Until money changes hands, this is not news at all.
A memorandum of understanding is not even a contract. It's nothing.

I like anything progressive and should be commended.

However, my instinct tells me that this particular 'mou/deal' was done because of affinity between Yar A'dull  and Germany especially since this is where he goes everywhere he need medical treatment.

Where is our comprehensive energy policy. This is 6500MW at best to be ready in 2020. That is 12 years from here.

Even if we just grow at a small percentage population wise, that 6500mw will just be 'growth factor'

What happen to the public enquiry that takes several weeks and 100 days declaration of emergency which took over 365days.

This president have not got any handle on running this country properly. he exhibit all the hallmark of people before him, visionless and he goes further, clueless.

He has spent over 15months and I, for one cannot see any direction.

Power need a comprehensive analysis, of what we have, what we need and how we are going to pay for it and finally how we are going to let the private sector run it as a proper business.

Government has no business in business especially with our track record.

This is another example of lack of clue on Long term national planning.

Apart from corruption, power/energy/electricity is our major problem that will take our economy to the next level. Until there is clarity of purpose and ordinary person on the street can understand it, we may just be pouring water inside a woven basket. I suspect some of the officials with their own hidden agenda are simply encouraging the President to do something without thinking through longtime.

**Cough*** the 15 Months in office where spent "PLANNING" For Nigeria 2020 dream _{(a plan which is likely to be scrapped by the next administration, and so on and so forth)} .

The great planners. . .

We just love to spin in circles. . . ''Illusion 2020'' .We've heard it all before. Please give us ''Reality 2008/2009''

REALITY 2008/2009   and 10 years national plan is what we need

and not this Illusion 2020 soundbite.

So, Mr yar A'dull want to give us  6,500MW in 2020 when we need at least 50,000MW right away. I am very convinced that this PDP failure of

[b]P[/b]eople [b]D[/b]estruction [b]P[/b]arty manifesto will continue.
