PHIPEX: Imagine if all the Presidents before GEJ added about 500MW to the national grid in their individual tenures, imagine where Nigeria would have been by now? It's funny we don't even have any past president we can compare GEJ with in term of development of the power sector, maybe that is why some people are comparing him to Iraq. . So how many Mega watts is Nigeria producing now?

Mr man,read that post properly .
Less than 12 months was enough for them to loot the equivalent of more than 25 geregus.
He started with the advantages of OBJ's ending
He started with a bank balance with significant reserves.
He drained the excess crude account with nothing to show for it.
Massive foreign exchange reserve.
A declining recurrent to capital ratio.
With all this advantages and bearing in mind how the excess crude account was depleted from $22 billion to almost 0 ,fuel subsidy fraud etc,
The nation should be talking about 20000MW today.
Like I said earlier ,I dare him to build only 5 geregus right now without borrowing .just like obj.continue living in darkness
I'm out.

He is commissioning other people's work.
Painting airports built by the so called clueless aboki.
The fuel subsidy heist Alone could have built at least 25 geregus and ended a lot of gas flaring .do the maths
25 x 414MW

that is over 10000MW .

When people call him mediocre,we know what we are talking.
Iraq whose power infrastructure was bombed out during the first and second gulf war has added/adding more than 10000MW SINCE THE WAR ENDED 2 yrs ago.
You are here defending an obviously mediocre president .
I wonder what project of national strategic significance he will commission once he exits the tail wind of OBJ's regime's fiscal prudence.

solomon111: pls tell me,how does the commissioning of a project prevent its privatization?

solomon111: OBJ tried?
Over $16billion spent during OBJ tenure and all he could achieve was a phantom "foundation"?
Remember that OBJ had 8 years to turn the electricity sector around.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves,OBJ was a monumental failure.

bloggernaija:
YOU CAN TELL THAT TO THE 160 MILLION MUMU
Who are you deceiving ?Obj initiated and fully paid for geregu,omotosho and 4 other power stations.
Construction of the civil engineering part was already complete before GEJ even smelt ado rock.the mechanical engr aspect which is the turbines had to be machined to specification and was ready before yar adua went comatose
Jonathan as usual is reaping where he did not sow.
This government,for those who offer criticism on issues is a calamity.
That is why he keeps borrowing for the most mundane of things.
Else
Let him initiate and pay for 5 power plants right now .

STOP PRESS

OBASANJO ACTUALLY COMPLETED THIS POWER PLANT .
UNCLE CLUELESS JOE IS ONLY DOING THE USUAL PAINTING AND GRASS CUTTING PROPAGANDA

Siemens Energy said it has received an order from Niger Delta Power Holding Company for construction of the Geregu II gas turbine power plant in Ajaokuta, about 200 kilometer south of Abuja. The order volume is approximately E230 million (about N43.24 billion).

The gas-fired power plant is scheduled to start commercial operation in late 2012.
Geregu II is a follow-up project to the Geregu I power plant, which Siemens built back in 2006. The company will supply three SGT5-2000E gas turbines, the electrical equipment and an SPPA-T3000 instrumentation and control system for the 434MW plant, which it will build as a turnkey project, the company said.
Michael Suess, CEO of the fossil power generation division of Siemens Energy, said: "After construction of the Afam and Geregu I power plants the order for Geregu II marks a further milestone for Siemens in Nigeria and in Africa. With the latest project the number of Siemens heavy-duty gas turbines in Nigeria will increase to eight."
The Geregu power plant, established under the National Independent Power Project, was among the plants inaugurated by former President Obasanjo shortly before he handed over power in 2007.Nigerian Geregu Gas Turbine Power Plant 1, the first brand new power plant funded and commissioned by his Obasanjo administration was built at a cost of euro 195m ($256 million ), it has the capacity to generate 414 megawatts of electric power.

