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.

At last a worki[/s]ng mini[s]st[/s]er.[s]

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.
May d trailer of common sense collapse on u......

Lol. Dear the highest power generation since independence is 5,075MW and it's under this administration some months ago.

Though I am not happy with the hike in electricity tariff and I cant imagine paying for something we don't have.

So let's give BRF time to figure out how things will turn up to be.

@ Ferraricash jmichlins oji river thermal station stopped working years before 1999. It started failing in the early 80's

Adminisher:


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.

presentley:

Go and read it again, she said immediate past

Ferraricash:
ok and they abadoned it?

Quakertellicus1:


6KMW was not enough. Nigeria needs 12000MW to have 24 hours light.

Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.

Oportunity to chop money don come. Make una scrap that place and build new one jare.

Ya, Lagos state has IPP plants that generates electricity that powers the secretariat, Street lights of the major highways and some public buildings, with plan to power all state hospitals, roads, schools and all public buildings in the state (within the limits permitted by law). they are gas powered and initiated by the BRF administration. By Nigerian law, only the FG can generate power for commercial distribution. States and private individuals can generate private piwers within a limited threshold which Lagos state had complied with. Generating above that threshold means you have to send the excess power to the national grid before commercial distribution which isn't favourable to the states and potential private power generators (investors)
Try to google or research Lagos state INDEPENDENT POWER PROJECT to learn more.

MadCow1:



I just learnt about this law indebt very recently when my Estate tried to install a Power generating plant with a very large generating capacity.

Omo na so dem come warn us not to try am or......

But that law is rather stupid and limiting.

Ratello:
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.

sainty2k3:

i don't think we need that kind of 6k that did not reflect in our homes.

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

terrence12:





A clear denotee of buhari and his battalion of dullards...

jaymichael:
Ya, rather silly law. I remember when Bola Tinubu was in power, the OBJ administration stopped the Enron IPP Tinubu initiated which was to power Lagos 24/7

anonimi:


I think it's MAINTENANCE may be better depending on the expected life of the installation.

OgbonnaUbani:
But you cannot get constant power supply without the coal in the South east. Coal is the number one source of electricity in the world.

anonimi:


Why have WE not amended our law in this regard?

UrbanMystique:
pathological liar.. The highest megawatt Nigeria ever produced under your dumb past ministers is 4500.. Stop spreading lies.

Ijaya123:


We have never had 6000 megawatts under any government. Stop spreading falsehood. The highest we have achieved is under this government.

amtaken:
Not true. It was 6k before GEJ stepped down. Get your facts right.

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