Go Johnny Go Johnny B. Goodluck Nigeria's entire electrical power utility company's bloated workforce has existed for the sole purpose of DEPRIVING the country of electrical power, given that those loathsome criminals have been PAID to carry out that systematic sabotage, on behalf of a pathologically greedy assemblage of fat phucks who profiteer from the import of diesel and gasoline-fueled home generators for sale to a captive audience of 120 million people forced to live in darkness for the past quarter century. If the idea of lining up those redundant electrical power utility workers against the wall to be machinegunned is considered wasteful of ammunition, those despicable parasites should at least be forced to hand-weed the center divider of Nigerian highways around the clock and in all weather conditions, until such time as they are smeared across the tarmac by passing trucks. Good phucking riddance to Nigeria's most damaging malignancy. Johnny B. Goodluck, You is da MAN ! |

Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by alldone(m): 2:23pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
if you are trying to do anything good, it must definately affect some people so it is ok. afterall it is the same set of workers that contributed immensely to the bad energy system. |

Jakumo: I guess they are next only to the Nigeria Police in terms of the sheer havoc they have wreaked on this hapless country. I say this because the Police are constitutionally empowered and positioned to arrest, literally and figuratively, all manners of reported/suspected acts of corruption and larceny that happen in all institutions; PHCN inclusive. The Police have become a major clog in the wheel of Nigeria's slow progress and to make matters worse, are no longer ashamed or bothered about their crass incompetence and steep corruption. Indeed, what a damaging malignancy! |

The privatization of energy supply should have been done decades ago. A private supplier will be operating purely for profit and you can't make any profit, if there is no supply, so they have to ensure that there is constant billable electricity being generated. However, that is only half of the problem. Vandalization of equipment should be made an offense with a harsh custodial sentence to act as a deterrent + all new buildings should obtain planning permission, to ensure that they can actually adequately obtain power off the current network and not just pay someone to illegally draw power. This is however, an important 1st step. That's if they don't screw it up and chop all the money like they normally do. |

Good move if it will make the power sector better. BUT i hope peoplen like me who have scores to settle with phcn can still do so. |
Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by Phate07(m): 2:58pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
But who cares? The co mmon man in the streets? I doubt. |
Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by Meldrick(m): 3:00pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
Have you ever been close to a NEPA STAFF? They live like people working in SHELL or CHEVRON. I doubt if the Nigerian Police is as corrupt as NEPA. Good move from President Jonathan. I guess ATIKU would have also made the same move but for selfish interest. He sure would have bought it as his company like he was doing when he had the opportunity to chair BPE. |

Finally, what previous governments have been promising forever now seems on course. |

Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by HamidO1(m): 3:23pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
If that will translate to more MW of electricity then government can even close down all the area offices too. |

Why all this talk-talk, please sell the fucking PHCN. For the past one month the 5hrs supply to my place has been a candle light! |
Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by Donmeca(m): 3:39pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
NEC/NEPA/PHCN has held this nation by the scrotal sac for as long as my dad can recall. They resort to sabotage each time the govt wants to carry out any meaningful plan towards steady power supply. They have even used strike to send us signals of their omnipotence. . . this is unacceptable to say the least. I support, wholeheartedly any overhaul that will guarantee my putting on light switch to find bulb smiling without the ever-irritating sound of a gen set. My problem with government policies is in the full implementation. . .who is shall carry it out to fruition? I am afraid that element even within this same would be the ones to scuttle this noble initiative by their own govt. Imagine that the only hole Dimeji Bankole picked in the JEG Roadmap to Power was that the president did not make provision for the flourishing "billion dollar" generator business. He is more concerned about the welfare of the "cabal" raping the country's power sector than for the welfare of the vast majority of d citizenry. . .shallow-mindedness! |
Re: Govt Begins Closure Of Phcn, Transfers Workers . by benchwest: 3:46pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
let them privatise it, thats the only solution to improve electricity in nigeria,i endorse this iniciative. but the govt must enforce a policy that must protects the consumers. and we nigerias must know when to clap our hands for govt when they perform to encourage them than to sit and caste every govt policies. |

I have reverted to my gen and inverter Pls lets root out inefficiency |

On measures so far taken to end government’s monopoly and attract private investors, the PTF on Power recalled that adverts inviting companies to submit expressions of interest in taking up 51 per cent stake of the six generation and 11 distribution PHCN successor companies had been published in the media. I really hope the winning bidders will be the best and most qualified bidders not the most corrupt bidders. Let them not give us the kind of selection that saw CCC and Dantata & Sawoe waste years spending our billions of Naira fooling us while claiming they are constructing our roads. Other companies can do better a work in less time! Or the kind of selection that encouraged Julius Berger to add an extra 2 billion naira in the cost of expanding Abuja runway due to "mathematical error". Oops! as I was typing PHCN struck. . .my light went off. Have they started the closure already? or is this d normal bad-belle PHCN? |

shevchenko:Hope u know the meaning of a failed state. Dont just use expressions which u dont know its meaning. Phate07:Do a quick research and find out what the common man on the street really need if not electricity! |

This is a step in the right direction. Am for anything that will guarantee Nigerians stable & constant power supply. Ghana, a small country enjoys regular power supply. We the giant of Africa should have put our house in order long before now so all will acknowledge that we are actually the giant of Africa. Thanks to the Federal Government for trying to actualise our dream of regular power supply. |

How good this decision is really depends on the outcome. Lets hope this would be the pathway to solving Nigeria's #1 infrastructural challenge. It'll be such a delight |

Good initiative,but i advice they disengage the whole staff whether they know the terrain or not.these are the same people who got the prestigious award for the most corrupt institution in 2006.retaining them will retard the success of the privatisation program. |
