The Federal Government has announced a four-week deadline to complete the power transmission projects. The new deadline given to contractors was announced by the Vice-President Namadi Sambo at the 23rd meeting of the board of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Umar Sani, who was quoting the vice-president said that all issues hindering the transmission of power to Nigerians be resolved within four weeks.

A meeting scheduled for next week will have the Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement; Managing Director, NDPHC; Minister of Power; and other stakeholders, who would discuss on how to solve power transmission issues in the next four weeks.

He frowned on contractors who were slow in delivering their jobs, adding that all issues that would make them fast-track the projects should be resolved as well.

The NDPHC said that all projects should be at 50 per cent completion in July and consumers will enjoy stable electricity supply once the projects were finished.

Haha na today see this country boast a lot people just come out and say anything they like

Do they know that some area in lagos which is the most populous cities don't even have transformers it has either been blown up due to over capacity or theft of parts ,dem they there dey talk about steady electricity for only their estates Bleep all of dem may they burn slowly and die check out ghana even the poorest community even a slum have electricity 247 shame to nigeria

The topic is misleading. @op, Where did the FG say power will be stable in one month. Why not say it as it is. The FG has giving a deadline for completion of transmission project. Then we'll see where we go from there! That will definitely translate to improved power supply but there are still many factors to overcome. I have been in Edo and Delta states and power has really improved. Especially in Edo.

timpaker: Another Super Story from the FG

super story no be small.

na today

They said 4 weeks to complete the projects, completing the project does not translate into uninterrupted power supply as insinuated.

Infact this means I need to buy another 'I Pass my neighbour' join the 3 wey i get before!

Dat na dia own wahala. Just saw a bb status 5 mins ago, "bomblast in bauchi NYSC camp". Please help confirm it.

gbokukueba: They said 4 weeks to complete the projects, completing the project does not translate into uninterrupted power supply as insinuated.

So.. to you completing the project means what

No bi only one month deadline. na one year deadline. yeye ppl

They soooo wish! Mtchew!

Am I the only one that noticed it, they want to have meeting on how to solve transmission problem next week? Not that they already had the meeting and found out that the various problem would be solved in four weeks!
Even if they have the meeting in next week, and they are able to determine the problem, would four weeks be enough if the problem is huge, and by the way, a next week for meeting and four weeks for solution makes five weeks not four weeks that electricity may be stable.

Who wan enter 'Bettings'?..... I go drop 7k....one year from now light neva stable....if u ar against dis motion then drop ur money.

Story Story Story

No be today.....i think FG should stop toying with people emotions oooo

ah, i see, they said ''may enjoy'' i for say...

u knw what ur problem is? U believe anytin they tell u without comfirming wether its genuie or not.. On what basis are u comparing ghana to nigeria? Ghana generate only 3000mw of electrity as at last year and its enough for them becoz its a small country with small population.. Nigeria is generating about 4500mw at the moment.. Do u expect nigeria with population of over 150million to consume the same ammount of electricity ghana with 25million people comsume
ghana has only 3major cities, Nigeria has more 45major cities and u are still comparing the two countries... BTW Where did u get the ascertion dat the whole of ghana enjoys 24/7 electricity apart from acra...

Only fools and the ignorant Nigerians will even agree to this false statement made by thieves.
This story has been on since independence. Big fools.
