I have read similar articles and in the end, all it does is incense me the more and make me want to burst a gut.

How all of the things we need to do to fix power in this country is there for all to see, yet nothing gets done in the end is enough to make one want to give up the will to live.

I blame it all on disingenousness. All our leaders seem to want to do is steal our commonwealth and leave us impoverished without even the basic social amenities.

Even Buhari, the supposed saviour of the country rather than strategize on how to hit the ground running is already displaying the defeatist mentality as if he didnt know about Nigeria's problems.

I'm really worried that the plight of the common man has no end in sight. Today at the Cafe, I saw lots of men and women that should have been long settled in a career still reconstructing CVs with that look of despondency on their faces.

Yet our leaders continue to rape us non-stop, leaving us in one huge mess or the other.

Quo vadis Nigeria? Na where we dey go?

Exactly... There would be ripple effect which means guaranteed profits as demand will rise both by individuals and by industries. The profit is certain. It's just the timing. Nigerians want their profits by the next financial year after making the investment. Electricity is not that kind of investment. You may not turn a profit until 3 years.
However, if that's what's needed to get me 24hrs of electricity, then raise the prices. I've not seen an electricity price increase strike before.

The problem is actually multifaceted. Price increases is just one of it.

I agree..

Privatizing PHCN is one of the greatest undoing of this government. Power is essential in the economy of a country like Nigeria, as the country is full of artisans like barbers, welders, carpenters, tailors, electricians, hair stylists, etc who are entrepreneurs, who contribute to the GDP of the country.

so the artisans should not pay for electricty?
can we afford to keep subsidizing the corrupt fat nepa cats

Renewable technologies can be very important for remote areas with no connection to the grid as they can easily be deployed there with the right policies in place. For instance, Solar Photovotaics (PV) can be promoted in rural areas by giving subsidies or making credit facilities available to residents. The government must look into this as it could quickly boost electricity accessibility in the country.this is the immediate solution

Bro, let me be frank with you. He can't fix power in four years. If I open a thread and explain to a reasonable level, then your eyes will open. Please, don't be deceived. He can't fix it in 4 years not even in 8years.

Well we are waiting, After 4 years if Buhari doesnt fix the Nigerian electricity problem then i would agree that Nigeria isnt governable

Well like i said, i wont believe that until after 4 years, telling that its not possible is something i cant believe, kenya is currently building a new plant that will double their supply and this will be built in 2 years, so there is nothing impossible

you have to learn to "listen".
it is not just "building power plant"
it is also
1) getting fuel to the power plant
2) distributing the power from the power plant
3) getting paid by electricity consumers
4) maintaining all of the above!

PIB implementation is one positive step towards addressing the gap between the energy and gas infrastructure.
Re: What General Buhari Must Do To Fix Power In Nigeria by toseen29: 8:14pm On May 15, 2015
This is a brilliant write up. Resolving the power issues in Nigeria requires an holistic approach, you have addressed the technical aspect in your write up. i will also suggest the new Government conduct meetings with key stakeholders (diesel sellers) and technocrat (electricity/power) and let everyone put up their suggestions on the way to move forward in this sector. For the diesel merchants their financial revenue from diesel sales is enuf to frustrate government efforts in the sector.

Gas is cheap.
Good. What about countries that use other means to generate electricity isnt it not expensive?? I think Nigerians dont mid the cost as long as the service is available.
Re: What General Buhari Must Do To Fix Power In Nigeria by mitnick(m): 1:25am On May 16, 2015
OrlandoOwoh:

Considering the amount of gas being flared, I believe it will do us enough good if the gas is utilized.
On states getting involved in power, the FG can only be sincere if it gives states the permission to distribute power, as they (the states) have the right to generate power. Some states have built power plants that can serve them, but can't distribute it because it is in the exclusive list.
@ the bolded, this is the major problem we have in this country, some states do not want to tap into the natural resources they have, they expect everything from fed govt and tax.

I never said impossible. He just can't fix the problem of power in 4years because he is very likely to follow the noraml trend of our past leaders. If you have any1 that works in the GENCos, DISCos or TCN. Ask them and tell them to tell you the bitter truth. It can only get better if GMB/PYO decide to do otherwise.
