No pain here.

Just setting the stage to confront those who have always been irrational to think infrastructures are built with Chicken change.

Painment

Onyeigbo10000:
If inec didn't rig obi out.

Massiveglory:
Definitely a game changer.
A new Nigeria is POssible

StOla:
This project took almost 2 decades to complete just 181MW of electric power.

The Nigerian standard of efficiency and urgency is quite embarrassing.

Now those celebrating this will expect other state and federal governments to give them similar project in 1yr.

A private firm spent $800m for almost 2 decades to provide 181MW power to only 9 out of 17 LGAs in Abia state.

Again, those rejoicing will expect FG to spend only $100m to provide thousands of MW electricity within 1year.

Are we not an absurd bunch?

What's amazing is that this project was marked to take 250 million dollars, inflation took it to 800 million dollars.

If we arrest Abubakar Mallami and all the Buhari cabal. we will get 10 billion dollars and replicate this in many states. and let that be the starting point

VanuatuWycombe:


Yes. That’s what we advocate for from our armed r0bber state governors - both past and present.

If a state, including the FCT, can boast of, and generate 500megawatts of electricity, steadily, by 2027, we will have closer to 20,000megawatts in addition to those on ground.
Some states don’t need up to 500 megawatts. For DANGOTE to build over 430 megawatts for its refinery and petrochemicals, which can power the whole of Oyo State, it means there’s no state that cannot do it.
Let them do it and put it on stock exchange ti make their money back quickly. We will have a vibrant economy in no-time and a very competitive one for that matter.

Walai:
Abia people should set aside one day every year to celebrate that FUTO VC returning officer that refused bribe.
She saved the future of millions

TheBillyonaire:
The Electricity Revolution was followed by Industrial Revolution prior to Dot com era.

But in the Age of AI, Aba has made progress with Electricity, and may begin its own industrial and dot com era. Hopefully their grand children will pilot the AI age.

Other States in Nigeria are still under mental colonization, while others are still moving around with camels in the bush with ragtag trousers looking for farmers to shoot.

Congrats to the people of Abia. From zero to hero.

The working governor.

Eastern billionaires have no excuse again not to invest in the east, if they are truly sincere to invest in the east. Barth Nnaji put igbo interest first before putting his personal interest. Unfortunately investors from the east want to make quick returns hence the usual excuses they give.
Anambra has Nnewi, Abia has Aba. Other states should follow suit

adamusuleiman2:
Kudos to everyone involved plus the past PDP governors and the APC government. I remember Ikpeazu in sky blue shirt below traveling to South Africa for this project and Osibanjo helping them remove bottle necks in Nigeria along the way.

Easybet1:
Something you should have bring to Lagos and make cool money, you went to set it up in a village with little companies and poorest people that can't afford to pay the electricity bill.

StOla:


No need to dey shalaye.

At least you have proven you have the capacity to be rational.

So don't expect miracles from the government in months when you can tolerate a 17year project to provide power to only 9 local governments at the cost of $800m.
