Ode. You need power and uninterrupted power supply to pump out water non stop. No power, no water.

The blame for your water nonsense still belongs to your federal government...

phantom: interesting...so the people that built the water project couldnt build power plants to supply power to the water pumps...funny people! Blame your own inefficiencies on the federal govt.very convenient.you spend billions to build water projects but conveniently forget to power it...clowns!

boron10: Private company is the way forward, although there is the possibility of paying through our nose within the first few years of their taking over the distribution of power.

ZUBY77: Dear Lagos state,
The federal govt is trying to privatize these things for effective management. Why would it sell it to another govt establishment?
Govt regimes are bound to change every four or eight years in every state. How do you plan to transit from the current govt to the future one especially when it comes to these structures. No, we want it in the hands of individual companies .

I will not be surprised when the bigots turn this into ACN vs PDP

ramaju: I know the plan. Sell it to Lagos State and Tinubu will buy it from them at high discounted low price.

Okija_juju:

Actually, Rivers State government is building alot of sub-stations in preparation for an aggressive move to remove Rivers State from the National grid.

@ Topic: I dont think it is wise for Lagos State government to buy any distribution companies.. Even the issue of the National Theatre sef, Fashola should remember that he would not be in power forever. He may be full of zeal and will but I doubt we would be able to say that for his successor. Rather than clamour to buy it outright, a system whereby a 40/60 ownership can be arranged with a private firm would be good. maybe even sell shares and stuff like that. But whatever it is, I don’t want Government to be involved in anything other than administrative work.

where are the new sub stations situated in Rivers state??

tspun: instead of calling a meetin with all d governors to takle d issue of power u want to fight fed govt alone bcus u think u r too special. Rubish

Are you talking about micro or macro generation scales because the only advatage solar power has is scale (you can generate any amount of power you wish). The downsides are just too many. If it was that attractive carbon-fuels, nuclear and other renewables will have gone extinct by now.

lonamy: There are so many reasons why this country cannot stay together or we go to confederation system of Government.
The growth rate of the 3 major regions of the Africa most populous nation has been Hampered as a result of issues like this.

The South west could have grown to the level of United kingdom if it had been allowed to runs her own economy independent of the central government and that could have also spured the other regions to copy what will be happening in the south west to also develop. But putting all the power in the centre under the control of a coconut headed monkey will not lead this country to anywhere.

Lagos state is a mini Nigeria on her own, she is the home for over 20,000,000 heterogeous cultural background and origin. She provides support for the economic activities of other states in the country. If Lagos state is not contributing money to the central government and she is allowed to use all her IGR and other source of funds, it would have become a paradise in Nigeria, if only she is administered by technocrats like Fashola. But the percentage that Lagos state is contributing is share with all those BOKO HARAM states.

Only if the sycophants that surround GEJ knows the importance of Lagos state and her role in the national economy and development, and these disgruntled politicians are devoid of partisan politics, they would have allowed Lagos state to 100% generate her electricity. The Nigerian economic growths starts from Lagos state.
