Well, the ayes were 298, nays 2, meaning the mallams in the House voted unanimously for it.

Seriously, give up this bigotry.

Grid decentralisation should be embedded though...individual states generating power for anyhow national consumption would defeat the purpose of the bill itself

Yeah. States should only remit their excess power to the national grid.

Long term, it could get better( considering most Southerners support the bill and are happy, I daresay most Northerners too back it)

Though for me, the main problem is that new law or no new law, the power companies need to be allowed to set their prices for the power they produce, not the government. That is the main issue.

Wow. I'm starting to like these later days of buhari. The LGSA autonomous bill and now, this, I'm impressed.

This is a step in the right direction and hits at the core of our problem.

Yet people from all these places are packing themselves to ibadan, ogun state and akure looking for better lives. Let's not even talk about lagos. There's nothing in Delta, Asaba and Onitscha asides olosho work and dales girl. How many jobs posting do you see in these cosmetic cities? Come to ibadan let's show you life. Keep deceiving yourself on nairaland. Ikeja as a city pass all these places combined.

Private individuals and companies can generate power...and do so by forming private companies called GENCOS.

Prof Barth Nnaji, for example, owns a GENCO.

I never knew this. What's the name of his GENCO?

This bill is overdue. NEPA on their own knows they are not capable of solving this electricity problem. That is why they are only trying to satisfy only areas that they persive can pay bills and have prepared meters. For areas they have categorized as debtors, light going off for 3 days is normal.

I believe NEPA should have even sponsored this bill. The way former NITEL made Telephone a service for the rich, NEPA only want to serve the rich areas. Once other entities can generate and distribute power, life should be better for the populace

Is it only to generate?
Without distribution, what is the point.
What is the point of a farm when you cannot get to the market.

That is the key.
States like Rivers and Bayelsa and even Lagos for a short while had commissioned power plants, but without the ability to translate them into viable businesses all folded up.

True federalism is the path to Nigeria sustainability and Greatness.
State self sufficiency, state resources control and management, state police and jurisprudence on existing federal dominant and tightly gripped Authority.
Moving things from the exclusive list in our constitution.

A,way for a new Nigeria
We are making gradual progress. This is why democracy is good, the constitution keeps evolving. Local governments have been given financial autonomy, the next step is for states to seek financial autonomy. We are making progress.

You people just condemn anything and everything. Don't you know the meaning a of bill ? Nobody has to work it out or prevent from working. For a very, very long time, the North had not wanted to allow this. Any state that's ready is free to get into the business of electricity generation, distribution and sales. You people just think that restructuring will just come overnight. It's a walk. This is how we will walk it little by little to get there.Go and study American political history and constitutional development. You're going be surprised. Surprised, I say.

Your brain is so sharp.

Exactly the same thoughts I had.

The next thought was "Look at what our lawmakers are doing in 2022.

While Elon Musk, one man is planning how to colonise Mars.

God, when will we have an assembly with the average lawmaker a 45yr old graduate who has had a successful career (NOT as a politician) with international exposure as well?
