Following the emergency meeting convened by the Honorable Minister of Power, Engr Abubakar Aliyu, on March 1 4th 2022 towards the restoration of normal supply of electricity supply nationwide and the development of a framework for sustainable improvement of supply, we are pleased to apprise consumers with an update on the progress so far made to address the recent challenges in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.

The Nigerian public may please recall that the national grid lost about 1,100MW generation capacity as a consequence of simultaneous disruptions in gas supply to the Okpai, Calabar and the Afam VI power plants. The available generation capacity was exacerbated by the ongoing water management regime at the Kainji, Jebba and Shiroro power plants. The progress so far made includes, amongst many
other initiatives, the following:

(i) The gas pipeline affected by acts of vandalism has been restored and the Okpai power plant has resumed power generation and currently contributing an average of 300MW.

(ii) The Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Pl has been directed to enter into fast-track negotiation with NAOC on an interim energy sales agreement with a view bringing the new Okpai Il power plant on the grid thereby contributing additional 400MW of generation capacity.

(iii) The "pigging" of the gas pipeline supplying gas to the Odukpani power plant is scheduled for completion on March 21 st 2022 thus ramping up
generation by about 400MW.

(iv) In order to optimise the capacity utilisation of the power plants owned by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Ltd (NDPHC), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved a special gas pricing for emergency contracting of gas from the Nigerian Gas Marketing Company Ltd. We expect an on-grid improvement of about 800MW generation capacity from the NDPHC plants.

(v) In the medium-term, we have agreed with NGPIC (...a subsidiary of NNPC) on the framework for the overhaul of the Okoloma gas processing plant thereby restoring the full capacity of the 650MW Afam VI combined cycle power plant.

(vi) While the recent spate of system collapse is regrettable, it was a direct consequence of a snap on a 330kV transmission line. The mitigation measures for avoiding such incidence of blackouts are being implemented through several interventions including the Presidential Power Initiative.

We wish to reassure all electricity consumers that all relevant agencies involved in the restoration of normality in power supply have been charged to act in the context of the emergency state of the industry. The Federal Ministry of Power shall continue to periodically update the nation on the progress.


Engr. Abubakar D. Aliyu, FNSE, Honorable Minister of Power. 19th March 2022

Thandiubani:
Very useless politicians. In 2022, we can’t generate mere 10,000kw of electricity. For over 60 years, no government has been able to provide steady power in this country. What a curse! Countries abroad having steady power, are they governed by magicians? Who did this to us? How can we not be able to have steady power for the past 60 years eh! This is terrible. Hot tears

Nigeria is the only country where gross incompetence will be rewarded with promotion.

A whole country got bad product of petroleum that destroyed cars, engines, led to queues, hike, untold hardship yet Noone is sacked and prosecuted, noone resigned.

Every government allocates money for "turn around maintenance" of refineries and pay BILLIONS for consultancy and payment of salaries NNPC workers yet they cannot refine even groundnut oil.

Every government allocates BILLIONS for electricity but electricity remains rocket science to us. Yet we keep recycling useless politicians.

We pay taxes for absolutely NOTHING in this corntree cos as a citizen you'll provide your own electricity, water, security and basic amenities for yourself. So what exactly does the government do for us apart from chopping our taxes and natural resources?


Calling this country a zoo is actually an insult to the animal kingdom cos even some animals have shame and integrity

NaijaCowFarm:
Useless people. For 8 years Buhari and his ministers of darkness did not add a single power plant, yet they were busy accusing PDP of non-performance.

Where the else while minister of Darkness self?

Is there any time electricity supply has ever been normal in nigeria?

cp3o:


This present junta and the word "best" are as far separated as night from day.

WoundedLamb:


The word "normal" is relative. In Nigeria, the frequent power outages could be termed "normal".

redsun:


I got your point loud and clear. The problem among africans is that they think they are good enough to keep on top of even the basics.

WoundedLamb:


Well, I don't know about that.

Toktee:
You ought to have debunk his claims or allegations with hard facts not insults..... What did think changed in power sector since the coming of Buhari aside tariff increased.

buckeyemedia:
The tariff increases were signed under Jonathan, President Buhari even tried by delaying it a few times.
