The bill is still nor explicitly stated regarding the place where its been stated that, state will be "directly" responsible for the generation of their own electricity, or they will be responsible for transmission and distribution of electricity only. If going by what I read previously, in the assertion that we generate enough electricity, that only transmission and distribution is the problem. Then I believe that states should be responsible for the infrastructure for transmission of electricity, and also state should be handed the power to organise the distribution, by making sure more discos are set up for proper distribution, but this can only be possible, when the infrastructures are already in place.

Jonegonu:
how many power plant is there in port harcourt

backbencher:


Government does not generate power.

GENCOS do.

Parachoko:
I don't understand you

Are you saying states will not just generate but also distribute?

Decency2020:



Who owns the dams?

Be deceiving yourself there

Retired army generals and old politicians will masquerade themselves in one name and be deceiving the gullible since 1960

backbencher:


Private companies.




You really don't have to let your emotions get the better of you.








Well, form your party and run for office, and I may vote for you. I don't like APC or PDP, never have voted for them, and don't want to, and I think you might be better than the retired generals and stuff.

Decency2020:




Private companies own the dams. Well you are well learned .


Thank you

Ttalk:


Unless if what I use is no longer electricity. More cheaper, stable, reliable and lasting.
Don't buy the dummy Nigerian government and PHCN is selling, they only giving excuse for their incompetence

Parachoko:
DISCOS don't generate light, they only distribute.

The problem now is that, state might generate, but discos will fail to buy most of what the states are generating

There should be a bill that will make more distribution company start operating as DISCOS too

I might be wrong though.

backbencher:


Thank you.

Decency2020:



I don't need it because I know I am older than all those frauds.



FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN'T GENERATE POWER BUT PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS.

Starberg:
The National Assembly passed the bill for State to generate their electricity.

These are my views:

1. This will break the monopoly of Discos
2. The State Governors will have no where to hide their inadequates.
3.The people will know whom and where to lodge their complaints.
4.The state governments would want to compete with one another by looking into other source of power like solar etc.
5. Price of services will fall like barbing, photocoping etc.
6. Investors would want to invest in states with adequate electricity supply
7. It will be used as one of the criteria to judge a parforming Governor.
8. Las las Ghana will stop mocking us with light
9. Less attention will be focused on fuel.

jmoore:
There will be no significant changes if we still have mediocre governors.

Nothing stops government from having refineries in their states. [/b]But how many governors in Nigeria built a refinery?

angelfallz:
The bolded, you mean nothing stops state governments from having refineries?
If that is what you meant, you're wrong. Natural resources in Nigeria are not controlled by the state governments but by the federal government. So, for a state to have a refinery they have to take permission from the federal government.
This is why restructuring is needed. States can't do much until Nigeria is restructured. You can read more on how we got to this level in the article below

Is Dangote refinery owned by Federal government?

gaddafe:


I dare you to provide a link to the bill and let's analyse it. The house of Assembly does not have the power to use the word "any means they feel like". Rather states will only generate power with the approved means of generation which will be approved by the federal government. Also that's not even the main issue here as I didn't quote you. Power sector is divided into generation, transmission and distribution. If the house approved state for generating power, it means the federal is still in charge of the other two sections. I bet you didn't know this. Please think we'll next time before quoting me.

Is it owned by the the Lagos State government? Did you skip the part where I said permission from the federal government needs to be obtained?
Dangote got permission from the federal government and Lagos State was happy to host his refinery.
