We could have been enjoying better power supply since 2003 but the equipment was stored deliberately to keep us in darkness buying generators and diesel! No wonder Barth Nnaji said what he said! Jesus Christ! shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked
A Logistics expert and consultant to Ministry of power Mr. Emmanuel Nweke has said that the recently released 248 containers of power equipment will no doubt boost supply of electricity across the country.
Electricity-new
Disclosing this to newsmen in Lagos, Nweke lamented the delay of the power equipment in the port , adding that the release of the equipment to the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) will help boost power supply, which will in turn add value to the lives of Nigerians. Nweke, who decried the epileptic power outage experienced in the country said Nigerians would have enjoyed better power supply if the past administration had ensured that the abandoned equipment which were expected to complete major power projects in the country was put into use
“It is so appalling that for over 11 years, very important equipment that would have added value to the lives of Nigerians were kept in the port for such a long time”. He opined that while the Federal Government was working hard to deliver the dividends of democracy, some unscrupulous Nigerians are trying to truncate these efforts.
It will be recalled that Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, in Lagos commended the Apapa Customs Area Comptroller Mr. Charles Edike for facilitating the release of the containers. “Your support and assistance in delivering the equipment to the Transmission Company of Nigeria is commendable, your support will go a long way in boosting power supply

If you check well there is one fat civil servant who struck a deal with generator importers for this to happen. He is the same one who will die on a pension queue cursing "government" as if he was a good person.

Is it that GEJ is working and his government is undoing many coverups and administrative negligence or that he is doing all this because of next years election? I used not to support this dude, In fact I even voted against him but truth be told I may have been wrong. With several "transparent" projects to empowering the youth with entrepreneural drive, to the railway wonders and now rebuilding the desolations of many generations of leaders, I think I can say he is trying. Anyway this is my first time saying this on Nairaland.

However, every government should read emeagwali's thought about Africa and the way forward. I found it very inspiring(not minding the controversy surrounding the writer) http://think2wize..com/2010/09/where-is-africa-going-wrong.html

Apologies ahead but you have to dig deep, and I mean real deep, to find Nigerians with a conscience.

Controversial statement sure but ponder it for a minute.

Who was the last Nigerian that you dealt with that you feel had a conscience deep down.

3Dimension: Them go don expire sef.

No, they have a pretty long service/shelf life.

Now I will entertain an argument that they may have been tampered with or bits removed from them to repair others in operation.

Text book example of why Nigeria fails at being a real country no matter how much money they have in the government budget..
All those years, power supply was worse than the previous 20 years and the government was running around pledging projects and throwing money at various parts in need. All that while there was Aide to the problem already there waiting to pass through they eye of the tiny sensibility of the people running the ports...

The truth is derailment along the way is inevitable due to incompetence or some clueless long throat holding up goods and services to extort bribes.. Even if it was a 5 million naira bribe, it is nothing compared to the billions lost by people in business from Dangotes level Down to people just using light at night to live by in the slums and villages... The amount spent on generators,petrol,oil and repairs is enough alone to build nigerias infrastructure to a level that will compare to any developed country...
People pursue power and authority as a means of personal gain..and then proper thought and management never grows and the country never makes it out of its quagmire... Its a culture issue, not money or the means to do it right... The culture of big man getting his own first while big sense and knowledge just flushes down the toilet because its not sweet in the big powerful mans long throat..

Our development in the power sector has been stalled for over 11 yrs for some selfish reasons best known to their ''oga at the top''. I had to wear a non ironed dress, drink non refrigerated water, buy fuel for me Gen While some social psycopath was somewhere enriching himsef. May God forgive whoever is guilty of this 11 yrs of backwardness.
