The GenCos, who said they are on the verge of collapse over debts in excess of N1 trillion, currently generate 80% of the power consumed in Nigeria. However, they said the federal government is giving preferential treatment to Azura Power West Africa Limited and Accugas Limited (Seven Energy) via the partial sovereign guarantee (PSG) with the World Bank in the settlement of liabilities. TheCable recently reported that Azura and Seven Energy were unable to settle their December 2017 invoices regarding their foreign loans but the federal government came to their rescue 2 Likes |

The privatization of power generation and distribution in the past dispensation was one of the biggest scams in the history of Nigeria,probably second only to that of the oil industry. Power generation and distribution were handed over to political and government affiliated persons with neither the financial wherewithal,the knowledge,capacity nor experience to run even a 1kw capacity generator. This government,itself lacking capacity,full of incompetent and nepotic individuals,built and sustained on the same foundation of crass corruption has just taken it to the next stage by narrowing down the corrupt,incompetent breed to just the most connected and probably most corrupt of the individuals running the Gencos. 16 Likes 1 Share |

In 2015 under Jonathan I was used to enjoying 12 hours of power supply everyday, but today under Buhari I don't see up to one hour of uninterrupted power supply. whenever they supply power, it is either half or quarter current and it shows up once or twice a week, I guess that is the meaning of CHANGE 14 Likes |

They made the following demands in the letter: • Confirmation of a plan for 100% payment of all outstanding indebtedness and interests due to the GenCos for electricity supplied and ancillary services provided by them. • 100% payment (not 80% payment) of all invoices to be submitted by GenCos under the payment assurance programme. • Payment of all sums due as capacity charge to the GenCos from 2013 till date. •Non-admission of any additional beneficiary into the ₦701BN assurance facility without corresponding increase in the facility amount. •Payment of the balance of ₦213BN from CBN Electricity Market Stabilization Fund Removal of all administrative bottlenecks delaying drawdown of payment assurance funds. • Provision of sovereign guarantee and/or partial risk guarantee for all payment obligations to GenCos. 2 Likes |

In August 2014, a federal government circular No. SGF/OP/1/S3/X/737 issued by[b] Anyim Pius Anyim,[/b] then secretary to the government of the federation, had directed that a “specimen indemnity clause” be inserted into all contracts and agreements entered into by FGN with foreign entities. This, he said, was “to provide additional protection to the Federal Government Nigeria and some of its separate legal entities such as the CBN, NNPC and NSIA whose assets may be liable to attachment in enforcement proceedings in foreign jurisdictions”. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, then minister of finance, had sought the legal opinion of Mohammed Bello Adoke, then attorney-general of the federation (AGF), on the put-call option agreement (PCOA) signed with Azura Power — which included the PRG. Adoke, TheCable learnt, reminded the minister of the SGF circular on the need to indemnify the federal government and prevent its assets from becoming vulnerable in the event of default. The PCOA was eventually signed without Adoke’s legal opinion which was necessary to activate the agreement. However, TheCable understands that when President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office in 2015, pressure was mounted on Abdullahi Yola, the then solicitor-general of the federation, by top presidency officials to give a favourable legal opinion. Seven Energy is the leading integrated gas company in south-east Nigeria At the time there was no attorney-general. Yola then wrote a different legal opinion early August 2015, finally confirming the validity of the PCOA. Thereafter, also in August 2015, the federal government signed off its backing of a $237 million World Bank PRG for the construction of the 450 megawatts Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant (IPP) — celebrated as the first of a series of new IPPs to drive growth in the power sector. The Azura-Edo IPP is the Phase 1 of a 1,500mw IPP facility, whose groundbreaking was performed by then President Goodluck Jonathan in October 2014. The lenders include JP Morgan, Standard Chartered Bank, Rand Merchant Bank, Standard Bank and Siemens Bank. In November 2016, the federal government also signed a $112 million World Bank PRG for the supply of natural gas to the 560mw National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) in Calabar, Cross River state, by Seven Energy. The PRG was to secure the supply of up to 130 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to Calabar and enable the regular generation of an additional 560mw to the national grid. |
