Fashola is working.. .

For my side 30minutes, 1hr, 2hrs and sometimes flashing a day. So, far 2hrs is the highest.

Too early to celebrate. Electricity supply ususally peak around August and September every year due high volume of water in Hydro Stations nationwide. Lets wait and see whether the current electricity supply will be maintain in dry season from October to December.

I have experienced more than 24 hrs uninterrupted power supply in my neighbourhood in the past one week. An average of 21 hours per day is now a guarantee.


DISCLAIMER
Don't expect the same experience if you live in the back towns.

Oya let me say kudos to APC today so that e no go be say na so so criticism..
Oya make una maintain it even in dry season ..
E ma tan ara yin...

I know where it's rising from buh I can't relate to where it's rising to . I have been saying it on all electricity threads, Niger state has 3 hydroelectric dams yet the major towns do not have up to 3hours of electricity.
I can speak categorically for Bida and Minna , sometimes we don't get power for days.
Where is this power generation rising to, biko?

Oga, it is called national grid. No matter what you generate or produce, it desnt belong to you alone but the entire country. Until we sit down and reason if this system of governance is best for all, let them continue to enjoy their fair share of a centralised govt.

The Niger Deltans know better.

I understand your point very well, however even the Niger deltans are given 13% derivation of their oil which is something. The power sector is however different, moreso with the unbundling and emmergence of discos. AEDC manages power generated for this region, after Abuja, Niger state is the next important economic town in this zone, however we get the least power. How ironic.
To dey reason naija matter sef don tire me

Even in SULEJA that suppose to be having light as the commercial town very closed to the FCT is not having light oo,even as im typing no light since yesterday after 2hrs power supply

Loonyy:
I never believed it ooooooooooo until I saw with my own eyes, I travelled to warri effurun GRA since yday uptill dis morning light has not blinked! Am still in shock

Sorry we are talking about Nigeria power Supply not UgandaN regions

This is no improvement in the grand scheme of things. This same news could have been written 30years ago.
Don't want to hear about MW this or that, when do we get stable power supply is what concerns people.

Long way to go,as vast development is still required.

At least you even see 2hrs light. Here in Bida, light lasts for 30mins - 1hr, and it only comes on alternate days.

today is d third day going, dat am experiencing 23 hours of light every day........am really scared

Thank God for everything.

We at the peak of raining season. The water table at the Hydrothermal has increased. It is always so, say this in December-March next year , people will listen, nothing spectacular if you ask me.

Seems they are evacuating d megawatts to major towns, that can pay exorbitant sums for electricity. Same stuff is being experienced in lokoja.

Wailers are not smiling...

There have been light since yesterday and it has refused to go.

good news but in federal housing, Makurdi the power situation is pathetic..3hrs/day....

abajo, I talk am. the rate wey light dey show for my side fear don catch me.

To me, this is still not a good news. This is the good news I want to hear about this administration.

Power generation increased to 12,000MW

Naira gains 50 percent against dollars, N100 to $1

Foreign reserve increased to $100 billion

NPR rate dropped from 14% to 7%

Pump price at N 50/L for PMS, N55 for AGO, N58 for DPR.

Bag of rice now N2,000.

Gradually we shall get there and beyond.

There's nothing to celebrate yet when 70 to 80 per cent of the 4,133MWs power generation is from hydro-source of power,when other sources {like Nuclear,coal,wind,biomass,waste materials, etc} are yet to be tapped into.
What will happen to our power generation when it is dry season,will it increase or decrease?

As the power output increases so does our bill courtesy of unscrupulous PHCN marketers. My neighborhood in Uyo today (19/8/2016) was shocked to discover that we have been paying our bills into a marketer's account, more like paying estimated bills though you have a meter.

This came to light when PHCN men were on disconnection duty, someone got suspicious of the bill that looked like it was xeroxed with a color copier and Laserjet printed, with the customer care lines incomplete. The fracas got to a point that SARS was called, but left when they heard the full gist.

You are hereby advised to verify your bill with what PHCN has on its data base as there is a cabal of marketers playing middlemen.

Na wa. The banks should know the accounts of the distribution company. When I pay bills, I don't fill the account number field. I just write EEDC ( I am in Aba, so EEDC is in charge here) then it is left for the cashier to write the bank account number.

Beremx:
....not until i see the effect of the increase in my house. till then, it's all a lie!!

Say what?

This is good news but it have to enjoy out of this little upgrade because I have been running Generator for the past 5days now. I voted for God and not Change and I am sure that is why he is still sustaining me while I humanly wait to see where all these leads the country after 4years

Aka itiam road

Let's not be hasty with all the compliment yet the 'improvement' is merely circumstantial....

Maybe true sha, cos these people for niger state ehn, very poor and carefree. If them no get light for one year, it wouldn't bother them.
