Nigeria’s Minister of Power Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, says there is currently not enough power to distribute unless more turbines are switched on.





He attributed recent power outages in some parts of the country to four turbines which stopped working, but hoped electricity supply would be stabilized soon as three of the four turbines have been restored.

The Minister also expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari’s 10,000 megawatts target would be met.

He, however, decried acts of vandalism which he says is causing some of the energy problems in the country.

Buhari sef

oga but you said power supply is not a rocket science. do the needful.

I dnt believe

Rocket science ...


with the way things are going, we will never get it in this country. Everything has to work so we see changes. There should be jobs for people. The schools should work. recruitment should be equal opportunity and by merit.

We have the wrong people in the right places. things will never work.

Oga fash, Nigeria is not Lagos. Tell us u can't handle the power situation..

Every damn thing GEJ handed over to Buhari has dropped including Life of the citizens; happiness dropped, Economy dropped, Naira value dropped, Security of life and property dropped as Fulani herders and DSS are running amok.

It will take Fashola more than 2 years to understand power generation and distribution not to talk of managing it.

A lawyer in a wrong place.

i laff in 'rocket science'.

is this man for real? hmmm

Dis d problem in Nigeria, how du u expect som1 wu study Law maintain Power sector Oga Fash u dey craze o

With time Nigeria will get there, because we have those that has vision on board

One of the reasons why I always tell people I'm German whenever they ask me where I'm from or my Nationality even though my Pops is a Nigerian. Nothing ever works in this godforsaken shit-hole called Nigeria. Wasn't this the same slowpoke who was boasting that he could give Nigerians 24 hours electricity in less than a year? Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Gabon and South Africa can virtually boast of 21 hours or even 24 hours a day. I'm not saying this cos I want to just talk but I'm saying this cos I've been to these countries and I can tell you it's true.

what am I seeing here? Na Fash dey tok dis one so?

He has no excuse. He didn't know he was clearly setting himself up then.. afterall to critique is very easy. Most critical is he isn't even an Engineer. Anyways, everyone's on watching mode since he's now on mode #AllEyezOnMe *2Pac

May God help us in this country


sincerely I don't understand the type of change this govt is trying to introduce to us

I am sure Fashola never thought of turbine malfunction or pipeline vandalism before boasting to deliver stable electricity in 8 months during the last election campaigns. Anybody that takes Nigerian politicians (progressives or whatever they call themselves) for their words is on his/her own.

Meanwhile, someone should help ask the MODS why I was banned for 1 week. Nobody can close our mouths from speaking against this deceitful APC govt.

Buhari is a pure dullard!

Chai! We've been scammed...

You try! Please i need light. Enough of the excuses. If the heat is too much in that ministry, you can go on permanent leave.

okeyglm:

do the needful.

Of course it isn't rocket science, 'rocket science' is something which is too difficult for the average mind to understand. But we all understand the reason behind the power outages, savages are bursting gas pipelines for fun.

Lol... you were banned for breaking simple NL rules, you probably must have resorted to insults when you ran out of what to say.

Which kain vandalism? Na d first time we dey see such? The electricity situation has been horrible for weeks!

Well, na so e be. Pesin wey dey for outside na expert until im enter inside to perform - I recall their criticisms of the last administration.

What exactly did Barth Nnaji do when he held sway as the power minister?? Surely, whatever he did can't be rocket science. Maybe it is rocket science. Shouldn't he be on fashola's speed dial espcially at atime like this?

Buhari must consider relieving fashola of the power ministry portfolio.

U say?

U said? U ppl must be stuuupid. How comes four turbine shutdown? These is what happens when u put a square peg in a round hole. When u have SAN as minister of power. What happened to the engineers? Some corrupt engineer tells him crab n he in return will tell the president crab and they both tell Nigerians crabs.

Same as GEJ. Clueless govt. Ain't a zombie nor wailer. I'm a Nigerian.

Buhari sef,which way naija.#istandwithbuharitoresign

Nigerian politicians don't like seeking for advice from their predecessors, instead they prefer to prosecute and rubbish their images. One would have thought that as a smart minister, Fashola would call at least 3 of the previous ministers and find out what has been going on, what went wrong and how to go about it. All these you can do within 2weeks of assuming office. Then you lay out your plan, and when the same problems that others have faced resurface, you are better prepared to handle them.

Now he's blaming vandals. Is he going to say he was never aware of the activities of vandals prior to this time? What plans did he put in place to counter them?

Instead of moving forward, we're now actually struggling to return to the level we were 3-5yrs ago. Its pathetic. Its disappointing from someone we have come to lay so much hope on.

Fashola: We have insufficient power to distribute:

iDaft Miscreants: Fashola says we have no power to distribute.

Yet they call the president a dullard.

Excuses all the time. I don tire.

we got your back..we believe in you ...

During GEJ tenure u zoombies lambasted him..

Today u re begging us to understand..

Re u guyz not fraudsters...
