So...question.

How much electricity is this dam expected to generate?

And who do they plan to sell the electricity to? And for how much?

Will an investor be able to negotiate directly with Osun state for the electricity, or will it have to deal with the FG?

My own town is very close to Ijesha axis.

I would love to start a factory there and employ my people...

Hrm. It would be very good if this was for real.

But so many details lacking in this article..

Gbawe:

For God sake. Are you cursed ? Must you act like a vagabond never able to put hatred aside? Why don't you seek help for your malaise instead of spamming every thread with your bigotry and enduring hatred? Do you see us following SE or SS Governors around obsessively and mischievously? effing pathetic wannabe .

@Forum.

Haters and negative folks can say what they want.This is a legitimate project that Osun is running with UNIDO (United Nations Industrial development organization). Since OYES, Osun has benefitted from a lot of goodwill from developmental agencies always keen to partner with serious Government to improve employment, infrastructure, health and food security in developing Nations. At some stage, it will dawn on Nairalander that the likes of Beaf are destroying this forum. Look at other forum and see if they behave like animals as Beaf leads many to behave here. Ordinarily, these sort of topic should be discussed amiably if we are all genuinely interested in the progress of every corner of Nigeria. There is a lot everyone can learn about our nation if discussions remain amicable and educational.

It is even sad to see Wesley80, a chap with an analytical mind who used to do justice to threads with logical criticism, now turn mischief-maker because of the assumption it is now fashionable to be that way. Beaf is a cretin , with the mind of a 6 year old, who deserves only to be laughed off the forum for his childish antics. Him and his goons are turning this forum into the most divided, most hateful and most bellicose Nigerian forum in cyberspace. One would think most posters will be wise enough to avoid Beaf given the numerous times he has been discredited as an empty barrel and ignorant airhead.

UNIDO is assisting Osun with this because of the implication for the establishment of an International market. The agro-allied industries supplying the market and other associated industry (food processing for example) will need constant power to make the whole project a commercially successful one. The most laudable plans for industrial/agricultural development will fail if Governors can't find ways to secure constant power.

Why do you always sound so bitter and write long lines of hate-filled crap that no one bothers to read whenever your lies and high stories have been exposed? Lol!
You were the same pathetic clown that broke the quixotic tale of "free farmlands" and the pathetic tale of Osun states "massive dry season road contruction (with Julius Berger and 50billa worth of World Bank financial ammo)." Those are just a couple of your looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong list of lies that have been exposed.

Dude, don't you feel shame?

Anyways, how many megawatts is the phantom power plant?
While you ponder the answer, please join me and Sista Jeunsoke as we celebrate di pawa plant wen no get megawatt!

Chop'n! Chop'n!! Chop'n!!!

No be small tin o! 419 get levels!

Welldone, you have told us it will take a long time to bring goodies and we are waiting. It all starts with O-YES one day it will end with O-NO. Meanwhile thanks for the food (O-MEAL), students are waiting for the laptops please.

Actually, I assumed that they are building a dam of some sort. But is this true? Tbh I wish there were more details

See the change wey retardeenho dey plan to intorduce, they are all former thieves and crooks.

Nigeria: Jonathan to Reshuffle Cabinet

By Dave Oludare Oso, 7 May 2012

INDICATIONS that President Goodluck Jonathan may reshuffle his cabinet has emerged, The Moment has learnt. Among the people being considered by the president in a list he sent to the State Security Services for screening are former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo; ex-Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife; former Special Adviser on the Niger Delta, Mr. Timi Alaibe, former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), Hamisu Mai Rago; the immediate past acting National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Kawu Baraje. Others are former PDP National Publicity Secretary, Prof. Rufai Alkali; former PDP National Organising Secretary, Uche Secondus; former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Ada Okwuonu and former PDP National Legal Adviser, Olusola Oke

ekt_bear: So...question.

Very good. This will probably serve a catchment area primarily to aid commerce but I think residents will benefit also if I were to hazard a guess based on current power Osun gets from the grid and the notion of hydropower serving effectively one axis alone.

Of course if you situate your intended business in the catchment area then you should benefit from available constant electricity. Indeed you will be courted as a priority case. There may be interventional help available to assist you with land and other issues since you will be creating employment and wealth. My brother, trust me, it is not that difficult. If the Lebanese, Indians and others come to engage our Government directly and get what they want, there is no excuse for us not to get involved in an effort to develop our Nation.

