Our Minister for Darkness seems to be more effective in the Works Section. A capable hand should be posted to the Power Unit to do the needful.

Ajibel:


And what makes Fash unqualified?

And do you think his successor would deliver?

duni04:

A minister posted there to do what? The major problem with power in Nigeria is those idiots that bomb pipelines and cut gas supply to the power stations. If you want stable power, get those idiots to stop sabotaging power infrastructure. Nothing Fashola can do.

ephi123:


My point is he is obviously struggling coping with 2 major ministries, which means one will suffer (Power in this case). It never made sense right from the start why he would be given multiple ministries to handle.

There are many qualified people in Nigeria, the issue is if those would be selected, especially considering this biased president who doesn't make appointments on the basis of merit.

Ajibel:


It is laughable to say Fashola is struggling. He was a governor for 8 years and he didn't struggle before he made Lagos a dream state so what more would 3 ministries pose as a challenge?

The merging of 3 ministries was a masterstroke by the President in his bid to cut down overhead cost and size of ministries.
It didnt make sense to you because you simply didnt recognise the reasons for the merger, when you do, you'll stop complaining.

There are many qualified people is a blanket statement! Those that were employed in the past (over 7 of them), what could they achieve?

ephi123:


Masterstroke? You really must be kidding. How does it make sense to give a single individual 3 key ministries? You think running a state is the same as ministries that cut across the whole nation of 190 million +

Turning your question back at you, what has Fash achieved with Power if he is not struggling?

It's only in Nigeria people turn things upside down and expect results. You are on a long thing.

Ajibel:


When you read up on the reasons why those ministries were merged, you'll understand. I wont do that for you ma'am.

Do you know the job of a minister ma'am?

A minister is like an administrator. To convey the visions and plans of the government to the ministry workers he is superintending.

He is there to formulate policies and give focus to those doing the actual job.

What has he achieved?

1. Power transmission projects that have been abandoned due to court cases have been settled.

2. The transmission line carrying capacity has moved up to 7,000 MW

3. Licenses have been given to investors to generate power via solar energy. The first of its kind.

4. Funds have been released to complete new power plants and transmission lines to increase power generation.

5. And many more...

ephi123:


Dude, answer the question - if Fashola has achieved all this and is not struggling, why is the country still in darkness?

I'm not interested in epistles, the reality on ground speaks for itself. Eod.

Ajibel:


The country is still in darkness because

1. Supply of gas is not enough.

2. The Discos are in huge debt due to inability to pay the Gencos and so they dont accept power that is given to them

3. Power generation at 4,000MW over these years is just not enough

Power has never been good and Fashola's efforts cant yield results immediately because these are capital projects that take months to be completed.

ephi123:


The excuse mantra. You guys should get ready to continue in that darkness whilst waiting. Gonna be a looong wait.

Ajibel:


Madam, how many months do you think it takes to build a power plant of 100 MW?

ephi123:
Dude should be left to focus on Works while someone else faces Power. There is only so much 1 person can do.

ephi123:
And how many months has Fash been minister?

Most of the waste isn't to do with gas pipelines being blown up.

It's to do with faulty/old hardware that isn't repaired or replaced.

EVILFOREST:
....always INSPECTING and doing nothing

duni04:

This is wrong. We're only producing a little more than 3000MW because our generating companies are producing almost nothing. They all have breached pipelines. The transmission companies can convey 6000MW, the distribution companies are dishing out metres at an excellent rate, its just the Gencos that are messing up.
Besides in case you haven't noticed, power has been privatised in Nigeria. The only portion the FG controls is the Transmission.
