kainji dam must be own by federal government. he cannot touch it

Raphael81:

It's good he said he is going to the supreme court . Lagos needs 13% from VAT too!

Exactly and custom duty from the border and Airport as well as from the port. We would equally tax inconvenience levy on immigrants that troops to Lagos

I have said it several times. Implement true federalism. Unbundle the national grid nonsense.

Every state should look for means to generate power or buy from a neighbouring state.

How can states in faraway North be supplying power to the south when the south has gas in abundance?

I tell you.

Stop capping
Gas is the main source of power in Nigeria
All the hydro dams in Niger contribute less than 22% to the national grid
Besides you can see the gov mistook hydroelectric for hydrocarbon. I strongly suspect he was high on something

True federalism will put an end to this nonsense.

Niger governor demands 13% derivation from oil revenue; threatens to shut down Kainji Dam, other national power infrastructure

“We demand compensation for our people. Everything, every resource that comes from Niger state, must be compensated."

This is getting serious oooooo.

TheNobleProphet:
Just look at these funny Northerners!

They want to "reap where they did NOT sow"!

F00lish governor.........water is NOT hydrocarbon!

North and entitlement 5&6, this is a govornor that does not even know what he is doing, state with potencial to be nigeria power house when it comes to rice

AsomughaChuks05:
For Nigeria to practise true federalism, a lot of states will have to be merged.

Though the Niger state governor is being disingenuous in this case because it is common knowledge that Niger state is part of a special federal government development agency created to develop hydropower producing areas known as HYPADEC.

Also it seems that the past and present Niger state governors are lazy waiting for free oil money when it has large areas of fertile agricultural lands waiting to be harnessed for commercial farming.

Which oil does Niger state have?
Maybe shea butter oil

Guyman01:
Niger State is more than Netherlands and Belgium combined in land size but cannot feed itself, (this is foe those who always say that South East has a small landmass,) most of the milk used by Mai Shayi to make tea in Nigeria comes from cows in small Netherlands while Fulani herdsmen slaughters the population to use their farm crops to feed their Kwashiokod cows.

I expected the hardworking Governor of Niger to ask Peter Obi how he planned to transform the state into a productive state during the campaigns with all those huge expanse of fertile lands wasting away but instead he is looking at more money from Niger Delta oil which NNPCL is already telling us is not available for Dangote refinery

guyman chukwuma how far.Peter obi should have transformed Anambra to a manufacturing hub first.
I grab the Governor's point but this is ridiculous

Empty threat. All this because power generation and distribution is in the Exclusive legislative list. If not, what does Rivers state need light from Niger state for, when gas abound?

engineerkola:
This is a clear sign that Nigeria needs to divide.

Kanji Dam is part of Gencos. If the governor needs money, he should get a percentage of what Kanji Dam makes as a Genco.

Asking for Oil revenue from far away Niger-Delta shows how wicked these people are. Unbelievable

He confused hydrocarbon for hydroelectricity

Provocative

HAHAHAHAHAHA!


IS THAT A THREAT OR HIM BROTHER.


SHUT DOWN THE DAM ABEG.


WE WANT TO SCATTER THE COUNTRY AND ANY HELP IS WELCOMED.


IF THEM BORN TINUBU WELL MAKE HIM GIVE UNA 13%.

In other words, let's restructure so that each state pays a percentage to run the fg and keep the rest of their generated revenue of all resources within their states.

Blue3k:
Lol he's talking tough fill the army meets him in the Governor mansion. Please Mr. Governor do it now. I want want to watch the spectacle in 4k.

Nigerian culture has become so lame when everyone wants to whine they're a marginalized victim. Lol what constitutional argument is he going to take to the Supreme Court. Why is he asking for oil profits instead of profits from the hydro power?

Because Niger delta oil dey en head, he can't sleep

Is this Governor aware that Kainji is only responsible for a fraction of Nigeria's power output today?

Wetin make the "Thermal" pipul from Ughelli, Sapele, Egbin, and other places come tok?

Not Niger Delta oil but 13% of resources from Niger state. Read well!

@op, you no try at all! Why this sensational headline? NOWHERE in the article did the governor mentioned OIL.Absolutely nowhere! He is simply demanding 13percent derivation from what he feels that the federal government is generating from his state. Whether he is right or wrong is for wiser heads to decide.

Not dumb, he is technically calling for fiscal federalism. The 13% is not oil money but resources from Niger State like electricity generated money

Ikaeniyan0:
Dumb statement

Abeg, shut am dawn quick quick. What else are you waiting for?

He is not asking for oil revenue but gencos

[color=#006600][/color]

I don't think that dam supplies the oil rich states in the south. I know of Ughelli gas station and I think one is present in Rivers state?
That Niger dam I believe should be supplying electricity to the northern and middle belts states.
I blame the oil producing states down south for being a good father Christmas to all
Just imagine if it were the north that produces oil?

From whose crude oil will Niger state be paid derivation?
They should start billing DISCOS that makes money from their DAM.

South West

Will closed

All

Boarder

Too.

Governor cannot tell the difference between hydroelectric and hydrocarbon.

Which hydrocarbon does Niger state produce?
