Yes, I won't be surprised @ the bolded.....especially as they were responsible for Prof Nnaji's removal (Prof Nnaji was on the road to giving us 10000mw when he was sacked)

#BringbackNnaji


You really believe that thing you wrote? Nnaji was sacked for not given up a stake in Geometric power, it has nothing to do with Generator importers, Generator importers don't care about steady electricity, the people who should be scared is the gas station owners.
A generator importer can easily import prepaid meters which is more expensive with higher profit margin than generators, meter is scarce and the market is untapped, meter is smaller than generators so he doesn't need a full warehouse anymore.
They can become vendors for the distribution companies and they will get percentage for selling prepaid cards and collecting bills.

Do you know what a gas pipeline is? do you guys really believe the crap this govt say? who will take such risk? which one is vandalized recently doesn't it have a name? which facility is it supporting? we are Nigerians, we can go to site and check this things out.

By the way, I want Nnaji back, though he is smarter than his employer
Lying bastarrrds!!

This whole issue is laughable! Many of us in this generation were born into this power failure and several years later it has gone worse! I remember a day at my work place in Chicago, there was a storm coming and the power went off in the building for just 2 mins, people screamed but I sat there and felt more at home! grin grin grin ! This people should come to Nigeria!
4 years of waste, I wonder why we are disappointed...did you people ask GEJ's achievements in Bayelsa before you handed over Nigeria to him on a platter of gold! Let's see where luck will take us to..GEJ till 2025.. Nonsense!!!!

Minister tasks Abuja Disco on power supply

on October 21, 2014


By Chris Ochayi

The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, has charged the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, to urgently address the epileptic power supply in the entire Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja and its environs.

electricityNebo gave the marching order when he paid an unscheduled visit to AEDC Headquarters in Abuja.

He noted that the erratic supply of power in and around Abuja, especially in key government establishments is slowing down the pace of work, which is greatly impeding the performance of government programmes and activities.

The minister’s visit is meant to ascertain the challenges responsible for the recent drop in power supply in the FCT, with a view to collaborating with the company to provide immediate solution.

He lamented that Abuja as the seat of power, cannot afford to operate under low power supply, adding that the situation where most government establishments are starved of constant power supply is totally unacceptable.

He called on the management of AEDC to do a thorough check as well as prioritise load shedding to ensure that there is equitable distribution of electricity. He also noted that Nigeria, which is currently wooing investors into the power sector, will receive negative response from prospective investors if confronted with darkness when they come to discuss business.

“There is cheering news from other cities about improvement in power supply, whereas Abuja, where major government transactions take place is unfortunately starved of the needed regular power supply,” the minister said.

Also commenting, the Permanent Secretary, Power, Amb. Godknows Igali, enjoined the company to properly balance its load shedding.

He added that priority should be given to public buildings, like the Federal Secretariat, Office of the Head of Service, economic and health institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria, hospitals and airports.

He assured the electricity company of his Ministry’s support in tackling the challenges confronting it in the distribution of power to the Abuja environ.

Responding, the Managing Director, AEDC, Mr. Neil Croucher, called for a political decision in the quantum of power supply to the FCT. According to him, the amount of power supplied to Abuja has drastically reduced thereby necessitating the rationing of power in such a way as to satisfy all its customers.

He said the issues raised by the Minister are of great concern to the company, adding that prompt response will be given to ensure that load shedding is prioritised for optimum results.

Croucher further said that his company is in close discussion with five other electricity companies on embedded power to ensure that the supply to Abuja and its environs increased to boost economic activities in the area.

The question is, if you see one will you vote for him?

If Chief Awolowo could not win when The Great Britain PM said ' if Awolowo had come to England, he would have been the best PM' ,

Let us assume Fashola decides to contest now when all of us already know he will perform better than Jonathan, will you vote for him?

Wont you start religion and tribal sentiments again?

Buhari is the answer my brother. You already (in your inner mind) that he will not be as corrupt as Jonathan (at least you cannot compare Yar' adua with Jonathan on corruption).
the only politician I can vote for currently is fashola buy he ain't contesting. the Buhari who you're vouching for doesn't seem to be capable, though that's just my humble opinion. I'm not trying to involve tribalism, all I want is someone capable, religion or ethnic background should not be put into consideration.

There will always be an excuse for poor leadership in Nigeria..................:
*GEJ blames 'Boko Haram' for his failure.
*Keshi blames Sudan away loss to saboteurs.
*T. B. Joshua blames Guest House collapse to 'Strange Aircraft'.
..........now Nebo is blaming Pipeline Vandals for fall in megawatts. When will these so-called leaders learn how to throw in the towel?

GMB was right afterall. That PDP saTANic spokesman should hide his lie-infected head. And apologize to GMB.
This is a further confirmation that the pdp/jonathan have failed longsufferring,ordinary Nigerians.
