2016 Budget: Power Ministry To Spend N20.6bn On Electricity (To Power Corporate Office!)
*Proposes 97 new electricity, road projects


The Ministry of Works, Power and Housing is to spend N20, 692,987,864 on the provision of electricity to its corporate headquarters in Abuja. The expenditure, which is contained in the 2016 Appropriation Bill, also includes the sum of N45, 463,197 for fuelling of its generating plants. Following the amalgamation of the three key ministries, there seems to have been an attempt to also grant the ministry and its parastatals a huge chunk of the national budget, particularly in the power sector.

For instance, the National Rural Electrification Agency (NERA) has been allocated the sum of N9.7 billion; Electricity Management Services was allocated the sum of N2.2 billion; National Power Training Institute has N1.3 billion; Nigeria Electricity Liability Management Limited has N3.3 billion; Nigeria Bulk Electricity Trading Plc. has N60.7 billion, while the Transmission Company of Nigeria got an allocation of N48.2 billion.
Similarly, the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has been allocated the sum of N46.2 billion, just as the sum of N569,566, 969 has also been allocated to the same ministry for local and foreign travels; maintenance of motor vehicles and transport equipment as well as for fuel and lubricants of its vehicles.

The same ministry has proposed a total of 19 new electricity projects valued at N20.287 billion and 78 road projects estimated to cost N260.838 billion. These projects are located in different parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) yesterday met with the local manufacturers of pre-paid meters in Abuja to address the problems of estimated billing and electricity theft.

The meeting, according to a statement by the Director of Press, Ministry of Power, Mr. Timothy Oyedeji, was to re-focus attention on the need to rapidly roll-out meters in order to ensure that Distribution Companies (DISCOs) charge electricity consumers only for energy they consume.
According to Oyedeji, the report submitted to the meeting showed that there are estimated over three million unmetered customers nationwide.
This informed government’s policy to bridge this metering gap as quickly as possible with maximum impact on local manufacturing and employment potential fully harnessed.

Speaking at the meeting, representative of the local manufacturers, Engr. Kola Balogun, said that access to and cost of credit is a major impediment to the growth of their production capacity in meeting present and future demand for meters.
He assured the minister of their readiness to support the rapid rollout of meters, but expressed concerns over government’s readiness to put in place clearer incentives for local production as opposed to importation of meters.

This info had better be wrong. because if it isn't, then i expect every right thinking Nigerian, irrespective of your political affiliation, to voice out against it. i mean, this is ridiculous, insane, outrageous, to say the least.

OP, it's actually in naira, not dollars, so edit the thread title. But yes, that is an outrageous amount to spend on the corporate headquarters alone, when the same amount is also budgeted for all the national electricity projects.
