GEJ Launches Energy Saving Bulb To Conserve Power Supply by Nobody: 6:52pm On May 30, 2012
Nigeria’s president Goodluck Jonathan today formally launched the energy saving bulb, he said this would reduce the cost of energy.

He reiterated that it should not be misinterpreted that government cannot give Nigerians light,that is why he is launching the bulb.

“Even if we have abundant power we need it. Other countries have done it, the whole world is changing, they are phasing out the bulbs that emit so much heat to ones that save energy. It has nothing to do with our commitment to stabilise power in this country. We will continue to work hard to stabilise power”

He expressed displeasure on how Nigerians leave their bulbs without switching them off.

Minister of power, Barth Nnaji said the concept is to reduce electricity consumption,he said 60 watts bulb could be replaced by 10 watts bulb depending on the type of technology employed.

“it is a way to make more electricity available through saving and reduction in cost, because you are using 10 watts instead of 60 watts, you are in effect using just a small fraction of the power and it cost you much less in the end”.

He adds that the urban poor and rural dwellers are going to be paying less with the new tariff regime and this will further reduce their cost of electricity by this device.

However, he said the bulbs are in the market right now and government is partnering with companies manufacturing bulbs to start manufacturing LED bulbs.

The incandescent light bulb is being phased out by Developed Nations to conserve energy.
Why should our limited Electricity Supply be wasted inform of unneeded heat.

A very good move should be to educate the populace on the need to conserve energy and thereby reducing the cost they pay for Electricity.

GEJ wants to look effective. Well my advice is that he should start by fishing out corrupt elements in his government, that way, he wouldn't need to say anything about light bulbs, they would simply be like a cup of water in his ocean of achievements