God bless You for This, infact u couldnt have said it any better than This. I once visited the site during construction Works Under Obasanjo's régime. People should learn to verify information before coming online.

Symphony007: as much as i disaggree monumentally with jonathan, were do you think we would have been if obasanjo and yar adua were efficent? You can't blame all of nigeria's problem on a man who has been in office for 3 years as opposed to 8 years of obasanjo and 3 years of yar adua and all the wasted years of the military.

P/s: i can't belive i'm defending GEJ.

whitecat007: Jonathan should stop taking credit for other people's work

Brimmie: Mumu NTA, Channels dey report Plane Crash.. this Yeye Station dey show rubbish commission!

Biafra diplomat: [/s]

Absolute trash by a frustrated sadist, GEJ is performing and yet you're wining for the wrong reasons, SHAME ON YOU!

Symphony007: Can any jonathan supporter who have commented on this thread, tell me anything they disagree with him on?

theoctopus:

Let me obliged you and assume for once that you are sincere and that you didnt take 6 bottles of your usual, lol

1. There is no one I have ever seen or read that have said GEJ is perfect and never makes mistakes.

2. There is no policy of government anywhere in the world, no matter how laudable, that doesnt have a short coming. Even landing in the moon came with short comings and there where those who criticized the crazy amount America spent just to land on the moon that has no significant benefit so far for mankind

But when you open a thread and the first thing you type are insults upon insult on GEJ, why do you expect anyone to take you serious? If you see a government policy or action and you think there are issues that need to be addressed, then by all means, we can discuss it. But here is a short list of what GEJ has done and your corresponding responses:

GEJ's achievements Your responses

1. FOI bill signed into law: It is not our immediate problem! They are deceiving us! Is that what we need now? It is fake!

2. Rails being revamp and trains working again: What kind of outdated trains are these. They must have spent 1 trillion! They are deceiving us!

3. Airports remodelled and commisioned: Is airport our problem? It is a lie, show us pictures! The pictures are photoshoped! It looks like a bicycle park in the USA

4. 100s of Almajiri schools built: It is a lie! Is that our problem? Why didnt he built model schools for them?

5. No more fertilizer fraud in the agric sector: They are lying to us! We dont need fertilizer, we need jobs!

bolseas: Please don't blame OBJ....blame Yaradua. he was the one who frustrated the project and other NIPProjects.

Symphony007: So you all know that i'm not a bitter, constant persimist or jonathan hated. I am currently watching the commissioning of the geregu power station in kogi by pres. Jonathan. It is quite an impressive facility and will no doubt give a boost to our power situation. When good things happen in our country, we should be glad but constructive critisim should not be looked upon as being anti-jonathan.

You can watch it live on NTA or AIT.

awodman: Omotosho which is a 500MW plant will be commissioned on October 19th

okpara ugo: I passed through Ajaokuta today, the place was glorious. Let me put it that way.

To be president no be moi moi. Geregu good to go. But one company don buy the plant, i no know the name sef...

Hearme:

You did not inform them of debt cancellation pushed for by OBJ. Nigeria no longer service her 34billion dollars debt and does not have to pay it. Yet this new government is accumulating new debts all over the world and depleting our reserves with little to show for it. it is even getting hard for government to pay salaries (SSANU, NASU, PHCN and others). Soldiers and police received their Aug salaries 2nd week in Sept.

Last friday, Wike said it was an error in that SSANU salaries has now been paid. Except they will pay it this night that is when I will be wrong. The same lie they told us they have settled all PHCN staff, now they are saying they are yet to pay 38,000 people out of 45,000. Who is deceiving who in this IT age. I think they should come out and tell Nigerians what is wrong. The last time the Minster of finance said Nigeria was broke and might find it difficult to pay salaries, na so so summon National Assembly they give am.

I think my guess and yours might just right, because Labaran Maku also said of recent that government will short down if they are to meet ASUU request. They should say the truth ooooooooooooooooo. Or is it 2015 election money chop chop things.
