Fashola Press Statement by bidesco: 10:24pm On Dec 09, 2015 |
As far as status reports go, the Federal
Government budgeted N18.132Billion in 2015
and the Ministry of Works got N13Billion for all
roads and highways in 2015, although it has
contracts for 206 roads, covering over 6,000km
with contract price of over N2 Trillion. Our
ability to achieve connectivity of roads depends
on capital spending in 2016 to pay contractors
and get them back to work.
Our short term strategy will be to start with
roads that have made some progress and can
be quickly completed to facilitate connectivity.
This include Ibadan Lagos road and 2nd Niger
bridge.
As far as status reports go,until around
November 2013 the Government was the owner
of all power assets in Nigeria except a few
independent power plants and other smaller
assets.
Today, private companies have the responsibility
for generation.
11 (Eleven) distribution companies are now
responsible for bringing power to your homes.
They buy the power from the Gencos, We are
now at a point when government spending on
all aspects of power has been significantly
reduced on distribution and generation, except
for some projects started under the National
Integrated Power Project (NIPP).
Today, the amount of power that is available is
slightly larger than the capacity which the
Transmission network can support. We have
identified a total of 142 (One Hundred and
forty-two) projects of which 45 are at 50% level
of completion and about 22 (twenty-two) can be
completed within a year. Apart from these there
is a 10MW wind energy project in Katsina
nearing completion, a 215MW plant in Kaduna
and the 3,050 MW plant in Manbilla Taraba
State all of which need to be completed. |
