Firstly did you include the PRIVATELY generated power in Lagos and the other 35 states?

Secondly, Lagos has been doing many IPPs with plenty media hype and propaganda since 2000 i.e. 15 years ago under APC yet it cannot provide 24 hr electricity!

This is why the loud mouth governor of Lagos State, Gov. Fashola should be given the minister for power for him to give Nigerians stable power supply in ten months as he promised.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.

Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.

He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”

Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.

Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power.


Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security.

The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts.

This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state.

The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state.

On his part, the State Commissioner in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition was about continuity in public infrastructure programme of the state government

APC will surprise the South South and the company that build,repair and destroys this pipelines in the name of sabotage.
They're lots of means of generating energy so please don't do something that will make or affect employment and development in your area.

Installed capacity of 5,500MW is what they have achieved but actual generation is still far below that.

[/s]

Don't say what u don't know. Installed capacity is above 8500MW.

The hitting of 5500MW was celebrated last week. Will look for d report. The power generation has been hovering between 3000 to 5000 MW. With more gas powered plant Nigeria can hit 20000MW in a year only when gas supply is constant and pipeline vandalism stops.

Most vandals don't know which pipeline carries Oil or gas.

Thums up for the outgoing administration, we just hope that the incoming regime will sustain the momentum, especially in ensuring that the various DISCOs invest in the required distribution infrastructure so that the final consumer can feel the impact of all these megawatts being generated. God bless Nigeria.

It Is possible but the generated electricity is not evenly distributed. I get close to 20 hours of Electricity in my office daily but sometimes I don't get 5 hours of electricity at Home, more need to be done concerning generating and even distribution.

The problem is discos would rather give light to offices and industries where they are sure of recooping their money fast than residential areas where collection of revenue is hard.

All the same, We await d new govt to see d magic they can do.

Power issue has rotten to d level that it will take long time to start seeing d improvement being made by goat.

Lagos aint 16 - 20 million people ooo, how u count am...

With less than 40k megawatts, d whole nation will have constant power, we will now need extras for industries ...

But BTW , lemme tell u something , 1k megawatt plant costs about 4 - 5 billion dollars.......ur national budget is about 22 billion dollars which can only build up 4k megawatts. stop dreaming about 10k - 20k megawatt before 2019...
