The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has disclosed that power generation in Nigeria has stepped up to 4,000 megawatts in the last two weeks.

Fashola made the disclosure on Saturday in Benin while inspecting ongoing work at the Aduwawa axis of the Benin-Lokoja highway.



He said the major challenge facing the power sector was shortage of gas to power gas turbines, and that power generation could be increased to 7000 mw if vandalisation of gas pipelines did not take place .

“3000 mw of power is not available because of vandalisation of gas pipelines, which is not helpful to the country. If we can recover the 3000 mw lost to vandalism and add to the 4000 mw, we will have 7,000 mw,” he said.

Who put that person there?

It's because of raining season

You need to know how things work before spewing thr.....sh

All we need to do is to develop our solar energy

Then gas should be fired from dangote refinery

The youth of the Niger delta should also allow gas to be fired to our thermal stations that's all we need

APC no fraud government

Always new without effect on individual

How far?

Wetin be this ?

Them don come again o!


News like this I suppose to bring joy to hearts but here in Naija, reverse is the case.

In fact I see no difference in the news cos in the days of GEJ we already had more than this capacity. Like he stated It has always been problem of how to run it.

Next you will hear is increase in tarrif.

We hope it all gets better.

The power conundrum never ends in Nigeria... Fix power and you would have fixed Nigeria.

Rubbish talk from the minister of darkness. Shey na today gas pipelines vandalism start? Any serious government trying to improve power generation in Nigeria must put into consideration how tackle the issue of vandalism. But instead APC to apply sense to tackle that, the president was carelessly saying "the region that gave me 97% votes cannot be treated equally like the region that gave me 5% votes" forgetting that the same region that gave you the 5% votes is the region giving you 90% revenue to run your government and 99% gas to run your turbines for power generation.

Still no light in some places

No wonder there's been too much power these days. God bless u Fash baba

Good one but let's hope they can maintain this.

With population of about 180 million, you are boasting of 4,000mw, shame.

Don't be idle. Make a wise decision today. Invest that spare money in Donation Hub and reap your dividends in no time. Invest wisely.
