Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, says his children are also facing the effects of the poor electricity supply presently being experienced in the country. He said they suffer from heat rashes, sweat a lot and also wonder what exactly he, as the minister in charge of power, is doing about the electricity challenge.



Fashola said this while speaking on Channels TV yesterday

"It's a very hot season of the year. I see my children too sweating, having heat rash and they look at me like what are you doing about this thing. Let me be very clear, this problem can be solved. It needs detailed and methodical approach. First work to do is to supply more gas because without gas, I am like a generator owner who can't get fuel, so I can't power my plants. There are errors of planning of yesterday but they are errors that can be corrected"he said.

Instead of criticising Fashola, why don't we suggest some solutions.

You are a resident critic without any technical grounding/depth

Here's a solution:

Ever heard of coal vandals before Didnt think so

dunkem21:
He should just give us what the last administration was given us and we will be fine

taurusmena1:
These people do not lack the ideas rather they lack the wherewithal to combat these challenges.

Foolish Fashola... I couldn't help but laugh while perusing this hilarious statement. Was it not this same scammer who said "A responsible government can provide 24 hours electricity in six months"??. It's now time to provide the aforementioned, and they are giving us excuses rather, All of a sudden, Governance is now rocket science.

Trexnemesis:


It seems you don't know what you are talking about. Dumbo Jo did not face the problems this administration is facing now. His brothers did not vandalize gas lines. He did not bother to tackle the scam called oil subsidy because all of them were eating from it. Even to fight BH did not concern him, instead he supervised the stealing of the defense budget funds. And you expect a magician to fix the rot and effects of the chronic corruption Dumbo Jo left behind, all in few months!

What are all those criticizing Fashola expecting? Do you really imagine that contractual and infrastructural problems of long-standing can be magically resolved by any minister in the space of a few months, especially when the minister doesn't even yet have an augmented budget to work with?

Anybody who expects Nigeria's power situation to drastically improve overnight is living in a dream world. Suppliers are still not free to set their tariffs at true market rates, pipeline vandalism is ongoing and will likely be worsened by Buhari's policies, and there is nothing Fashola can legally do to force the courts to hurry up and decide contractual disputes between fuel suppliers, the discos, the gencos and PHCN. The problem with power in Nigeria has nothing to do with engineering and everything to do with economics/politics.

Exactly, just selfish.

Or daft, dunno, but when u keep hearing no gas, no gas, no gas, no gas... U start to really wonder how daft they are.

Coal, hydro and even solar can make this country self sufficient.

-Revive coal mines and make coal the major source for power.

-build power plants next to gas plants, then run transmission lines instead of gas lines.

-build more dams

-use some forest land in the south and some desert land in the north to farm solar power. Plant solar panels back to back to back