If Aregbesola were a wise man, rather than viewing any electricity produced from this project as amala to hand out for free to everyone, he should use it to power factories and thus create jobs.

Osun + Ekiti population is probably ~6-7 million.

That is a pretty damn good market for anybody manufacturing, if he has access to cheap electricity.

Not even to mention that whatever you manufacture can of course be distributed elsewhere in Nigeria.

Ijesha Industrial Park is what he needs to use the electricity of this plant to build, imo

Though I really wonder how much electricity this will generate

So few details..

That, obviously, is the plan and this is why he is getting assistance from UNIDO. Those folks help the most when they think it is the "teach a man to fish" principle at work. Charity, for the sake of it, is dying in a burdened world.

If only you knew a thing about honour! What is sad is seeing you waste away trying to defend an incompetent govt. by feeding ignorant folks here with horseshit. To think people like you have the guts to criticize the PDP for the exct same thing that the ACN has become masters at.

NASENI has been selected as the Host Agency and the Representative of the Nigerian Government on the Project. While UNIDO awaits Nigeria's Counterpart Funding, Crossflow Turbine has been selected for the first production involving Nigerian engineers and using local technology. The first phase of the project is expected to produce and test prototype of Crossflow turbine within 12months from take off. The next phase is to mass produce the turbines which will be used to establish pilot SHP plants in selected African countries and eventually to service the SHP equipment demand for the African Sub-Region.

GBAWE, is this the same project Aregbesola is getting praise to the high heavens for? Is NASENI now an O-state Agency?

The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) was established in 1992. The establishment of the Agency by Decree No. 33 of that year followed the adoption by Government of the recommendations of the White Paper Committee on the 1991 Report of a 150–member National Committee on Engineering Infrastructure comprising Scientists, Engineers, Administrators, Federal and State Civil Servants, Economists, Lawyers, Bankers and Industrialists. NASENI, by its mandate and scope of operation is the Nigeria’s only purpose built Agency designed to conduct developmental work in the areas of manufacturing and as such, it is capable of coordinating the proliferation of technologies developed either within or outside of its Centres including patents obtained. Technologies so developed in the areas of spares, components and systems engineering are to be transferred to Entrepreneurs for the production of goods and services. Nigeria can have the benefit of a rapid technological development by strengthening NASENI

I eagerly await your response.

Gbawe has no shame in his life.
This is the same way they trumpetted to high heavens that Osun was buying rail coaches to run on federal govt owned lines! Next thing they will say Osun has bought 3rd Mainland Bridge or the whole of Maitama to help the FG.

Why do people like Aregbe and Gbawe lie so easily?

So it turns out the the project is another FG one and it is is for 15KW only?
Gbawe! Gbawe!! Gbawe!!!
Una wicked wella o!

All hail AregbeLIAR!

Smelt a rat from the outset. What should this project be tagged now? O-fraud abi O-lies? Shame! Shame!! Shame!!!

Why is beaf always anti-west and anti every policy of the ACN govs? Is he a NWC member of PDP who never see any positive with the progressives?

Can you not see what is terribly obvious? Even if this involves NASENI, how on earth can you discountenance the contribution of Osun that is directly needed for this to become reality? Pointless going back and forth with you because you have missed something very obvious.

While UNIDO awaits Nigeria's Counterpart Funding

Development agencies generally become active partners when counterpart funding, a measure of committment, is released. If Osun proactively supplies counterpart funding, why should it not lay claim to making the scheme succeed considering similar planned hydropower project elsewhere will never amount to anything, beyond being potential projects, without the financial committment of States?

Also, why can Osun not call this O-power when , via meeting its counterpart funding, it has effectively secured it own 'franchise'?

Read properly and you will see that NASENI was invited to perhaps provide technical project checks-and-balances. NASENI has not initiated anything nor has the FG. The onus is still on States to partner with UNIDO to make hydro projects work .

@gbawe, abeg tell them cos they are putting sentiments instead of reasoning and logic. Even the CBN does counterpart funding projects and there is a standard as to the modus operandi.

