I consider this statement an audacious statement. It is not about talking but by doing. Fashola can go to Eko Disco and have the concessionary discussion with them. Eko Disco is now a private power company and their aim is to make money, any idea that will enable them make more money will be welcome.

Fashola take the bold step by approaching them.

I can't just pick a sector that this our useless and inept President has transformed.

Oya start to dey mention? Even a whole G7 dudes talk life on national Tv this afternoon nothing particlar they can say that the president do just attacking the opposition and lieing thinking all of us are fools like you people

it sure doesn't require ROCKET SCIENCE as Lagosians can see at the Lagos Island Maternity and all other lagos state owned public institutions on the Island and Street Lights with Traffic Lights linked up to the state powered IPPs.

the IJU water works is on IPP, LASUTH is on IPP, ALAUSA state secretariat is on IPP

I think PDP need to step aside and allow COMMONSENSE REVOLUTION take place in Nigeria.

Load of uneducated, misinformed and illiterate comment on this thread.

Power generation is on the Exclusive List of the Federal Government just like Security, Military and INEC.

No state can constitutionally generate more than a certain amount of MWs except THEY WILL SEND IT TO THE NATIONAL GRID FOR OTHERS TO SHARE, so Fashola knows what he is talking about.

LAGOS WON'T STUPIDLY GENERATE POWER FOR JONATAN TO SPREAD, TINUBU TRIED WITH ENRON AND WAS BLOCKED by obasanjo and PHCN.

can you please list GEJ achievements apart from pouring tar on some roads and replacing air condition in some airport terminals. GEJ is a failure as a president.

President Babatunde Raji Fashola

Kingspin:
You can find GEJ achievements in every geo political zones range from railways, roads, aviation, power plants construction, agriculture, auto mobiles, u have the Youwin and Surep programmes. No doubt the first economy in Africa and third fastest growing in the world. You have the time to google them then looking for what Tinubu will say all the time. A case study: Fashola spending 8years in office yet he has not change Lagos to Texas or New York. How much more a country. We must be realistic and reduce siding politicians focus on issues. If u think any president has done then GEj let us know. We must struggle to librate ourselves not individuals who are desperate for resource control @centre.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.

Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.

He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”

Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.

Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power.

Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security.

The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts.

This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state.

The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state.

On his part, the State Commissioner in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition was about continuity in public infrastructure programme of the state government

Raiders:
how can Fashola change Lagos to Texas or New York when he is just a mere governor. Don't be deceive by Ngozi fake datas about Nigeria economy. We are the 3rd fastest economy only on PAPER. Millions of graduates are unemployed. Abi you didn't see the huge turn out for immigration job scam.
Also you argue like a market woman, Nigeria has the largest population in Africa so its normal for Nigeria to have the largest economy in Africa due to its large population. Its just like India has a larger economy than Belgium and Italy due to its large population. Does that means India economy is better than Italy or Belgium?? Nigeria is number 36 in Africa for GDP per capita person with countries like Libya, SA, Egypt ahead of us.

Kingspin:
Do we have people unemploye in Lagos? Why cant Fashola employ them since it easy to do overnite. Do we still have bad roads? etc. Wake up to realistic even Obama cannot change Nigeria in 4 or 8years and that is the fact. I support the national confab very well if u know what it means and that is the restructing am talking about in this Nigeria. Dont be afraid support it today.

Raiders:
why has GEJ not started implementing the national confab that was concluded last yr? Anyway, In a civilized country, its the president that is responsible for job creation and improving the economy. Fashola has tried on his role as a state governor.

Just as you gave Lagos your phantom mono-rail in 8years

Sir, your eight years is a waste. You failed to transform Lagos to New York and u have almost spending 8years in office. The same way they want GEJ to do it overnight within first tenure. We must be realistic on issues on ground. Give Fashola another 4years, he cannot to do it. We need patience for goodthings to develop. Never again we give the country's affair to one man called Tinubu.The unity of this country is more important. Nigerians give Jonathan another 4years and you will not regret it.

[b]If Fashola is a failure, Goodluck needs to be escorted out of Aso rock with armed guards and shot by firing squad.

Will rather give my vote to a Tinubu, than a Bode George, Ogunwele and the bloody rigger who calls himself Koro.

Why don't you give this shii a thought for a second, If Goodluck had done so much in his first tenure, why does he need to engage in smear campaign and flood us in the face with different campaign of his; both online and offline. I expected the opposition party to spend more in terms of campaign, but as it is. Our "achiever" President is trying so hard to state out the "unprecedented and "matchless" things he's done that only exist in our imaginations. Are Nigerians blind?

Here is what i tell my friends and colleagues at work, the only thing that could make you support Jonathan is:
1. If you don't pay bills.
2. You're in the circle of those getting money from this Oligarchic government.
3. An ethnic or religious bigot
4. You just want to remain blind to the truth.[/b]

You have eyes but refuse to see with them. It not a joke give Fashola another 4year making it 12years he cannot turn Lagos to Texas. Just wake up to reality on ground. Am giving u an inside of what u claim u know but u know nothing. Bring ur old pa buhari he cannot do it simple. We need restructing Nigeria not change. The national conference is it.
