IS MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR, THE PRESIDENT THAT WILL FINALLY SOLVE THE POWER CRISIS?

IT'S STARTING TO SEEM THAT WAY.



..............

Nigeria’s Power Sector To Receive Boost with 25,000 MW from Siemens AG Partnership




The recurrent collapse of the power grid is set to be redressed by the Federal Government after President Muhammadu Buhari revealed an ongoing partnership with German Siemens AG.

The president gave the assurance at the 3rd Ministerial Performance Review Retreat on Monday in Abuja, while noting a timeline of 25,000MW to be added to the national power grid on completion of the project.

He added that the implementation of a ‘Willing Buyer-Willing Seller’ policy introduced by the Federal Government has opened up opportunities for increased delivery of electricity to underserved homes and industries.

”We are also executing a number of critical projects through the Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme, which will result in achieving the national goal of improved power supply by 2025.''

”It is important to state that the partnership between the Federal Government of Nigeria and German Siemens AG through the Presidential Power Initiative to increase electricity generation to 25,000 Megawatts (MW) in six years is on course,” he said.

He announced that the first batch of the transformers had arrived in Nigeria already.

Regarding the oil and gas industry, the president noted that he had signed the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) into law on August 16, 2021. This act established a legal, governance, regulatory, and budgetary framework for the Nigerian petroleum industry as well as for the development of host communities and other relevant issues..

You are an irredeemable dunce to think and believe that an increased MW will solve the current mess with the power sector under the decayed and non-existent distribution lines.

''Fix light''. Abracadabra. Wave magic wand! Light is ''fixed!''

Just like that! No planning, no investment, no contractors, no background work, no negotiations with stakeholders, no financing negotiations, no feasibility studies, no environmental impact assessment, no construction of anything, including transmission networks and a national grid neglected for decades, nothing.

Just ''fix it!''

Abracadabra!

Oh sure. I'm sure you would have ''fixed it'' in 3 months as president.

Armchair experts. If they give you the opportunity now, we will start to hear stories.

Buhari inherited a depleted economy suffering a severe recession after the oil price crash of 2015. His priority was stabilizing the economy after nearly 2 decades of PDP misrule and grand corruption.

In 2019 he signed an MOU with Siemens to start the project, and then the 'pandemic' slowed it down for 2 years.

Now we are back on track, and there is no reason why it should not be completed with success, like all the other infrastructure projects he has completed.

This is not PDP that budgets money for projects, and you'd never hear of it again (Diezaninomics).

Trains that they've been killed/kidnapped in or roads that are death-traps? Are you living better than you did before 2015? What about your loved ones, any meaningful progress that came through PMB's policy-drive?

Don't separate commonsense from passion when defending Nigerian politicians.

SHUT UP. What makes you think people are not benefiting from all these projects?

Will they line up in front of your house to report to you that they are benefiting?

Are Nigerians not getting work from all these infrastructural projects, or is it ghosts that are building all these things?

Is infrastructural development not among the best ways to generate employment for the masses?

So because a crime occurred on a train, it nullifies the building of the train network?

Keep reasoning like a mumu out of ethnic hate..