Oh plssssssssssss! Have some class Gbawe will you? What's this drivel? Didn't you read the piece and see the number of states that were "selected" for the project? Sometimes the honourable thing to do is bury your head in shame. To think you knew all of these but still preferred to paint this as an O - state initiative, pathetic!

Stop being an airhead. How many projects have died a painful death in a nation where lack of political will means many projects are not worth the paper they are written on? Why don't you show, here and now which States have provided their counterpart fundings and kick-started these projects? Also, show how these States have announced the project publicly. In so far as States have to provide substantial counterpart fundings, without which nothing will go ahead, you should show some class to agree that States can and must indeed take credit for this because their financial contribution is paramount and pivotal.

The FG is not helping them and neither is NASENI, more a watchdog, so what is your point? That a State that raises the money to implement a hydropower project should not claim credit for a scheme that would not exist without genuine political will and counterpart funding?

Perhaps you failed to notice the "smallest" plant is what's being built in O - state. A state that raises 300million to partly fund a 15kw plant - the least among a grp of ten should not foool its citizens into thinking its carrying out some huge Aregbe-initiated project!

The way Aregbe has been claiming all FG projects as his work is alarming indeed! 419 get levels sha!
At this rate, its just best for GEJ to directly govern Osun from Abuja, so that AregbeLIAR and his lying angel, Gbawe can make quixotic claims and tell high stories for kids.

This is the full article from the NASENI website:

Small Hydro Power (SHP) PDF Print E-mail

Small Hydro Power (SHP) Plants are used to generate electricity even from small water bodies. The Agency is developing capacity in the manufacture of SHP Equipments. It has been estimated that the total Small Hydro Power (SHP) Potential in the country could reach 3,500MW, representing 23% of the country's total hydropower potential. With this potential in SHP, there will be a growing demand for local capacities in the development of this technology in the nation.



In order to make small hydropower viable in Nigeria, there is a need to minimize/optimize the investment cost through the development of local capacity in construction techniques and equipment fabrication.



OBJECTIVES OF NASENI SHP PROJECT

To develop local manufacturing capacity on Small Hydropower equipment
To midwife the establishment of local manufacturing companies for electromechanical equipment / component parts for Small Hydro Power (SHP) Plants.
To midwife the establishment of Small Hydropower Equipment Development Institute
To survey the possibility of integrating Small Hydro Power plants in the large number of dams in Nigeria, currently used for water supply and irrigation only.



NASENI-SHP Â ; The Journey So Far



In the late 2007, UNIDO called NASENI to a Stakeholders Meeting on the Local Manufacturing of Small Hydro Power Equipment in the African region.

No need for long essays now, it's not Aregbe's project period. Imagine the number of people they will deceive with this. Aregbe provide free train transport during festive period, he started telling people he brought back rail transport to State of Osun. Kai kai kai, one thing Oyinlola & Akande will not do-telling lies.

My friend, you are now running from pillar to post. The information on NASENI's website is scant plus you are rather ignorant about power generation and measures of energy output. I warned you about how you will disgrace youself because you are now a mischief-maker and this predisposes you to not doing your research .

15KW literally is 15000 watts. Do you know what that powers? If you answer that then I can indulge you further. Suffice to say Osun is not making this announcement base on getting 15KW of power as you and your olodo co-traveller Beaf thinks. Below is a 15KW portable generator and only a m.or.on would think this is what Osun is making all this noise about. Shame on you and the ignorance you display here. What a tangled web we weave when at first we seek to decieve. Better contact NASENI so that they can quantify energy output for you properly.

So what is Osun making noise about then?
The 15KW turbine was munufactured by NASENI or does Aregbesola run NASENI too? Lol! With his past history of shameless lies and brazen claims to authorship of FG projects in Osun, that wouldn't be in the least bit surprising.

The turbine being installed in Osun is basically an FG research project into the feasibility of locally manufactured crossflow mini turbines. That is why it is only 15KW.

Aregbesola's cement filled brain must have equated 15KW with 15MW, so he quickly ran to press to claim it and sent out his most trusted OsunDefender reading winsh (your kind self) to come and fly around NL, telling fibs to defend tall stories.

A liars job must be reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally tough. I'm sorry for you Gbawe.

You should have include this from the first post, assuming nobody challenges you, we would all have believe not knowing it's a "mortgage".
