its a step by step process, hopefully it'll spread to other major cities in the country if the right platforms are put in place by the Change Agents...

If each state can be allowed to generate and supply its own electricity; it would help alleviate this epileptic power failure

Obunagha and Gbarantoru communities in Bayelsa enjoy far more than Bonny, courtesy of SHELL.

OP, you didn't tell us the source of this constant power supply in Bonny. Is it solar, gas, windmill or something else?

Cos personally for that town to enjoy 24/7 power supply, I don't think they are connected to the national electricity grid in the country. Maybe its an independent source.

Bonny Island is currently ruled by His Royal Majesty, King Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple III, CON, JP Perekule XI who succeeded the throne from his father and till date runs the Kingdom. The island is richly blessed with multi-national companies which includes NLNG, Shell, Fougeroule and a host of others too numerous to mention. Maybe that must be the reason the island has always been a window to the acceptance of many foreigners from across other, L.G.A’s, States and nations.
One amazing fact about this island is it’s connection to the Atlantic ocean which makes it easy for all kinds of marine trades to take place. But there are some mysterious facts cloning around this island which tickles my imagination a lot, and this is the fact that the island is very much below sea level but never for one day have their been any crisis like flooding. It seems surprising, but it is just real like the skies above. Too many people troop into the island because of the availability of uninterrupted power supply and other basic social amenities. Infact, a black out in Bonny Island seems strange to all her inhabitants due to the fact that they have been used to steady power supply right from the period the companies engaged in meaningful decision to make it that way.
I had a pleasant time of stay during my visit to bonny. Which this could be replicated across the country

Bonny is owned by foreigners. The villagers there suffers like we do. No entrance is allowed by uninvited guest into the main city.

Bonny could ring a bell in the ears of many as the town where the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas(NLNG) plant is situated, but for those who do not know, it is an island by the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and one of the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, as well as home to the newly a established Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas.

The most remarkable thing about this town is that there is never power failure!
Yes, you heard well; Bonny residents enjoy 24/7 electricity supply all year round!

In my two-years stay in the town so far, the total time of power outage is less than 6 hours. Such outages are usually due to routine maintenance by the BUC(Bonny Utility Company). The residents hardly know how much kerosene or cooking gas sells for because they cook with electric cookers and power availability is guaranteed for their daily cookings.

My question is: if this could work in Bonny, can't this model be studied and replicated in other parts of Nigeria?
