basic maintenance culture?

Nigerians Should start casting their stones @ these agent of "change"

It will be good if fashola can look into this. I believe gej should have done this but it is never too late . Bringing coal on board too will also help the rapid development of Enugu state.

Coming from someone that see the ponmo cutting governor Fayose as his role model, you should be worried about your poor jamb result. Mschew

Please from the look of this place, it is like this man is the first thing physical and spiritual alike to visit here for the past 16yrs and yet my brothers still find reasons to hate this government

your technocrats did not find it worthy to pay a visit. You will not die if you appreciate this government efforts. What do i know maybe hate runs in your blood

Na 2day
After visit den wat?

Most companies and institutions owned by federal govt especially after 1960 has always end up in shabbles, sometimes I wish we are re-conolized

I hope this visit will improve our power sector

Look at how moribund the place look. Our greatest challenge in Nigeria is lack of maintenance culture.

this place looks worse that a dumpster. lalasticlala where are you

I don't know who is more dumb between you and the word dumb?Why can't the past minister does that?M....

Some of them are not children but they reason like children. Too much oil money in circulation under Jonathan no allow them think like adult

Common sense should tell fashola that this trip is a waste of time and money. You can't visit a thermal power plant without first visiting the coal mine. How will you get power without coal?

Clueless govt.
