How To Make Nigeria’s Electricity Work by Daslim180(m): 9:53am On May 06, 2015
A Renewable Energy expert, Prof. Sylvester
Egwu, has advised the President-elect, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, to tackle the epileptic
power supply in the country by dismantling all
generators in Aso Rock Villa. He also urged
Buhari the President elect to order the Power
Holding Company, PHCN, and Distribution
Companies, DISCOs, to give the Villa power
supply to save huge money spent on
generating sets.
Egwu said that Nigeria as the giant of Africa
has no justifiable reason to be in perpetual
darkness, when it had all the potential to be
energy sufficient and even export electricity
outside the country.
Speaking exclusively with Sweetcrude, he said,
“Nigeria as a giant of Africa has no justifiable
reason to be in perpetual darkness having all
the potential to be energy sufficient and
export it to the poorer West African nations.
“The lack of electric power in Nigeria has
become an incurable disease that has eaten
up progress, dignity and pride of Nigeria over
several decades with billions of US dollars
already sunk and wasted by Nigeria. “Nigeria
power capacity has been abysmally hovering
around 0-4000 MW for a population of about
170 million people. This is abnormal and a sin
against the Creator of the universe. God said
‘Let there be light’ but Nigeria says NO.
Because there is no light, “The President -elect
can cure this disease sometime attributed to
witches and wizards by some people by taking
the following drastic, uncommon and bold
steps to bring Nigeria to light and restore her
dignity: “He can set an example by
dismantling all generators in Aso Rock Villa
and ordering PHCN /DISCOs to give the Villa
power supply and remove all generators in the
government houses including PHCN offices.
Impose death penalty or life jail for vandalism
and sabotage of operations, facilities and
installations.
“On importation of refined crude products, he
said, Nigeria is wasting crude oil money on
fuel; the refineries must be made to work.
Nigeria under proper energy management can
be a giant of Africa and indeed a developed
nation everyone will love and live in with pride
and dignity.”
The author of “Renewable Energy: An
Overview”, further noted that Nigerians are
fleeing from darkness to poorer and developed
countries in search of electricity.
He decried that Nigeria, which is blessed with
abundant resources is getting poorer on daily
basis, and bedevilled by insecurity and
increasing crime waves, adding, “there are no
industries and factories, there is high
unemployment and there is death and
suffering caused by the use of generators
everywhere.”
Egwu described energy as a motive force that
drives the economy. According to him, “The
more a nation consumes energy, the more
prosperous that nation becomes with better
quality of life and improved wellbeing of its
people. “There is no nation in the world that
depends only on generators for power supply
except Nigeria. Nigerians have turned
themselves individually to PHCN with
generators of all sizes to power themselves.
Individual power supply is only everyday’s
punishment which cannot guarantee energy
sufficiency.
“With improved, efficient and adequate power
supply, Nigeria will indeed become a giant of
Africa with less insecurity, improved
educational standard as there will be light for
school work, factories and industries will
spring up. “Unemployment will be reduced,
and life will become more comfortable and
corruption will be minimised while poverty will
be reduced.” he said.
