The senator representing Niger South, Bima Enagi, has introduced a bill that seeks to ban the importation of generators in Nigeria.

The bill, titled “a bill for an Act to prohibit/ban the importation of generating sets to curb the menace of environmental (air) pollution and to facilitate the development of the power sector,” was one of the six bills read for the first time on Wednesday.

The bill prescribes, at least, ten years imprisonment for any person who knowingly sells generator sets.

Other details of the bill obtained by PREMIUM TIMES shows that the ban shall not include generator sets used for essential services which include:

* Medical purposes (hospitals and nursing homes and healthcare facilities).

* Airports.

* Railway stations/services.

* Elevators (lifts).

* Escalators.

* Research Institutions, and

* Facilities that require 24 hours electric power supply.

“Approval for exclusion shall, however, be obtained from the Minister in charge of Power, who shall brief the Federal Executive Council quarterly on approvals granted.”

The bill further directs “all persons to stop the use of electricity generating sets which run on diesel/petroI/kerosene of all capacities with immediate effect, in the country.”

“This bill seeks to ban the importation and use of generating sets (generators) in the country and to curb the menace of environmental pollution which leads to potential health hazards it poses to the whole nation,” part of the document read.

The lawmakers are expected to debate the details of the bill on another legislative day.

The introduction of the bill comes four months after the Senate rejected a resolution to temporarily ban the importation of generators.

Lol

Nigerians don't deserve electricity

This may look like feem BUT sadly, the move is a very clever move to bring DARKNESS to the nation nigeria.... if this bill is accepted then they can move to cut off power supply to areas that they want to cause mayhem without the news ever getting out.


IT IS WARRRRR


This is how thieves start, by cutting the power grid.

Soon they will employ technology to disrupt phone networks for different zones they are about to attack.


BE WARNED NIGERIA, those who plan jihad and the hydra of bokoharam and herdsmen have come upon you to radically TAKE OVER....


these government laws will FACILITATE it.

There is more to come. Last year was for CHURCHES, this year is for the SOCIETY and MEDIA.... once they conclude then they begin the onslaught.
