Power supply drops to 2,880MW

Power supply from the national grid to households and
businesses in the country tumbled below 3,000 megawatts
on Tuesday, almost a month after it dropped to 2,954.52MW
before rebounding.
Power generation fell to 2,948.45MW on Tuesday, while
2,880.31MW was sent out, according to data obtained from
the Presidential Task Force on Power on Wednesday.
The downturn in power generation was attributed to the
sabotage of the Trans Forcados Pipeline on Sunday, January
4, 2015.
Power generation on the day fell to 3,415.21MW, while
3,314.99MW was sent out, according to the Federal Ministry
of Power.
The quantum of electricity available for distribution to
various classes of consumers as of December 29, 2014 was
4,112.29MW out of the 4,389.7MW generated, but this fell to
3,415.21MW on Sunday, according to the ministry.
The Special Adviser on Gas to the Minister of Power, Mr.
Frank Edozie, in a telephone interview with our
correspondent, said, “The reason power supply is down is
that there is not enough gas and the reason there is not
enough gas is because of sabotage of gas pipelines.
“The pipelines have been regularly vandalised in the last few
months. The Trans Forcados Pipeline has been down. The
last incident occurred on Sunday. The previous one was last
Wednesday. The pipeline was fixed and as it was about to be
commissioned, it was vandalised again at various points.”
The country achieved the highest peak generation of 4,517.6
MW of electricity on December 23, 2012.
Respondents in the latest governance poll conducted by
NOIPolls for the month of December 2014 rated President
Goodluck Jonathan poorly in terms of power supply.

It so much irritates me when I hear "there reason there is nno gas is because of sabotage". Is Government technically telling us they can safe guard our resources from saboteurs?

Same way they keep saying there is fuel subsidy scam and yet no one, not a single person has been jailed.

Further shows the insincerity and or outright cluelessness of the Gej administration.

Am yet to see rambunctious & GEJ Sycophantic SaTANs accuse Vice President Namadi Samboribobo of disrespecting Christianity by not removing his cap in a Christian worship in the pix below, yet they saw Buhari and questioning his ability to govern, but missed this? Like missing the speck in your own eyes, but seeing others...

Hypocrisy at work. One rule for GEJ, another for GMB.

It's inside the Church, unlike the Open Air Interdenominational and Inter-faith Service under reference during the Year 2015 Thanksgiving Service organised by the Lagos State Government.

King Nebu's Disciples, what ya say??

This is not a news jare, dropping in MW has being one of the constant thing in government. It is only during raining season we enjoy power supply in this con3, during dry season they shift their failure on pipeline vandalisation.

Jimi Agbaje Says Vote Jonathan or South South will make Nigeria Burn
Mr Agbaje said: "The Buhari of today is not the Buhari of 2007 or 2011 as he is operating on the steam of those who put him there for their own selfish purposes. We also have to appreciate the fact that the people in the south-south have the ability to shut the system down if their man is not elected.

"Remember that they have done it before. yes, it can happen in the north too but we have to ask ourselves which of the two scenarios we can survive best."
"Furthermore, Mr Agbaje warned that Niger Delta militants could shut the country's economy down if President Goodluck Jonathan was not returned to power next month. In February, Mr Agbaje will be running for Lagos State governor in the same elections during which President Jonathan will be up against General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the governorship candidate warned of the consequences of not returning President Goodluck to office.

The rains have stopped, the dams are dry and power supply naturally has dropped.

15 years of the PDP and billions of dollars after, Nigeria has still not been able to muster a constant 5000MW of power

How can I in good conscience vote such a party's representative back to power?

We should actually hold the FG responsible if indeed the reason for non availability of gas is sabotage. Is it not the same FG that gave pipeline security to tompolo and other well known militants?

"if I’m voted into power, within the next four
years, the issue of power will become a thing of
the past. Four years is enough for anyone in
power to make a significant improvement and if
I can’t improve on power within this period, it
then means I cannot do anything”
