Some of you Ignorance is scary.

You didn't even know when Siemens carry out the project in Egypt, but you are here displaying your ignorance.

so what we have in Nigeria is what we should be proud of?? some people self.. even Buhari body language is telling us he knows he has failed Nigerians

Reflect7:


Honestly. He didn't even bother to Google up the starting year of the Egypt Siemens project - a mere 20 second task!

It's like many of our youths have Low IQ nowadays.

The 'covid' thing stopped everything in 2020 and 2021, project-wise. World over, not just in Nigeria.

Or you can't remember that everywhere was under lockdown?

Most of this Obi supporters are Ignorant and dumb.

Nah so one idiot dey follow me argue say Eko Atlantic City has nothing to do with the Lagos State Government and Tinubu.

Stop giving excuses for a government that can't defend itself. A govt that has been in power for seven years, and you're using covid 19 as an excuse. Even Northerners know Buhari is a failure.

Reflect7:


Use your brain before typing. The Siemens contract was awarded in 2020, shortly before the covid crisis exploded. International commerce, including shipments of equipment etc, were halted across the world, and we are only just recovering from it. How in the hell do you expect any results by now? Do you now what it takes to upgrade a national grid?

Reflect7:


Are you serious?

Damn.

mycar:

Do I know what it takes? Yes, In Nigeria, it takes eternity, while it's not so in some other countries, and even an infant will tell you, if you can't improve my life, please do not make it worse. When Jonathan administration was handling power project, we could see the Significant improvement in Power but in this one, the reverse is the case. and when someone tries to find out what could be going wrong, you'd rather everybody should stand akimbo and watch things get out control.
No justification for laziness and ignorant.
You have to seek knowledge, no limit to extent you can go for knowledge, we have schools and our people still study abroad even when we have some of those foreign owned schools here.

The Siemens project began in Egypt in 2015, and was completed just as the covid crisis was about to start in 2020.

The Siemens contract was awarded in 2020 by the Buhari administration, a full 5 years after, just as the covid crisis was about to start.

Expecting the two projects to come on stream at the same time is the very height of lunacy.

Many of you are so ignorant and loud at the same time.

Reflect7:


Shut up. What would YOU have done? In 2015 when Buhari came to power, oil prices had just crashed, with world recession looming. After PDP's looting, the govt was in a cash-strapped situation, and had to spend on priorities. The Siemens deal was probably not feasible while they operated in Egypt. So what would YOU have done? Do you even know what Siemens are here to do? Ignorant dullards with loud mouths only good to criticise. Most of you don't know anything, so just shut up!!!

I thought it was signed in 2019 cus I could remember All of us getting happy by then....but all the excuses does take away the deal failure we had since beginning of 2021 to start getting if we are ready but I think the deal is another audio project

Dangote which is another big project was not delayed much like the power project that has never start in 2022 when it was to delivered in 2023.....or are they planning to use that to campaign in 2023

Peter Obi: SIEMENS Is Doing In Nigeria What it Did In Egypt. Your Trip Was A Waste

I don't know what Peter Obi went to do in Egypt when the very same programme the Egyptians gave Siemens to implement to boost their power generation by 20,000 mw in 6 years is the EXACT SAME project being undertaken in Nigeria courtesy of the Buhari administration. It began in 2020, and was slowed down by the 'pandemic', so it's obviously way too early to judge the results of the $2 billion contract.

I think Obi's trip to Egypt was unnecessary.

The thing he was looking for in Sokoto is in his Shokoto trousers.


Siemens deal ongoing with 7000mw projects, network expansion, FG says

THE Federal government has said the Siemens deal that it entered with the German government in 2020 is still on course and already bearing fruits.

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, gave this information while giving updates on the deal at the NEXIER power dialogue held late Tuesday, June 14, 2022 in Abuja.

Aliyu said, “Recently, I travelled to Germany to inspect the manufacture and equipment we have made orders for as part of the deal. The equipment will be coming in from September, October, November and December.

“The equipment include 10 mobile sub-stations and 10 Unitra transformers. We have got approval from the Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE) to proceed on necessary procurements and we are evaluating the offers, which will soon get to the Federal Executive Council for approval.

