help me tell dat guy arguing up there. If we are to follo his analogy non of our presidents both past n present would have been president.

Drversatile:
What do you expect when you bring someone from AFDB to head a critical part of our power sector? This is another 100 step backward. Those contracts that are revoked will be technical to the sustainability of the next to nothing Megawatts we have.

TCN should be headed by a technical person.

Only time will tell if Fash is doing the right thing

www.edmaths.com is a new academic website on Mathematics for students from Primary 1 to SS3 (i.e Year 1 to Year 12).

The website contains past questions and model questions with solutions/answers, for students to practice.

It is free!

More often than not, whenever workers begin to demonstrate and demonstrate over the change of their MD, there is usually something they gain corruptly from the status-quo which they dont want to lose. This reminds me of SEC staff a few years ago protesting the appointment of Arunma Oteh.

I really do nt get why nigerian governmrnt employees thinks because they ave a union they can demand for anything and get it. Its even a shame that the last MD is a technical expert but cant do the needful of increasing our transmission capacity. Pls he shld give way and let the new man work abeg we need power.

SalamRushdie:
Another Buharistic type leadership based on all brawn and no brains , watch as this sensationalist will bring TCN to its knees in the coming weeks ..He suspended all purchases orders including genuine and critical ones needed in time to improve power supply ..A good leader will take his time and study the orders to know which is strategic to the timely success but a Buharist will show up tense the whole industry up by announcing a blanket suspension of orders which will in turn tense up creditors to TCN vendors and make things worse

You just want to talk right? See how you made no sense at all.

The workers are protesting that an Accountant (Mr Usman Mohammed) who was a staff of AfDB should not be appointed to take over from a certified PhD Engineering practitioner (Dr. Abubakar Atiku) in such an important parastatal like TCN.
Can an Engineer be appointed to head National Hospital Abuja or UNTH?
Putting square pegs in round holes is one key reasons the country is dormant.

How come it was the engineers at the helm who ran it down for the past 100 years plus? Biko park one side.

I would prefer a carpenter with high level administrative prowess be installed as the new TCN boss than have an engineer whose work isn't felt in the power sector.

God bless you for educating the MR ITK

It's already apparent that this new MD will be a foolish one. Typical of Buhari's cronies.

the question you need to answer is how has the power sector fair under your so called prof. of engineer. like tcn like nupeng. they are conduit pipes Nigeria waste money. whenever you talk about sanitizing them, they go on rampage holding the nation to hostage because of the essential services they tend to render. to manage a business or organization you don't need technical know-how, but if you do, it only an additional advantage. you have different dept with competent expert manning them. your duty is to coordinate.

when you grow or get more exposed you'll realize that administrators/managers by virtue of their knowledge and skills can run anywhere. Most hospitals in the US are not headed by doctors, most banks have engineers and others in charge. Aruma oteh led SEC beautifully and gallantly yet is an engineer/scientist. We need to move from this myopic reasoning. My point is that in order to head the TCN, he doesn't need to be an engineer. He needs to be an excellent administrator or people manager with good knowledge about the TCN and power sector. He's worked there so I guess his knowledge is good. His level of quality transferrable skills I assume is high considering he's coming from the AFDB.
