Should Midbelt/north States ask For National Derivation From Hydropower Supply? by SpicyJosBabe(f): 7:24pm On Sep 09, 2016 |
For over a decade now, the Niger deltan region has been agitating for increased national allocation from the federal government due to the fact that their region produces much of Nigerian revenue from Oil exploration. Niger state on the other hand which is a state in the Central region of Nigeria has 2 of the powerful water dams in Nigeria which produces almost all the hydro electric power being used for the whole of Nigeria for so many decades now. Now, another hydro power dam is being built in Mambilla, Taraba state, central Nigeria, and this dam is built to be the largest Hydropower station in Africa which will increase power for the whole Nigeria...... https://www.nairaland.com/3339922/engineers-begin-work-mambilla-hydro-power The question is that since states in the Niger delta region are getting additional national allocation for their crude oil, what about Niger and Taraba states and their hydro electric power generation for the whole country?? Would they be wrong if they start a similar agitation? 2 Likes

[size=15pt]I think the north should ask for derivation for the North-East trade winds that blow from Sahara desert to the southern Nigeria. Afterall it brings harmattan to southern Nigeria. As long as the North-east trade wind is useful internationally and sold to get foreign exchange, and proceeds go into the federation account for sharing to every state and LGA, they are free to get 100% derivation if they want.

Actually the water originates in Guinea and flows through several states in Nigeria not one. At any rate the hydroelectric power plants are not the major contributors to power. Kainji Dam was built on condition that a major chunk of power goes to Niger republic. If any of the countries upstream decides to divert the Niger what can we do about it 4 Likes |

QuotaSystem: Keep your damn kanji damn for yourselves. If you like stop supplying electricity to ND and SE. It's not as if the electricity is provided free to us. We have a sea of natural gas to easily generate 50,000 MW. Keep your Yeye damn electricity and give us full resource control and see if we have time for kanji dam. Ughelli gas plant produces more electrify consistently than kanji that only operates near full capacity during the rainy season. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Madam, you sef really like dey look for trouble. I'll advise that you stick to showcasing pictures. Politics is not for everybody. This is a public forum for pets sake. This may draw people's attention to ills they hitherto never thought about. Na so small time we go begin hear say dem Niger State get militants. Y'all should seek better and effective ways of refraining boredom rather than stirring up hornets' nest at all times. Haba! 4 Likes 1 Share |
