Did you read the post at all? The senate passed that bill already, it was in the news earlier in the year. Investors are making moves already, that's why Ote$ dumped his FBN shares to go into the sector.

Man is going to join the billionaires' club soon cos there is massive potential in that sector once government stops fixing prices of utilities which they will eventually as IMF continues to mount pressure on subsidy removal
My bad...However,Passing a bill is different from it being a law which can only be done by the President and nothing has happened thus far hence the status quo still remains!

Microwhy:
Subsidise Solar panel and deep circle batteries so that the poorest can have access it.
Setup battery recycling plants where people can exchange their dead battery for a token.
Setup a task force team to oversee the subsidy and make sure it goes to the right channel and for actual purpose.
Setup a Special squad team in the Nigerian Custom to prosecute anybody wanting to smuggle the panels and batteries to neighbouring countries.
grin grin grin
So industries,services and commerce go run on solar panels abi?
We're complaining of the negative effects of subsidy and the corruption it breeds,you still want to add another one.
Who told you that task force won't be corrupt and biased in handling that task?
What of the customs that will checkmate it's export,what stops them from collecting bribes and let people export them?

What is holding the senate from passing the bill to decentralize electricity into law by pressuring the President to sign?
The real decentralization should happen in states!
Remove the electricity/power supply laws in the constitution from the exclusive list and place it on the concurrent list!
In other words,States should be empowered to build gencos(generating company),trancos(transmitting company) and discos(distribution company) or they can simply give licences to private power companies to provide electricity to the citizens of that state!
This will ensure that buoyant states like Lagos or rivers state will provide their own power without relying on the national grid that is always subject to frequent collapse!
Any state that cannot provide their own power can either continue with the national grid or tap from states with the funds or capacity to generate,transmit and distribute electricity!
I do not see the entire country having stable power supply using the national grid!
There must be division of labour and the states government must assume that responsibility to provide or give licences to companies to provide power instead of waiting for the FG to do such!
This is way to go, decentralization

But in Nigeria it is rocket science
Re: We Will Decentralise National Grid, Invest $550m To Boost Power Supply – Buhari by Moneyyman: 7:09am On Jun 22, 2022
Good step, albeit late.

Also force all state governors to start looking at generating electricity.

Those with natural gas should explore it.

Those with rocky and hilly areas should go for windmills.

Those with vast empty lands and strong sunshine should go solar.

Then let everyone start looking at using organic waste to generate electricity!


WTH! We can produce more than we need and sell the excess!

This man forgets that he has spent 7 years in government and he is still saying "we will, we will"

Talking as though he is still campaigning

How is the light situation in your area

If its good , sit at home

Obi may not be the best but he is better than the two old people who have nothing to offer

I suggest you read this....

Solving the liquidity crunch in the power sector.

And this quote from an article in Nairametrics...

.


Also, would you support a government agency setting prices for your business?
Both references are saying the same thing without an OBJECTIVE reason.

It's a pity that our government agencies are complicit in the corruption of price setting.

Unfortunately, for monopolies like electricity generation and petroleum supply services, a transparent means of cost estimation must be ensured as a DUTY by the government on behalf of the people!

Market forces play well only when there are alternatives. It brings to mind when telecommunications lines of MTN was sold at N30,000. Now, we buy the same SIM for N200.

Until electricity generation is completely decentralised, price control is a necessity!

I taught there was plan to start another grid by president Jonathan, if he wins second term, why did you not continue with that plan, instead, you started a gas pipeline to kano and a railway to Niger. Useless man.

You have all the monies, power and time and still can't do anything in 7years?

All very well, but so long as power is sold at a loss, so long as government sets the price, not the acutal companies, and so long as some people, rich, poor, government and private agencies and companies do not pay their bills.....all these are dreams, not reality.

We are shortchanging our power sector. Have been for decades.

Modifed

The Nigerian power sector, still in muddy waters...nairametrics.
“Most western countries are today implementing fuel subsidies. Why would we remove ours now? What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

“What our western allies are learning the hard way is what looks good on paper and the human consequences are two different things

These are things that should have been done since 2015 and not 9 months to the end of 8 years stay.
This was how OBJ too suddenly started waking up in the last year of his 8 years. Is this a curse or what?
