YES but it would take time you may not be alive to use it. |

Yes, if we stop the issue of national grid and build power plants for each state or region. Source for the cheap raw materials for each zone or state according to the materials available. Eg, solar based power for the core North with thermal based plants too. Gas plant for the south That are closer to gas zone. 5 Likes |

Sure. But that area needs to be decentralized. Sane countries allow consumers to make choices, in naija case, how much electricity people get is imposed on the populace. If opportunities to revamp the electricity industry in Nigeria is open for bids from firms all over the world, and a transparent contract award process is followed, Nigeria can have 24/7 electricity in a matter of years. In our case, we already know sensitive and costly projects like that would go to cronies of the same old people we already know. They will end up taking the contract money, and throw one old transformer in the middle of Kainji dam and mark the project as complete. What do we expect from a nation led by selfish, dumb and blind old people? 5 Likes |

Power supply problem in Nigeria is Multifaceted. 1. Generator importers don't work it solve. 2.Gas(Petrol) seller don't want it solve. 3. Think about the immediate effect of constant Power supply on the finance of Generator technician's 4. Think of the CORRUPTION factor. 5. The staff don't want it to work (why won't they supply prepaid meters) 6. Think about the Nigeria Factor. ...#ProblemAreMeantToBeSolved. 8 Likes 1 Share |

To achieve this, the income of an average Nigerian will be high, because a stable electricity means a higher bill.... If we are to get 24/7 electricity, then each house must be ready to pay 30,000 monthly..... 2 Likes 1 Share |

yes it is very possible places like bonny already enjoys steady electricity supply having one of the best gas plants in Africa,personally I think Nigeria has come of age to use cleaner sources of energy like wind turbines,solar panels,etc but this sources of power are very few in the country and only available to those who can afford them |

Baawaa: It is shortsighted. We should give like 30yrs, all things being equal. Do know that if the country genarates 20,000MW of electricity in the next 5yrs, there is no available structure to evacuate and distribute same. We are in a very big problem in this country. |

It will be possible if Otedola should diversify his business from solely diesel importation and if morapco, jubaili And co, should decide to sell alternative power generators like solar panels and wind turbines, if not even the mighty prof Nnaji will not achieve such fit. In other words politics and excessive greed won't let it happen. GEJ and prof Nnaji were up to something but made a huge mistake by selling gencos and discos to political cronies. |

It is possible, but with appropriate approach,right & experienced people in place.Decentralizing the grid, local mini power plants for some remote areas, e.g. Nothing is wrong with osun state using 45 megawatts lying waste at osogbo steel mill, which is enough for even osun & its environ towns. Least to say. 2 Likes |

I honestly thing independent power generation per state should be the solution to Nigeria's power problem. I mean would an entire country rely on just some dam? 1 Like |
Re: Is Steady Electricity Possible In Nigeria? by Etern: 8:38am On Jul 02, 2016 |
It can be done in 4 years! If they decide to use gas turbines. Civil works for power plant can be done in 6 months. Placing of order for turbines and actual delivery ~2 years. It should be cited near existing infrastructure. Simultaneously upgrading of the major transmission lines. It will take longer if they decide to use other technology like coal etc. We have gas in abundance but political vandals will not allow constant supply. 1 Like |

ExposingZombies: Lol They refuse to restructure the polity that throws out near-dogs as leaders, yet they want miracles, perhaps from God to bring constant electricity in Nigeria. By refusing to pressure to restructure the polity, which makes politicians want to continue to smile to the banks with oil money, Witt little or no account for the masses, Nigerians chose to remain without electricity for many more decades to come. You can't eat your cake and have it. Go buy generator before you call me IPOB. 1 Like |
Re: Is Steady Electricity Possible In Nigeria? by lonelydora: 8:38am On Jul 02, 2016 |
Very possible. Power is wasting in all the industries in Nigeria. Indorama in Eleme have about 6 gas turbines capable of supplying power to Port Harcourt and environ , and one is what they use at a time, five on standby. Notore have 2 gas turbines, also one on standby. I can go on and name many companies like Shell, NLNG , Agip, Total, etc. Fully privatize these Power industry and allow them to sell the power, you will see how Nigeria will turn overnight. Let's us go back to the old ways of power generation and transmission and forget about this National grid thing. Our leaders should not be selfish and pump in money for equipment upgrade to most power generation and transmission companies. It is very possible if only we can be truthful to ourselves. 3 Likes |
