Why is it so easy to fool us? Why?
Did Fashola not say something similar before he was given the opportunity to do it as part of the APC change promises, only to fcvk up terribly

Jsucre:
so na mouth talk

duro4chang:
He should start from one local government so that we will all see

Utsmandanfodio:
He should do it in one local govt first

Wisereborn:
Will the government allow it

There will be no avenue for them to borrow

They are the greatest problem we are having in this country

Protect yourselves and light up your immediate environment first

NSUKKA – The Dean, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN, Prof. Emenike Ejiogu, on Thursday, proposed to inject 7,000 megawatts of electricity across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria through the gasification plant.

Prof. Ejiogu who is also the Director, Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Power and Energy Development, ACE-SPED, further said that Nigeria must adopt energy mix in order to stave off energy crisis crippling the economy, adding that the conventional national grid has proven to be insufficient in meeting the country’s energy needs.

He spoke as the 190th Inaugural Lecture of the University of Nigeria at the Princess Alexandra Auditorium, UNN, adding that through gasification plant, 10,000 megawatts of electricity can be injected into all the 774 local government areas in Nigeria through distributed energy generation.

While presenting the topic of the lecture titled ‘My Engineering Odyssey: Energy Security, Energy Sustainability and Bringing Power to the People,’ he explained that the gasification plant is an engineering system which is designed and fabricated locally with 100% local content, and which converts organic solid materials into synthetic gas for electric power generation and other uses.

“The conventional power industries in Nigeria with huge generating plants, produce huge amount of power and transmit it at a long distance. The disadvantage of this is that you have to cover the entire country with transmission lines which would result in huge financial losses. The technical manpower is not equally there to maintain this power arrangement because most of the materials are imported.

“In this situation, the best thing to think of is distributed-generation of energy. This can be done by creating micro and mini grids across locations in Nigeria so that we can generate power and distribute locally. Gasification plant is one of the enabling technologies that can help you achieve this. The advantage of distributed-generation is that you can generate your power locally and manage it locally.

“When you have a lot of these micro and mini grids, you can begin to tie them together so that in the end, you will have a network. With this arrangement, you can infuse huge amount of energy into our power sector without huge investment in transmission lines and other materials. This is an enabling technology because you can easily go into the 774 local government areas across the country and give each of them 10 megawatts of power which would result to 7,740 megawatts of power. This is already more than what our national grid is generating and transmitting. If the political will is there, you can infuse huge amount of energy in our sector within a period of two to three years. It is only the gasification technology that can give you that flexibility because we would be producing fuel from waste materials and coal which are in abundance in this country,” he explained.

He also said “With the current epileptic power supply in the country occasioned by the frequent collapse of the national grid, this is time to give proper attention to alternative power source.

“Our designed gasification plant converts solid wastes into gas, just like the refineries which turns crude oil into petrol and other products. What we need is the fund to mass produce it.

“Organizations can comfortably depend and run on it, what is required is to change the already existing diesel generators and modify them to run on gas and it will serve as mini-grid.

“Depending on public power supply alone has negatively impacted on production outputs and services of organisations in Nigeria, which as well have affected the national economy because some organisation can no longer operate under the epileptic power supply with price of diesel always on a high side,” he said.

In his address, the Vice Chancellor of UNN, Prof. Charles Igwe, who was also the chairman of the occasion, said that Nigerian universities cannot really be autonomous if the managements can produce services which would make them self-sustaining.

He described Prof. Ejiogu’s lecture as germane, especially as the country is still grappling with epileptic power supply, adding that keying into the lecturer’s alternative power generation would save Nigeria some cost of running only on the conventional power.

yarimo:
is that my father middle name

KingKO22:
Militiri pronunciation is enough to know that IPOB are illiterate 🤣😂🤣

Last week that I travelled to PHC and I was to return back on Monday, I had to find a car that would not pass through the red mod republic.


I don't pray for transfer to any of this state.

yarimo:
since they don't have anything to say now, they should remain silence forever when army react

TemplarLandry:
Especially that greasy piglet called Gists Lover. I don't like her for anything. She's so uncultured.

JoeyNaza:
What is funny is that, in cases of this nature. The ritual doctor is usually an Alfa ( Islamic cleric ).

I keep wondering how the religion intersects with ritualism. We don't see this with Arab Muslims

faoogoke:
He is older than your father and probably your grand father and you address him like that?

What a generation!

Once the root of the problem is known then solving it becomes easy!

Your bigotry is legendary. We are all humans born into different tribes. His death calls for sober reflection and a lesson for us all irrespective of our religion and tribe. [quqote author=pachigo001 post=125942327]Will a Yoruba man mourn an igbo man like this don’t know why my brothers no get sense

Pakute:
Stfu!, nobody put a gun to your head to mourn him. You killed Dora Akunyilli and we mourned her too.

EmekaA125:
What Yorubas will be never do for any Igbo blood.

Their tribalism stinks to high heaven.

They nearly killed themselves when an Igbo was given appointment in Ondo State, they even staged a protest in their Oba's palace but laughed and said nothing when Gov Peter Mbah appointed a Yoruba to head Radio/T.V Station in Enugu(Heart of Igboland).

Apart from being too conscious of Islam, it's easier to relate with a Northerner(pure Hausa stock/minority Northern tribe) devoid of tribalism totally than a Yoruba who is neither here nor there with their double faced character. Tueh

burp18:

Terrorist sympathizers will come and tell you how the Nigerian army are cowards and are just attacking innocent civilians. Every thing in that area should be burned to the ground.

Absolutely true!

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the Defender of the Black race.
May God continue to enrich him with more wisdom and favour everywhere he makes case for Nigeria and the Black race.

Only the unpatriotic elements , criminal defamers and cyberbullies will not enjoy the blessings of this land during and after his reign for the next 8 years. Nothing they sow will grow in the same land they curse.

God bless Nigeria for ever! I am very proud of my President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
God bless him and his family too. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Go to biafra court.

MS247:
So what exactly is this achievements I don't seem to get and what has it amounted to

Is Tinubu still not your President, controlling policies directly affecting your life and that of Bitter Obi
