Claims and counter claims have continued to trail the exposure on why Nigeria has remained in darkness despite availability of gas to power the system.

In a statement marking his one year anniversary as Group Managing Director at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru shocked many when he stated that at least 50 per cent of domestic gas supplied to the power generating companies (Gencos) are often wasted due to inability of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to wheel out generated power by the Gencos.

This has made it impossible for Nigeria to improve from its 4.3 megawatts electricity supply in the past 10 years.

Hear Baru: “During the period under review, domestic gas supply increased from average of 700mmscf, in July 2016 to an average of 1,220mmscfd currently, with about 75 per cent of the volume supplied to thermal power plants.

“A lot of Generation Companies, as a result, are rejecting gas due to the inability of Transmission Company of Nigeria to wheel-out the power generated”.

He also stated NNPC had done everything possible to reduce this waste, but little or no progress has been made in that regard.

Electricity supply is currently at worst I have seen in ages , it's is lethargic, pathetic and practically none existent , from an assured 8 hours a day in the past in has reduced to a staccato 4 hours mix

Please someone, is there any other country in the world that has electricity issues like nigeria?

They fooled the fools
But not me
I see them as they are
Bunch of looters and liars
They have nothing to offer except heartbreaks and poverty

Satan punish fashola

The Minister has a penchant for abdicating his core duty in favour of debates in the media.

He knows this is where his core strength & major employees are.

Left to Nigerian media & staff of Lagos APC/AC/ACN there is uninterrupted power in Nigeria and it's only unpatriotic elements like the 'illiterate and corrupt senators and reps' that can't see it.

They are the ones stopping Minister Fashola from turning Nigeria to America

None , even Afghanistan has commendable electricity..The reason has to do with the proliferation of low average IQ in the country , in a country where the Average IQ is in the 50s bracket I swear nothing can work
