The Minister of Power, Mr Saleh Mamman, has said that the Nigeria’s installed grid power generation capacity has grown from 8,000mw to 13,000mw under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mamman made this known on Wednesday during the 2021 budget defence before the House of Representatives Committee on Power in Abuja.

He also said that the distribution system had the capacity to evacuate 5,500mw of power having grown from 4,500mw in 2015.

“Under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, the country’s grid power capacity has increased significantly from the time this administration took over in 2015 to date.

“During the period between 2015 to date, the sector has recorded successes and has faced challenges.

“In order to deliver this administration’s promise of providing stable and affordable power to Nigerians, a way forward was defined and supported by Mr President’s political will,” he said.

However, committee expressed displeasure with the minister for not ensuring sanctions for Distribution Companies (DisCos) for alleged “gross irresponsibility and wickedness in the execution of their contract”.

The Chairman of the committee, Alliyu Magaji (APC-Jigawa), asked the minister to met out stiffer sanctions to the DisCos, to enable them to sit up and provide the desired services to Nigerian people.

Magaji said that if the minister ensured the sanction of the DisCos, he would become the darling of lawmakers and the entire Nigerians.

The chairman informed the minister that as far as the House was concerned, the Nigeria Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET) was still under the purview of his committee.

The rep said that the purported transfer of the parastatal to the Ministry of Finance was unacceptable to the legislators.

Members of the committee raised concern about power supply to their various constituencies, urging the minister to ensure supply. (NAN)

Of what use when the nation is still in darkness and many communities don't have Two hours electricity.








Kelebe tueh!!!

Another lies

audio megawatt generation.

since this endsars protest, there have been so many fresh air releases from the fct ministers or presidency.

when things are done rightly you don't need a self praise. it's the people that will praise you. this APC administration is a failure. it's failed in all area, and there is none at all where it did it right.

The only refreshing aspect of Buhari government or any one under its authority is the frankness of their dishonesty.Tueh!

he needs to tell us how they've been able to generate an additional invisible 7,000 megawatts or there about, because at the last check, we still don't have a newly constructed genco that generates above 1000mgw

Dis one na wayo numba joor

*in Ruddy's voice: The light wey we get na audioooo!

lie from the pit of hell. this news was released to justify the propose deal to add Chad to Nigeria electricity grid...
not too far Osinbanjo onces claimed Nigeria electricity megawatt has dropped..

WHICH KIND LIE BE DZ NA

I think the right question to dis claim is that.. How visible is dis?

This space is for sale !!!

Lies to justify connecting Chad to the national grid!

Babzrockman:
But must everything be audio?

I can testify.

20 solid hours of light. 10hrs used to be miracle here.


My gen gas been out of work for a while now..


The bill is too much though.



I hope it has nothing to do with rain though. Before their power station will crash to 200mw again when there is no rain again.

And I have just solar added to my 22kva and 5kva generator. Mad dogs

Unbelievable.
