taharqa: GEJ is right about now in Kogi to commission a 456MW Geregu II Power Plant which he built from scratch in about 3 years, part of 10 new Power Plants already built (a few almost completing) which wud provide a total of about 5000MW within d same period- this is apart d many Substations and thousands of kms of Transmission/Distributions Lines bn built across d nation; whilst, Fashola is commissioning very BIG Diesel Generators that wud light up only a few Govt offices and adjourning Street Lights!! And this even when d only reason Oga Fash is building these Big Generators- less than 10MW if am not mistaken- (which is a good thing by d way) is cos a certain GEJ has painstakingly undertaken the very complex job of Reforming/Liberalising d Power Market and implementing d Power Electricity Act (as acknowledged by Fashola here) as well as the fact that a large chunck of d money d LASG used in funding these mini power plants came from d CBN's #300bn Power/Aviation Fund set up by GEJ..... Oh, Yea! We know who d Action man and d Noisemaker (if there is any) wud be.... You, my frnd, are reali 'caseless'.

While waiting for the discos, gencos and the transmission company of nigeria to improve our generation capacity, does it not make sense to set up gas turbines of between 1MW - 30MW for housing estates, industrial sites, government clusters etc?

casiraghi: • GEREGU power plant was initiated by OBJ

I know your type, pretty much useless with family issues, trying to take out the hatred you grew up with on others.

Afolabs101:

1- The NIPP's that you're talking about (including Geregu II) were conceived and started by the Obasanjo administration. It was stopped during Yar'adua's time over investigations into their cost.

2- Lagos State government are building Independent Power Plants that run on GAS o not DIESEL. If all of Lagos State sites are placed in clusters and powered by gas turbines, the state government's energy cost will be greatly reduced which means a reduction in the cost of governance in Lagos.

3- The Electric Power Sector Reform Act was signed into law by OBJ in 2005. This is the law that allowed for the privatisation of NEPA/PHCN and this law also allows for off-grid power generation and distribution. SO it is this law that allows Lagos state to build their power plants and come off grid.

4- While waiting for the discos, gencos and the transmission company of nigeria to improve our generation capacity, does it not make sense to set up gas turbines of between 1MW - 30MW for housing estates, industrial sites, government clusters etc?

FYI, we're clamouring for a true fedralism, and there is no better way to test-run it than how fashola is doing.

Keep praising yourselves, ode. Anambra power is almost 24/7, new power plant was just commissioned in aba few weeks ago. Enough of all these stupid tribal sentiments, at least you can't chase me away from southwest and I can't chase yorubas in southeast.

bodmasfem:

is that not the way they have been commissioning power plant towards election period but power situation continues to be bad? the last time I checked, power generation is still below 3000MW as at today, so what are u saying?

taharqa: GereguII was NOT started under OBJ; its construction started unda GEJ (see comment above).... The very Complex Implementation of the Power Electricity Bill practically started (except perhaps for d unbundling of PHCN ) unda GEJ in 2010/2011; Up to early 2012 for instance, no State Govt cud distribute any electricity even if it produces it.... Some of those mini Plants/Generators the LASG are building are evidently Gas-based, while sm are Diesel-based (and as I said, d programme is commendable)...... PS: I very generously acknowledge d very positive role played by OBJ in d Power Sector, particularly in his initiatives; but Assert that Virtuali all d Implementation (as well as sm other few initiatives) is been done by GEJ. It is GEJ that SAVED d Power Reform process and did/doing most of d work (Yar'adua for instance, not only didn't do almost nothing but in fact succeeded in initialing derailing it); any attempt to argue otherwise is what is been frowned on

herbdull: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said the state energy reform initiatives are yielding positive result with the state close to being self-sufficient in its power needs.
To this end, he said some public institutions were being moved out of the national grid and connected to the power being generated from the power plants built by the state government.
Fashola, according to a report yesterday by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), spoke during his engagement with a spectrum of residents and the Diaspora community on the social media platform, Google Plus Hangout.
The session was part of the build-up activities to mark October as the Energy Conservation Month, declared by the state government to sensitise residents on the importance of energy conservation and efficient use of available power.
The governor who answered questions from participants, said the objective of de-connecting some public institutions from the national grid and connecting them to the state power infrastructure was to ensure 24-hour uninterrupted power supply so that they could be more efficient in the delivery of services.
He said: “Working within what the Power Sector Reform Act permits, we are gradually entering self generation in Lagos State through our independent power plants. As you may be aware, we have an IPP at Akute and the Island Power Plant. In a few days, we shall be commissioning the Alausa Power Plant. Once this is done, government offices will be taken off the supply from the national grid and the power which we no longer need will be made available to Lagosians.”
The Google Plus Hangout was hosted by popular music rapper and Lagos State Energy Ambassador, Mr. Jude Abaga (M.I).
He was joined by five ‘Power Kids’ from Iju Senior Secondary School led by Master Gideon Osadare and Dimeji Lawal-Are, a 500-level Computer Science student, University of Lagos, leading four others from some tertiary institutions in the state.

OBJ initiated built all the power plants GEJ is commissioning from AFAM to Omotosho, Olorunshogo, Geregu, Papalanto.


Lagos and federal power projects are 2 different things like apples and oranges.

FG power plants MWs have little or no effect on Nigerians because everything is fed into the inefficient and almost obsolete national grid while Lagos state is targeting specific areas with it's power plants which means Lagos state can provide uninterrupted power supply to many areas of the state while the FG with all it's power infrastructure can not to anyplace or any soul in Nigeria uninterrupted power supply. Spot the difference, it's easy....

Lagos state is running circles around the FG and their disgraceful power policies and it takes skills, dedication and creativity to do all that.

You are another sad evidence of GEJ's failure and incompetency...

Its the most backward? Hatred will not kill you. If its the most backward then why are you studying there? Well most parts of Anambra (major parts) have considerable constant power. If u like knock yourself out.

For a president whose past claims on achievements, particularly about power supply had all turned out fictitious, and were roundly refuted by Nigerians, his remarks about Anambra state immediately stirred swift reactions from Nigerians.

A respondent, Oraneto Ndubuisi, affirmed, “For real, four weeks now”, while another, Toby Obaji, interjected, “Wait a minute, are you guys trying to say three hours or three weeks. Well, if its three hours …yes, sometimes. If you actually mean three weeks, then it’s not this Awka, might be the Awka in Japan.”
