Y kaduna?

dominique:
All that equipment will generate only 215MW Can that even power two industrial states like Lagos and Ogun?

We need RESULT, NOT PICTURES

You see your life Niger Delta Avengers. FG is building power plants in Kaduna, Niger e.t.c while you are bombing the ones in your region. Your fathers, mothers and grandfathers will prostrate for Buhari before he digs common soak-away in your region.

kayo80:


Enemy of progress. Reason, don't let hate blind you. There are already facilities that generate between 3,000-4,000MW on ground already. If we have 10 of this 200MW across the country, it will add up. Hope you know that when we were generating at 5,000MW, steady power was enjoyed all over the country. Before the militants started bombing.

southpole:


Is like you are not happy the govt is working hard, sorry chill down

Slymonster:
I believe he will do well

Dollyak:

You bush people obviously are oblivious to the ridiculousness of this power for a country like Nigeria. In terms of asset management bigger power are way more efficient and lucrative in the long run. Most small plant are only used as a back up in western world or to supply a small town.
Constructive criticism tends to rub most Nigerians the wrong way.

wristbangle:


Yes but if we have 20 of such in the country, our power generation will improve. One step at a time.

Fashola is really out to shame his critics.Hon.Minister of Power, Works & Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN today Wednesday July 13,2016 inspected the progress of work on the ongoing 215MW Power Plant in Kaduna State.He was conducted round the project by the Director of Rockson Engineering company Ltd, Mr Biyi Sangowawa and Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El - Rufai during the inspection, verification and fact finding tour.

You want them to build in the south-south so that militants would go and bomb the place?

I hope the gas that will power the station won't come from ND

Some people thinks otherwise. They would prefer nigeria fails, forgetting that as at today the live in Nigeria.

Dollyak:

The world will leave Nigeria behind I'm afraid. Micro generation is by far the least efficient way of powering a nation.

henries246:
I don't just want to believe that this government has no plans for the Eastern region........

agitator:


Please, enlighten me the power plant or gas plant they bombed? As at today all gas powered generating plants in the south-south are working.

This most sophisticated and most educated Nigerians will always give a false impression that the APC is working. While anybody who knows his onions about projects know that no project had been started by this admin.

Equipment/machinery used in projects of this magnitude are not bought off the shelf.

Purchase Orders a placed before the equipment are manufactured (manufacturing takes time as the manufacturers have to source for the materials and other small equipment, testing done, before shipping and eventual installation. I have left out the engineering stage, which takes months, purchasing(including logistics) which also takes months, and then construction/installation.

Zombies always ready to deceive gullible Nigerians.

Dollyak:

You know the amount of 215MW plant required to ensure stable electricity? At this rate your won't have steady light in the next 30 years.

Guyman02:


The pictures you see is a result of our sweat, I work on that project and I can tell you that a lot has gone into it, ask any engineer from the pictures you see there. I was impressed with the directives Fashola gave to the contractor to complete on schedule and for funds to be released immediately.



Calm down, I work in that plant and meanwhile I dont like APC, but that plant has dual fired MS5001 GE Turbines which means it can effectively be run on LPFO, LPG, LNG, Diesel and natural gas. LPFO & Diesel can be sourced from Kaduna refinery while LPG & LNG can be imported via rail or trucks from Lagos ports and Portharcourt, several companies are on queue to supply the fuels but the govt has to choose the cheapest variant pending when the Ajaokuta to Kano natural gas pipeline will be ready.
We are talking engineering here not politics

xdos:
I am glad you are part of the project. Chief, please inform us... How long has that project been on? Immediately I saw the name Rockson, I lost hope. Well I pray and hope Fashola completes this project in his time.
