Press Releases Fashola Commissions Transformer Manufacturing Company Urges FG to review tariff rate on transformer components Oct 19, 2010 - Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola (SAN) on Tuesday commissioned the first transformer manufacturing industry in West Africa, pleading with the Federal Government to consider a downward review of the tariff charged on the imported components used in the manufacture of transformers. Governor Fashola who spoke at the transformer factory of El Sewedy Electrical Nigerian Limited, a joint venture between the Lagos State Government and the EL Sewedy Group of Cairo, Egypt, located at Toga-Zanmu in Badagry added that a downward review will encourage more investors like EL sewedy to invest in Nigeria. The Governor said with the successful production of transformers in Nigeria by El Sewedy, it has been proved beyond reasonable doubts it is very possible to generate electricity locally in Nigeria. The Lagos State Governor asserted that the time has come for proffering African solution to African problems, noting that the perseverance displayed by El Sewedy before the project came full stream might not have been possible with a foreign organization. Governor Fashola said the fact that electricity has not failed in Cairo, the home base of the company where it plays a major role in the power sector, is a testimony to the capabilities of the El Sewedy company which is also present in many parts of Middle East and Africa. "Let us begin to deploy African solution to African problems. There is no rocket science in what we have done. In many parts of the world transformer manufacturing is part of a cottage industry and it should not be different in Lagos or any other parts of the country". "Regular and steady electricity remains the only missing infrastructure that is mitigating against the growth of the economy of this country and the actualization of the potentials of our people, their freedom from poverty and as long as we remain in Government here we commit to putting the misery of electricity behind us once and for all", the Governor said. Giving practical examples, Governor Fashola stated: "if you want to imagine how simple life would be with electricity, just think of how much extra you pay to grind pepper, how much extra you use to transport yourself, to get water supply and diesel to power your generator at home, you will realize that you will save more and be walking away from poverty with smiles on your face" The Governor was certain that the administration will put behind the issue of shortage of electricity noting that the administration had a solid foundation to build on from the pioneering role played by the immediate past administration in the state which led to the breakaway from the former National Electric Power Authority's monopoly by delivering the first Independent Power Project in the country. He explained that the present administration has followed on that first by delivering another Independent Power Project that has delivered 12megawatts to Adiyan and Akute waterworks as at today. The Governor informed that the administration has not stopped there but has put another IPP on stream which hopefully by the first quarter of 2011 would have delivered another 15 megawatts that would supply electricity to the whole of the Central Business District on the Lagos Island. Other benefiting areas according to the Governor would include the Lagos General Hospital, Island Maternity Hospital, State House, Lagos High Court and at least 30 streets which would be taken be off diesel power supply by the first quarter of next year. He said the successes of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration, in which he also served, has challenged the present Government to intervene in the area of power distribution since the availability of power logically brings up the issue of transmission, taking it to the roads with cables, transformers and meters. Governor Fashola said the next stage is to commit at least 20million US Dollars to the manufacture of meters and El Sewedy is interested in investing up to 100million Dollars in the generation of power. He said the unveiling of the power sector reform by the Federal Government will even make things easier in the sector and provide the opportunity for the State to make the investment. Commending the board and management of El Sewedy, Governor Fashola declared: "We will continue to work with you shoulder to shoulder to ensure that your partnership ideals and your investment intentions are realized for our mutual benefit and the benefit of our people". "What has happened here is a simple manifestation of what can happen when a Government has time to plan and to implement the plan. It can only happen in a democracy. The idea did not start today" In his words: "The first milestone is behind us. What was a dream has become a reality and it happened in less than two years. We are sure it is not rocket science. Our people are already employed here, not less than a 100 people are already working here". He reiterated that the produced transformers are already strengthening the rural electrification programme of the State Government with the entire request for transformers in the state to be purchased from the factory so that the money, the economy and the jobs would be kept locally. Governor Fashola said the factory and the whole economy of the area and even neighbours on the West coast of Africa will benefit from the infrastructure development which the State has committed to the area through many of the ongoing road projects like the Badagry Expressway and the Igbo Elerin road. In her welcome address, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Commerce and Industry, Mrs Sola Oworu said the completion of the project is another manifestation of the successful collaboration with the private sector in project implementation. He disclosed that the project is a joint venture between El Sewedy Group of Egypt(94.74%) and the Lagos State Government(5.26%) as equity contributions. Whilst congratulating the people of Badagry on the project, Mrs Oworu said coupled with the on-going expansion of the Lagos- Badagry Expressway, the culturally rich and historically relevant town has been positioned for unprecedented growth in commercial activities. Also speaking, the Chief Investment Officer of El Sewedy, Mr Mohammed Radwan said the successful completion of the project is an example of mutual cooperation and hardwork . He informed that the company is planning to invest about 100 million dollars in electricity generation through production of electric meters. Mr Radwan said El Sewedy enjoys over 70 years experience of producing quality energy products across the globe and does not consider itself as a foreigner anywhere in Africa. He was certain that the company is in Nigeria to provide job opportunities and transfer technology, explaining that the company saw the opportunity and accepted the challenge to do what it takes to achieve the determined goals. The Governor cut the tape to commission the factory before undertaking a guided tour of the facility with some of the dignitaries. Prominent among those who were present at the event were the Deputy Governor, Princess Sarah Adebisi Sosan, members of the State Executive Council, members of the Legislature at both the State and national levels, Chairmen of Local Government Council and Development Areas, traditional rulers like the Oba Akran of Badagry, Aholu Menu Toyi I, the Egyptian Charge D'Affaire, Sherif –Elleithy and other dignitaries.

