Minister power == Minister of Finance
NERC == CBN.


If a Genco doesn't produce anything, what will Fashola do? Fire the CEO?

Besides NERC is not under the ministry of Power.

Small info to ignoramuses like you.
AES has not generated 1MW for close to a year or even more than because Sahara Energy refused to give them gas. When Egbin was owned by the government, the minister could issue a directive and it would be done, but now it's in private hands, all the minister can do beg and nothing more.

So about 200MW is not generated because Sahara is trying to buy a company that doesn't want to sell.

Nigeria is a lawless country; reason why things as you said up there happens. That the minister doesn't wield the big stick on erring companies doesn't mean he can't.
So Mr.. .who runs oversight on NERC If NERC isn't under the ministry of Power. Please educate me

Bros you have still not answered the question.
WHO RUNS OVERSIGHT ON NERC?
I know their mandate already. You said they are not under the ministry of Power so please educate me on who oversees their operations. Or are they just a rogue organization with no one to check activities and excesses?

From Wikipedia? Seriously?

Check preceding agency and tell me if NERC and NEPA are the same.

You should read the act creating NERC

....Ewoo!!..i laugh in 'rocket science..Well oga Fash,you dont need to admit 'failure'..Its crystal clear you and your fulani boss buhari has failed in all ramifications..

...Next time think twice before opening your mouth to criticise others.


...P.s..i wonder what happened to the ice-blocks in refridgerators apc zombie supporters were celebrating last year during rainy season ...Meanwhile i spend a fortune to run my gen now so that i can drink cold water and preserve my cooked food...smh!!

The chairman and members of the Board, other than ex-officio members, shall-
(a) be appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister
That is the act creating the NPA



the commission shall consist of seven full time commissioners appointed by the President subject to confirmation by the senate

This is from the NERC act. Can you spot the difference when it comes appointment?

Also a commissioner cannot be removed without a simple majority of the senate.

In case anyone still wondering how much power Minister of Power has over NERC.

33.- (1) The minister may issue general policy directions to the commission on matters concerning electrity, including directions on overall system planning and co-ordination, which commission shall take into consideration in discharging it's functions under 32 (2), provided that such directions don't conflict with this act or constitution of federal republic of Nigeria.
