privatisation of the power sector.

What's your take on this?

All I want is steady power supply.

Whatever needs to be done for constant and affordable power supply is very much welcomed.

So, does 'undo' mean FG will refund the money paid by the investors?

all way na way make light don dey ni

Amadi should not try to pre-empt the General. We voted for Change, and if the president deems it fit to make adjustments to existing policies - so be it.

Afterall, one of Yar'Adua first assignment in office was to cancel the sale of refinery by Obasanjo to Dangote/Otedola.

Exactly what was going through my mind

Make he cancel am if that would cancel all d debt on my pre-paid metre, so we can just start afresh.

I have nothing to say... But most of the government property are being taking for granted, they just collect salaries without working!! Private sectors is ok for Me...

Every dime will be returned

Osibanjo supports the privatization. He said APC believes in the privatization.

To reverse the privatization would be terrible cos its proven beyond reasonable doubt that government cannot successfully run enterprises.
However it wouldn't be bad to revoke the licenses of the companies failing to meet the privatization agreement terms. Largely, the failures are a function of either poor experience from the license holders or lack of funding. So if the licenses are given to more competent companies, that would be fine.

When prof Barth Nnaji was the head, the electricity really improved but after Barth and the sales of those plant all we have left is darkness, so please what ever is best for us all.

He should cancel that of Enugu distribution and do the bidding again,them do magomago for Enugu .

The NERC boss only said "Buhari can" and not "Buhari will".

For me, whatever the new administration deems fit to achieve desired results is welcome.

Pls let him do dat, it those PDP criminal dat bought it.

Aiit I Concord sir.

He can do but he won't do it. Its political suicide.

No no no no.

Make im no try am abeg, now since wey dem privatize, my area wey no dey see light dey get light anyhow now.

And since Jonah commission Alaoji, light is now sarara.

Buhari, no even try am abeg.

All Nigerians want is steady supply of electricity, it is no rocket science!

If he cancels then the person after him would cancel his own.
With that the private sector would not have enough confidence to invest in our economy.
That would leave our economy and infrastructure permanently under government control.

Nigerians have already refunded and still refunding the money invested by paying service charges every month without getting power supply.

So, part of this incoming illiterate government strategy is to use arms-chair journalist to send bits of information to the media to stoke our feelings and explain how governance should be done ? I am here, and I will not say anything until they do "kpim" in the wrong direction.

Buhari MUST provide me with 247 electricity within 3 months, he promised.

Buhari MUST stabilize the price of crude oil, he promised.

Buhari MUST provide a square meal of balanced diet to all school kids, he promised.

Buhari MUST equate 1Naira to 1dollar, he promised.

Buhari MUST fight corruption, (starting from Tinubu), he promised.

Buhari MUST pay post-NYSC members minimum wage for 1 year, he promised.

When Buhari does all these, I will be super-excited to call him, my Hero.

But for now, he remains the most illiterate President in the 21st century worldwide. He remained the man who was voted into power by the army of illiterate tribalistic gingoist powered by the Lord of Fraud of Bourdillon and driven by the Bi-Sexual looking Amaechi.

Freedom of Speech, what a sweet delight. Thanks to GEJ for FOI Bill.

Since power was privatized, my phone's battery would remain 1% but i wouldn't worry 'cause i know there's light. Tho it's not that it doesn't go off sometimes but it can go off for 20mins unless there was a general fault. So Buhari should go sit down for gutter
