The Federal Government has blamed high population growth for the country’s inability to meet the energy needs of its citizens and business outfits.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachi Lawal, who laid the blame in a speech at the inauguration of the Nigeria Energy Calculator developed by the Energy Council of Nigeria in Abuja on Wednesday, said effective planning was strategic to sustainable energy development in the country.



Lawal, who was represented at the event by the Director of Public Relations, SGF office, Ijeoma Onuagu, said concerted efforts must be made by all stakeholders to address the nation’s intractable energy crisis.

He said, “The growth in energy demand far exceeds supply principally due to high population growth rate and expansion of economic activities. It is in realisation of the dire need for enhanced energy security in the country that the Federal Government adopted the dual strategy of increasing capacity as well as diversifying the energy supply base.

“In line with the government’s agenda for change, this administration is committed to ensuring that all national resources are optimally mobilised to power our development aspiration.”

WHEN NIGERIANS VOTED APC, THEY DID NOT FOR THE PROBLEM, FIX THE PROBLEM AS PROMISED OR STFU

I Laff
Cheap excuses

L. L. . A. L (lying liars always lying)

Hehehe maybe as soon as APC took over the population increased..

Hehehe maybe as soon as APC took over the population increased.. Lacking excuses

AFTER 5 MONTHS NOTHING TO SHOW WE EVEN HAVE A GOVERNMENT, I THOUGHT GMB BODY LANGUAGE WILL FIX IT, WHY ARE U NOW GIVING US EXCUSES

lol..... Even satan will be scared at the mention of APC.... lying liars club...

see there mouth so we should not marry and born pikin again.


population growth my Ass.

...ooooohhhhh that is why you people reducing the population gradually through Boko boys

How can they be talking of overpopulation as cause of energy failure when a single politician loots millions of dollars from the country enough to buy a whole nation. For example, Madueke, Saraki and many others. This excuse is totally unacceptable.

We don't care if it was caused by rain, shine, or tornado. You were elected to fix, not regal us with stories. Just fix the darn thing duara dullard!

Funny government..

No NEPA for one week now and fuel is targeting N120 per litre.

Effect of Body Language..

its d gospel truth, d ever growing population is adding too much pressure in our power sector

Thunder fire you and your dullard old soldier! parading himself as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria. Nonentities!!!

APC, you are inexcusable!
Nevertheless, imagine this scenario. A man marries four wives and each gives birth to three male and two female children. This makes a total of 20 children from a man. Each of the 12 male children marries 3 wives and gives birth to 4 male and 2 female children. The total becomes 216 children. Compare this with one man one woman marriage and see the difference. This tells you one of the causes of population growth.

What happened to the 16billion dollars OBJ stole for power? I wonder why this man is still moving around freely with all that money. Truly, Nigeria/Zoo is a laughing stock. Disintegration of this country will do much good for the development of every region than one Nigeria.

If Nigeria blame power failure on population growth.

What now happen to steady power in india and china.

Lalasticlala PLESE HELP US DO THE NEEDFUL

The dullard and his brothers don finish us..
So population increased on may 29th

I think we are in for a very very long ride..

The reality of governance is dawning on APC.

I wonder whether churning out excuses for every failure will do.
I really wonder.

Talk is cheap, very cheap.
So is propaganda.

It's time to settle down to the businesses of leading, governing (not ruling) Nigeria.
Have your best shots and cut the tales.

The government should reduce the population. Abi.



Dumb people.

Where were the useless "leaders" when the population was less: even less than 50 million people?

A failed country.
