Yes. By the 3rd quarter of next we go see tremendous improvement.

Also 40,000MW can't be wished into the country no matter how emotional we are about it.. It takes time.

Forget about how Egypt got over 20k MW in 4 years. Underground work happened before that 4 years.
Just like how this new Lagos Lekki seaport looks like it's happening in Sanwo Olu tenure (in 4 years). Whereas it's origin started more than 16 years ago during Tinubu's tenure.

Development takes time.
Agreed that development games time, but it takes unbearable time in Nigeria.

China built a bridge 3 times 3rd mainland bridge in like 4 years.

That is enough to power half a million homes.

Half a million homes you say, in a country of over 170million people.

It is Mambilla Hydro Power in Taraba state that will generate about 3000MW. This Zungeru project has always been 700MW generating capacity.

Ok.

kudos to the Buhari government. I visited this site before and during construction. I'am happy to see that the government remained steadfast in seeing this project through

Things are different in China than Nigeria.
It's hard and long to explain all these things.

I'm not trying to justify some of the stupid things out Government do. But the truth of the matter is you'll never understand until you get there.

Brother, I don’t know it was up to that. Can you list the 33 states that weee affected by floods in Nigeria and the remaining 3 that were not affected?

PAQ:
Someone should pls educate me (dont insult me this Sunday abeg) on why should only one state have four dams. Na only there water dey?

Yes. There’s where the body of water that can rotate such turbines are and it has topographical falls or undulating landscape that can rejuvenate the water power.
Engineers don’t just locate dams somewhere for political reasons. Lots of geophysical surveys would have been carried out and other tests deciding to choose such area.

If your plane is flying low across the River Niger during raining season, that’s when you will know it’s a very very huge river.

Not an easy project to pull off.

Nice one Buhari.

We can truly say, in terms of infrastructure, Buhari delivered.

The dam was 80% completed in 2015. It was a joint effort by GEJ/Buhari, but 700 MW is a stone in the ocean to Nigeria's energy requirements.

That's 500 thousand households.

How many people in 500 thousand homes?

Easily 2 million.

That's a huge number from a single project.

Government didn't say this is the final project on power.

That is why they keep blaming every Government that comes.
But when you understand things, you'd criticize less and applaud more often..

The function of Transmission is wheeling Electrical Energy from Generation to distribution and it is obvious that DisCos are rejecting most energy transmitted to them because they want to exploit customers through estimated energy bill and cause losses to the Generation. Transmission Company is always neutral and keep DisCos on their toes against energy rejection. TCN released data of September Energy transmitted to the DisCos and it is on record that DisCos rejected thousands of Mega Watt of Power because they don't want to pay at the detriment of estimated billing that is why DisCos won't easily allow metering system to work.
I wander why the FG can't give the DISCOS a timeline for them to give out Meters to people who need it

FG mandated them to meter consumers but they complain that they've no money. FG had agreement with one company in Ogun state for the production of mass metering and training of Young Engineers across 36 states and Abuja for the metering of consumers still the DisCos are hoarding the metters and selling them at outrageous cost dumped most of the trained Engineers when it is supposed to be free. They prefer estimated billing because it gives them room to cheat consumers and hide the actual energy clients consume. I think when FG remove subsidy of electricity sometimes this year that almost led to strike NERC and labour reached agreement that DisCos should improve the mass metering program but still things are going slowly though they're focusing on Kano, Kaduna, Abuaj, PHC, Lagos, Ogun, Ibadan among larger consumers and now extended to other states.
The major problem we have in Nigeria is bribery and corruption, the people that are supposed to enforce laws used to collect bribes and deceive both the Govt and citizens!

I will also blame Nigerians for the mess we are today.

People will trek and hold rallies for politicians, you will never see Nigerians coming out to protest against the DISCOS that are reaping us.

The FG needs to start fining the DISCOS for rejecting energy from TCN.

This is no achievement for the so called "Giant of Africa"

Ordinary Kenya has a bigger power plant from renewable energy (geothermal) yet the country has no oil resources.
