SalamRushdie:


Can you tell us what Fashola and his cronies in DISCO have achieved with the recent Tarrif increase of over 50 percent that they now come back just a year later to ask of another ..Please use your head because I know you can't even afford the present tariiff
I am pretty sure Fashola had no hand in selling to the owners of the DISCO's so they cant be his "cronies". That being said, Fashola said the truth but trust Nigerians to be Nigerians and see everything from a political point of view rather than logic.

1) It would take at least 7-10 years for Nigeria to have constant light. The earlier Nigerians accept this, the earlier politicians won't play politics with it.
2) A lack of investment in the power sector for close to 20 years CANNOT be erased in 5 years. Power is capital incentive with very little profit margin (something the investors didn't think about before buying)
3) Gas drives a majority of our power stations and it is priced in dollars while we pay our bills in Naira.


I could go on and on about the problems in the power sector and anybody expecting a miracle is most likely deceiving themselves.

Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has claimed that the immediate past President, Goodluck Jonathan reversed electricity tariff to get votes from Nigerians during the 2015 Presidential elections.

Speaking at a public lecture organised by the department of Economics, University of Lagos, on Thursday, the former governor of the state insisted that the privatization of the power sector was deceptive.

Fashola maintained that the reduction of electricity tariff by the past administration created “massive debt” for Nigeria as it did not conform to the realities of the country’s economy.

He said, “While I fully support privatisation, I believe what took place in 2013 in the heat of politics was a privatisation that was well intentioned since 2005 but delivered with some deception in 2013 with the expectation of political profit.

“It led many uninformed Nigerians to believe that once the privatisation was concluded, the assets sold to the distribution companies (DisCos) and the Generation companies (GenCos) there was immediately going to be power. I cautioned then that people’s expectations were being unduly raised without telling them that there was a lot of work to do.

“Government must also not interfere with the power of the regulator when it fixes tariff in the way the last administration ordered a reversal of tariff in order to win electoral votes in 2014.

“It created a massive debt for Nigeria, because while the government ordered a reversal of tariff, it did not reduce exchange rate, interest rate, cost of wages or cost of gas and other inputs necessary to produce power. Why should Nigeria carry a debt created by an individual’s electoral ambition? This is what the Buhari administration has to contend with.”
If GEJ reduced tarrif to get votes, u then lied and decieved Nigerians to get into power.Now you r a wailer, accusing everyone of ur failure.After u will beg.

This same Fashola who said that Jonathan should reduce fuel prices because oil prices dropped?
What is fuel price now? Almost N200 from N87 that they inherited?
These guys can go to lesser Hajj and bigger Hajj every year but it won't save them from the hottest part of hell.
No it won't stop them from reaping the seeds of poverty and pains they have created in the land.


stephenduru:
Minister with the highest portfolio in President Buhari's administration Babatunde Fashola told Federal Government to bring down fuel price on December 7,2014 when there was oil slump.

Politics is a game.Has any minister told Buhari to bring down fuel so far?Mehn!We are suffering.The earlier the better

I was going to say exactly this. Is the federal issue so troubled that a proclaimed messiah of Lagos state became an incontrovertible buffoon. Whats all this crap he is spewing these days.

We are fed up with APC. It's just that new parties would contain old wine disgruntled ones at that.

Who would saveus.

A benevolent dictator is what we need with nothing less than 10yrs in the saddle. Massive rebrsnding of the entire populace mentality.

We are animals.

This is a sign of failure. Any human being that doesn't take responsibility for his shortcomings and work towards improvement , but always look for any available thing to put the blame on, is not only a failure but will never succeed.
That blame is an excuse for failure.
Have you not noticed that ,the more they blame GEJ and PDP the more they fail?

For where nd re u sure u re in Nigeria ?Electricity has gone from bad to worse since A. P. C took over ,and with the attendant exorbitant bills for supplying us darkness. In my area for example we hardly see the light ,and everybody now seems to be used to it and resort to buying fuel to power their generators without complaints.,it would even be better to forgo these useless DISCO's and rely solely on generators or solar electricity...

The cost of living, dollar exchange rate and numerous others re A. P. C's sins against Nigerians...We re really suffering in this country because in other climes, their government is up nd doing and subsidize certain things for them but wat's our government doing/done for Nigerians... Absolutely nothing and every election year they still ve the temerity to canvass for votes from us......