This man could light up every corner of Nigeria in less than 4 years. Just imagine, all in less than 2 years with underground cable and distribution system. I'm happy for for the Lagos Island folks The next step is setting up the same system in every local government and getting rid of the National grid forever, All politics is local, never national/Abuja. |

Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by ektbear: 12:13am On May 24, 2011 |
Impressive. But why 40% diesel and not all gas? Just wondering. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by OAM4J: 12:30am On May 24, 2011 |
@topic Impressive. Fashola's standard. ekt_bear: Even though we have so much gas in Nigeria, it is not readily available as it seems and there are too many bureaucracies with the FG on those gas pipelines. The way to go is to be as much as possible independent of FG bureaucracies, all things being equal, we know we can get diesel readily at open market. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by ektbear: 12:42am On May 24, 2011 |
Hrm, wow. I wasn't even aware of this compressed natural gas technology before. . . .I thought the only way to make NG easily transportable is to use LNG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas @OAM4J: The gas pipeline infrastructure in Lagos is handled by Oando, at least according to the guy from Shell I spoke to on the phone some time ago. So it really isn't necessarily the government blocking the way. I guess what is happening is that the location of their 10 MW plant is too far away from the existing pipeline, and it isn't economical to have Oando extend it? That would be my guess. Because all other things equal, you'd prefer to use pure NG as your fuel source rather than diesel. Even this CNG is going to raise the costs relative to just NG. If anyone know the details of this project further and how they made these different design decisions, feel free to speak up. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by EkoIle1: 1:36am On May 24, 2011 |
Sadly and unfortunately, we have a weak, clueless and incompetent president running around issuing dumb and silly ultimatums instead of getting gritty and dirty with concrete solutions. I just don't get the ignorant rational behind GEJ's/PDP electoral support and victory, these clowns are responsible for and benefiting from all the ills afflicting our country, it's obviously not in their interest to do the right thing or to set in place any solution to counter their own interests and greed. The Nigerian electorates basically gave these looting bastard another 4 years free pass to rape us accordingly. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by Beaf: 1:48am On May 24, 2011 |
Fashola is an excellent governor, but 10MW is not much more than a few big generators can produce. Its still a great move though, cos it can always be expanded. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by aljharem3: 2:07am On May 24, 2011 |
Beaf: pls brother, what is GEJ doing about electricity pls tell us |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by EkoIle1: 2:24am On May 24, 2011 |
lol @ this swamp rat and a few big generators. The same same big generators is going to be saving lives, providing uninterrupted power supply to hospitals, government institutions, homes and streets in Lagos state, something our 50 year old country and your incompetent Aso Rock tin president kinfolk can not do or guarantee on behalf of any community in Nigeria. Guaranteeing uninterrupted power supply is a first in Nigeria and so it shall be remembered. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by Sharonf(f): 3:12am On May 24, 2011 |
This is good but dont get unrealistic expectations of the project. It will provide power to - 2 hospitals 2 courts the State house some Street lights. Be realistic |

Sharon_f: How much is all this going to cost the tax payer? And I hope there are EQUAL plans to have similar plants in other areas of the same state? |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by olyivy(f): 4:17am On May 24, 2011 |
Please Yoruba almajiris dont kill anybody yet. This power project (or big generator project) as ingenious and helpful as it will be (if completed) is not extensive and vast enough for some almajiri here to start castigaating the president who is handling a national power project. Fashola is smart, i tell ya. Hes got a way of taking popular projects that arent necessarily people oriented. |

I wish people would use their brains before posting. olyivy:Kindly explain to us what the practical difference between a "big generator" and power plant is (hint, there isn't any, really. Larger power plants are usually more efficient from a cost/W perspective. But ultimately if you can achieve competitive costs using a "big generator", then that is fine.) It is only the transmission grid that is really centralized. So this is a red herring on your part. Kindly explain to us how ensuring that hospitals have electricity 100% of the time rather than 35% of the time isn't people oriented. |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by OAM4J: 4:22am On May 24, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: Yes he said that much during the election debate. Amd most of the new street light projects in Lagos are solar driven NB Just noticed the post has been made already. Mariory: |
Re: Island Power Project (Lagos) To Generate 10MW by Kobojunkie: 4:24am On May 24, 2011 |
OAM4J: Said what much? Elections are over . . we are back to reality now and so my questions are not based on elections. |