“A lot is being done also to raise the operational capacity of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry,” the minister said.

THE ICIR had reported that German company, SIEMENS AG, had launched a 25,000-megawatt Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) to revamp Nigeria’s power sector.

“Siemens Nigeria and the federal government in 2020 entered into a power infrastructure revamp agreement. It is a government to government agreement,” Aliyu stated.

The deal with Siemens, the minister explained, aims to increase Nigeria’s electricity generation to 25,000mw in six years.

The $2 billion Siemens deal is structured in three phases: to take the country’s grid operational capacity from less than 5,000mw to 7000mw by 2021; increase the capacity to 11,000mw by 2023 and achieve total operational generation and national grid capacity to 25,000mw by 2025. It is expected to save Nigeria over $1bn annually.

“I am pleased to announce that we have begun implementation of the Siemens PPI with the purchase of 10 mobile transformers and 10 sub-stations. The pre-engineering segment of the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) contract is complete and we expect contract offers on 127 Transmission and Distribution projects (Brownfield and Greenfield) from Siemens,” Aliyu stated.

He also said that for better utilisation of energy generated on the national grid, the Federal government had many key grid initiatives, with more than N125.2 billion budgeted between 2015 and 2021 for TCN and Development Finance Funding through the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB), French Development Agency (AFD), Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and others of up to $1.7bn.

He added that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was also funding $250m for the rehabilitation of critical interfaces between transmission and distribution to increase and stabilize power delivery. Additionally, through the Siemens PPI, the Nigerian government is bringing $2bn or more to the transmission grid.

“This is almost $4 billion secured by this administration to augment the grid. It should be noted that many of these funds are being actively spent and the results will be felt over time. We are working tirelessly to ensure that all of these investments translate to incremental delivered power.

“There are 135 ongoing projects for transmission lines, sub-stations and other associated grid infrastructures. The TCN has completed 30 key sub-station projects and 12 important transmission lines,” he noted.

Aliyu listed some of the projects to include the resuscitation of the second Egbin-Ajah Transmission Line, the recently commissioned NDPHC Lafia 2X150mva & 2X60 /132/33/330kv transmission sub-station (under NIPP), the 330kv Quad Lines from Alaoji to Onitsha and Delta Power Station to Benin, as well as the Kano to Katsina 330kv line. There is also the Lagos/Ogun Transmission Infrastructure Project under JICA funding.

He also said that the Federal government, through the CBN intervention for Transmission-Distribution interfaces, had awarded more than 30 sub-station rehabilitation contracts and done 1,570mva transformer capacity upgrades, with 34 critical transformers to be installed or replaced.

“Our investments have improved stability of the grid through the efforts of our System Operator (under TCN). Under this administration, grid stability has drastically improved: in 2021 the nation had only two adverse grid events (partial or full collapses of the grid). Compare this to a peak of 42 events in 2010 and greater than 10 events every year before 2020,” he said....

VoteTinubu2023:


There is already a clear cut plan on power generation by PMB's government.

As usual, the Pandora tax haven fraud wanted to act like he's seeking a new pathway for power generation. Since he came back, he hasn't given a blueprint on the rubbish he learnt in Egypt in 3 days.

He hasn't given the total amount that will be needed for the Egypt model power generation system.

He hasn't told us how long it will take to execute.

He also hasn't told us if we have the needed infrastructure to even emulate such system.

But his ignorant followers do not care.



Vote TINUBU 2023. Vote APC.

What a load of rubbish.

This garbage is not worthy of a response.

SUPERMAN, I'm sure if you had contracted Siemens to do the 6 year project as president, the project would have been completed in less than one year, or in under a month.

Ignorant dullards with wasted education.

Stop being stupid. The covid lockdowns only ended a few months ago, not in 2020.

In 2021, all of Europe and the USA were in lockdown, and industries and firms limited their activities severely, restricting their workforces to home based work. It was in 2022 that any sort of recovery began in the world economy.

My friend the government is Lying to you. There is a Video online where Chimamanda asked the Chancellor of Germany what happened to siemens deal and she said its been abandoned because of lack of funding. Please look it up.
