Finally, the successor PHCN companies will be handed over to private investors next week, marking the end of a privatisation process that started in 2010 with the launch of power road map. That is history in the making and I cant wait to witness it.

Meanwhile, considering the fact that PHCN workers are in holiday/retirement mood at this transition period, how is power situation in your area?

Poor! Very very poor!
I haven't seen it this bad in a while.

I stay in the very heart of Uyo the capital of Akwaibom state, I also work in the heart of the town. The last time I saw Phcn was on tuesday morning, early morning, its the 3rd day today. Both at work and at home

Same with here too. Sincerely speaking, public power supply has never been this bad in this part of Enugu. For about 2 weeks, its been really bad. It seems Enugu PHCN is in coma or maybe they'r too busy counting millions in retirement benefits.

Ifeanyichukwu, i can remember how i complained bitterly on nairaland about the feeder which was left incomplete after a long time in the area where i live . The feeder was left unattended to because of corruption in the power sector. Because the feeder was left incomplete, my estate and it's Environ had electricity rationed and we get electricity supply 8hrs in two days. This has been going on for 17 phucking years without anyway to solve it.

Now, i am so happy because the season of rationing electricity is over! The feeder is working perfectly and light has improved well. I heard also that my estate share the same feeder with LASU. I don't know how true it is,all the same, am happy for the improvement of electricity in my area.

Should i say GEJ is working?

Since Friday power supply has been unstable. I understand that there has been some form of maintainance and stuff.

Anyway I can't wait to experience a stable power regime

Dr. GEJ thank you.

As for that Aboki ex general in Katsina state chewing gworo, I'm sure he must be bitter about the handing over..... We all know who the idiot is.....

Berem understand better

Light has been so-so.......

I had power last while going out on Monday morning and today is Thursday. I live in Lagos. Can't wait for these investors to perform their much-expected miracle.

Can you scream FRESH AIR for the first time in your life? If you dont nemesis will catch up with you again.

30 minutes since morning

been wondering why there's been no power supply for the past 2 days

I have always tried to explain the multidimensional process of power on this forum. Even if the FG is producing 50, 000 MW, if the transformer in your area is bad, you will not get a single ray of light. That is why some of the complains made on this forum is very subjective. A lot has been achieved in improving the generation and transmission, but until next week when the DISCOs take over, we will not really be able to enjoy the improvements that have been made. The reason is that the current workers in your area are grossly incompetent and totally uncommitted. They just simply do not care. Many areas have since seen a lot of improvement. In my area, we have gone from 3 hours in 2 days to at least 12hours daily. But I know we can only really attain stability when the new companies fully kick in

Power in enugu has been really bad for like 2 weeks now

Its bin really bad, I hope this full under d "bad now, get better later" deal cos d private investors will need a miracle to change electricity in Nigeria.

Ever fluctuating.

gerald09: Its bin really bad, I hope this full under d "bad now, get better later" deal cos d private investors will need a miracle to change electricity in Nigeria.

They dont need a miracle to change anything. Most of the infrastructure needed is available. The problem is simply that the present PHCN guys are wicked and do not care. DO you recall that the former power minister, during one of his inspections, discovered over 200 transformers that were being hoarded by the PHCN staff? Those are examples of things that will change when they take over

We've been having it so good for a while now that we even forgot how a gen set sounds like.
Though, it's been erratic for some days now it's still a far cry from what we use to experience.

saw light these morning.but havnt seen light since these evening.

Nothing has changed..still the same rationing because of the state of our transformer

Power can get better but for now its so so. There was this day we had power for 24 hours literally but after that it went back to same ol same ol. The question we keep asking is if Nigerians are ready to pay for steady power especially those who illegally connect their premises?

It has been really pathetic in onitsha and environs.Lets see if the jinx will be broken.I reserve further comments till then.

worse is an understatement

Good cos I hardly use my gen these days but hope it will be better under the new private investors.

But the N750. monthly service charge is still a fraud that need to be reduced or scrapped.

Well, i just checked PHCN's sub station (which is visible from ma balcony) and they also DONT HAVE LIGHT.... Hope all is well

I saw PHCN light last on Monday!! - kano

Ijaw drunkard? Its better to be an Ijaw drunkard that to be a bloody terrorist which you and your principal(Buhari) represent.

Enjoy the FRESH AIR

No Vacancy in Aso Rock

no light in ada George Nta road axis.....singing ....someone please call 911...

Currently in Ilorin, precisely GRA, light has been a bit epileptic for the past one week, however it was confirmed here over the local radio that the saboteurs are at work at various Transformers! Definitely after the exercise light will be more reliable as it was before!

i stay in lekki. in the past month, i have not had up to 5 hours of nepa.
power will improve with the new disco simply because, the current power outrage is deliberate, the new guys will just switch on and start to exploit us.
can someone please explain why there was a hugh improvement during barth nnaji era and immediately, he left, power became a privilege.

It's improved tremendously since the turn of the year. I haven't had to use the generator set since January. When there are power outages, I'm content to just ride out the outages in the knowledge that power would be restored in due time. Anybody who lives is Anthony Village and environs within Lagos should be able to confirm this.
