Very good move, if removing tariffs helps states to seek funding to generate electricity,then it is a good ripple effect...
But will the states subsidize their own electricity?

Subsidy again?
That's a capital NO

Re: 12 States Plan Power Projects, Anger Spreads Over Tariff Hike by success1smyn(m): 8:31am On Apr 05

nairalanda1:

The thing is, at the end, the other countries enjoy constant power because the sector was allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs.

I mean, the government allowed GSM to set their prices, and they were very expensive. (Some of us waited until Nitel came out with its own cheaper GSM service before we considered getting a phone back then). But it was precisely the fact that they were allowed to set their prices that we went from Telephones are for the rich in the 1980's to having even poor people own their phones.

Money breeds improvement breeds eventual cut in prices. Subsides is a nice way of helping the rich, when you think you are helping the poor.

You said my mind, I hate subsidy with passion. It's actually helping the rich in disguise.

If the other 36 governors we have had since 1999 perform as much as Lagos state governors have performed, Nigeria would be 100% better.

People just like taking a go at Lagos state when in actual sense it is the most performing state we have in Nigeria.

Lol if 36 states was former capital territory with access to sea ports etc you would have seen that Lagos is underdeveloped. If you think that Lagos is not a special state why don't the expertise of Lagos spread to Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo, Osun?
Even a toddler can rule Lagos going by it's IGR so stop making nonsense comparisons.

So true. People keep shouting 'Tinubu this, Buhari that' forgetting that their state governors have SO MUCH responsibilities which they are not performing on. Abia is showing the way with regards to power. EVERY state in Nigeria should have a domestic power programme, including the requisite legal backing for an internal power market, generation and transmission. People need to DEMAND more from their states and LGs. The days of waiting for Abuja to solve everything are over

The Fed govt is still holding onto The Transmission Network...
If the fed govt meant any atom of what they passed and signed into law, they would have given step by step plans on when and how the national grid will be unbundled n dismantle so states can start transmitting power from their various gencos...

Was Cross River not also a former capital? Does Abuja generate as much as Lagos?

And it is convenient as you have ruled out Oyo State which is the state that is the most beneficial of the ripple on effects of Lagos State.

I don't do this party or tribal nonsense with you guys, I speak based on reality. Most south Eastern and South Southern states get more allocation than Lagos can you without sentiments confidently say that development in those states is proportional to the allocations they get?

Remove your hate taint glass and you will see clearly.

My thoughts, exactly. So use!ess sets of people.

May be they will finish building the plants in 2082 when our generation would have gone.

States that can’t pay N30,000 minimum wage will now commit billions into power plant.

Those governors would rather launch it fanfare, stea! billions allocated to it and allow it to die in the hands of other governors who are coming.

Honestly speaking by, only Otti is the most SINCERE governor in Nigeria today. Ido not say he won’t stea! o. Or that he is not steal!ing o.
May be Soludo and Sanwolu will tie in second position. May be.

It’s not that Otti is doing the best thing o but among the worwor work our governors do under their 8 years, only Otti seems to be trying. Please don’t come for me o.

SanwoOlu has not hit the core area of Lagos states where his impact is really needed.
He is only doing signature projects.

There are projects that are ‘non-signature’ and would really turn things around for Lagos State.

@Gawat is here. He knows Lagos is not operating at its capacity.

Transportation and environmental degradation in Lagos are very horrible. Sanitation is …

Common mosquito control, Lagos State has never done it. Go and see dirty and blocked drainages, stagnated, smelly water everywhere.

No street-sweeping machines across all local governments - the whole of Lagos State. Some of those sweepers can be trained to operate them, when bought.

No firm environmental law enforcements.

Lagos State shouldn’t think that by doing Red and Blue Lines, it has achieved something big. It hasn’t.
There are lots and lots to touch that would bring Lagos State to an enviable status.

That's a brilliant post.

Just 2 days ago, I made reference to the use of off-grid and scalable micro and mini-hydro turbines in my convo with 2 posters here on NL. People are not thinking outside the box with regards to generating their own personal off-grid power solutions and keep complaining about high tariffs back in Nigeria.

Even scalable off-grid wind turbines have gained momentum in use globally for individual use in homes and communities.

Last but not least, I agree with you on your summations with reference to the many rivers in the West of Nigeria. Since 1982, the Federal Governmemt hasn't completed the construction of the hydroelectric dam project in Oyo State (Ikere Gorge Dam in Iseyin LGA) which would also have served as a source of dry season irrigation for agriculture in Oyo State and surrounding states. That dam project has been abandoned with the installed imported equipment from Germany since the 1980s and the current FG-led by President Tinubu has to finish it ASAP and other abandoned projects around Nigeria.

nairalanda1:

Oga, not everything is about tinubu. I never supported him or his predecessor okay.

But the discussion I am having, it has been made for decades. Since army rule self...since the 1980's. Nigeria pays too many subsides, and as a result we have bad service, because the affected sectors cannot make sufficent profits.

We are now at a point where the subsides are going because years of subsides have saddled us with a debt that is making it impossible for us to continue paying it.

The annoying thing is that stealing and budget padding is still happening,

SO, oga, rest. I am no APC supporter self.

Who cares about APC? You need to calm down yourself. Certain measures should be put in place before subsidies are removed. Is that too much to ask?

nairalanda1:

Decentralization won't solve the problem

It costs a lot of money to produce power, to pay for maintenance of power structures like gas generation plants, etc. That is why the power sector has to make a generous profit (yes they made one trillion last year, but as the experts said back in 2016, the sector needs something like 3 trillion yearly for 30 years, plus current debt owed to the gas companies is nearly 2 trillion naira)..which is why it needs to be allowed to set its price.

LIke they did in Ivory coast from 1993, which is why the last grid collapse there happened in the eightes.

Decentralization will solve the problem

You don't know anything about Nigeria's power issue. You're just here to cry about subsidy and tarriff as usual

There are countries with lower tarriffs than Nigeria and they have better power supply. Ghana is a very easy example to recall.

Nigeria's problem is the centralised grid we operate. A country as large as Nigeria has no business running a central grid. It is a legacy of our colonialists who are a smaller country and can therefore afford a central grid

Nigeria needs to regionalise its grid system and work towards a mesh topology or ring at least instead of the present star topology. This is a technical issue and not about money as you wrongly claim.
