The workers are protesting that an Accountant (Mr Usman Mohammed) who has never worked in the Power Sector should not be appointed to take over from a certified PhD Engineering practitioner (Dr. Abubakar Atiku) in such an important parastatal like TCN.
Putting square pegs in round holes is one key reasons the country is dormant.

1) Mr Usman worked in TCN before moving to ADB
2) MD of TCN is an administrative role not a technical one. The head of IMF is a Lawyer, the president of the World bank is a Medical doctor.

Learn to differentiate between technical and administrative roles.

SalamRushdie:
Do you know what a weeks suspension can cause between a creditor and vendor in these times of unstable naira ?

Nothing the world hasn't seen before.

SalamRushdie:
Another Buharistic type leadership based on all brawn and no brains , watch as this sensationalist will bring TCN to its knees in the coming weeks ..He suspended all purchases orders including genuine and critical ones needed in time to improve power supply ..A good leader will take his time and study the orders to know which is strategic to the timely success but a Buharist will show up tense the whole industry up by announcing a blanket suspension of orders which will in turn tense up creditors to TCN vendors and make things worse

If you can read, you'd see that the suspension of payments was for a week.

This is the reason we don't have power in Nigeria, everything is politics to them.

Untainted007:
Hmmmmm, I hope it's not too late to correct this. When Unilorin was setting the standard then, people were saying it's a secondary school, but today, Unilorin has achieved proper dressing code to an encouraging standard. But in Unilag, its already part of the students' way of life, now they want to do the necessary. Let's wait and see if they will adhere. I'm always proud to be a product of UNILORIN.

And what has Unilorin added to the advancement of science in Nigeria(Lets leave the world for now?).

Drversatile:
Removing an Engineer and putting someone from finical house as MD of TCN. And Nigerians will expect improvement in power? I weep for my country

The work of the MD is administrative not technical.
Dangote owns Cement factories but he isn't an Engineer.

You don't have to be a Doctor to own a hospital, you don't have to be a doctor to head a hospital.

I support the TSA 100%.
The banks get free money from the government and rather than use the money to help small business via loans and grants, they use it for trading forex and the likes.

Let the banks start doing real banking, if smes grow, the banks would naturally grow.

Why do we have dunces in the senate? Legislation of prices is a bad idea. Every man, his dog and cat knows why cars both toks and new are expensive.

Alphaoscar:
Nigerians have every right to protest against any bad government policy and I support 2baba on this.

You are wrong bro. Nigerians have the right to protest against any government, good or bad.

adem30:
I know you are dumb, but I will still help you.

The said house was the one your Hero awarded which, Pro. Yemi Osibanjo termed as waste of money.

Next time, try to understand before showing your ignorance

abu12:
that contract was awarded during goodluck jonathan regime

Correction, it was awarded during Yar'Adua"s term.

MrWhaley:
You see all these traits in him and you are still coming online to seek approval about dumping his lying, deceitful ass?? Whatever happened to common sense?

Pftt!

Bro the recession affects everything.

It's a dog eat dog world. Innovate or die.

The only way to force food prices down, the to produce more.
Simple case of demand and supply.

These guys in IYC are jokers. Anyone with a brain would have seen this move coming.
Shell has been divesting all their interest in the Niger Delta for over 5 years now, and this guys are just realising it?

Are you talking of the Egypt were the Israelites were slaves?
Oh boy go and buy an authentic Bible.

Mr President campaigned on stamping out corruption. He should have warned his loyalist on the implications of getting caught (I didn't say being corrupt because that's impossible).

He should fire the SGF or the so called anti corruption war becomes a ruse

safarigirl:
I'm conjunction with Arabs....then again, their people are mentally unstable as well

More toddlers have liked Americans with a gun than terrorist.
So maybe if Trump wants to make America safe, he can ban guns or toddlers.

Shafiiimran99:
What is/re ur evidence/s that 911 bombers were Saudi Arabia? re u too sure of what u re sain?

Google is your friend.

kaluxy007:
Cos they're not of much threat to US

Osama bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia.
90% percent of the 9/11 bombers were from Saudi.

Are you sure you know what you are saying?

blazer234:
Well, you also included terrorist attack as part of cause of death. At least Trump is removing one of the causes of death in the United States. If someone says he doesn't want you in his country, you should do back to your country

Trump should lead the way, he's wife is an immigrant, he's grandfather was an immigrant.

By the way, number of Americans killed in the US by people from Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Sudan is 0
On the other hand, Saudis weren't banned. The Muslim capital of the world..... May be it has something to do with Trump having business in Saudi...

Onopa:
Get over it cry babies..

He is trying to make America safe again

Not his fault Obama bomb the hell out of middle East

Lawn mowers have killed more Americans in the US than terrorist in the last 10 years.

Americans have killed more Americans than terrorist since like forever.

If Trump wants to make America safe, he should ban guns ...

freeze001:
Mr Daftus is as tribalist and bitterly vengeful as Trump is supposedly racist n bitter. In fact there is no basis for comparison between both; How dovish compare a dull weakling who has only fed off the government all his life to one who is a multi-billionaire in his own right?

Buhari fed off the government, Trump fed off his father.

No sensible person can bankrupt 6 different business.
Trump is the first man to run a casino at a loss. Unbelievable.

kettykin:
The question is will US military, and police start shooting down unarmed voters and pollers in this incidence that is aimed at truncating the unity and oneness of the United States

The US police has been killing unarmed people for years....

omogidi234:
Not sure Trump thought about this!

Trump doesn't have the capacity to think

Afam4eva:
We keep talking about justice and fairness but all the actions the government takes, says the opposite. Since i've been seeing budgets of rail lines from Lagos to Kano, Lagos to Ibadan, Kano to Kaduna, i'm yet to see one from Enugu too Porthacourt and from Aba to Asaba or something or even a rail line that connect Lagos to the east. Why's everything going up north.

There's actually supposed to be a rail line that connects the south I.e Lagos - Ibadan - Benin - PH - Otuoke

PS: i missed some routes.

Update: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/07/fg-ccecc-sign-mou-11-12bn-lagos-calabar-railway-project/

Shell has been divesting their investments in Nigeria for a while now. I'm pretty sure the goal is to manage only offshore sites.

Firstcitizen:
El Rufai's statement is ambigous. The debt could be justice. He never asked anyone to commit murder. This guy is feeling the heat hence all this baseless defense.

The apostle should better talk to he lawyers because there's no way anyone can call El Rufai's tweet hate message.

Adminisher:
.This is a very BAD combo. Actually very stupid.
These are fucking technocrats. They cannot do the job.
I don't understand what you kids think political leadership is about. Very amateurish , childish thinking.
Let me confuse you more -these two are intelligent, astute, knowledgeable, efficient, institutions-savvy ....but they will both FAIL as President and VP of Nigeria.

We had this kind of line-up during ING, Abacha and Diya removed them within 11 months and they actually 'redigned' their administration to them.

The failure will be so bad, it will take years to explain how it happened.

989900:
Yes, I agree, but the people have had too much already.

Comparatively, tariff in 9ja is one of the cheapest I know of, but let the providers find a way to shoot first.

There are no guarantees there will be improvement in service even when they increase tariff.

MTN or Glo for example can't ask us to pay for non-existent service; not to mention increasing tariff.

The truth is most of the guys who bought the power firms didn't know what they were getting into. They thought it was going to be smooth sailing.

Another issue is selfishness. They (the power firms) can raise money by selling equity to capable companies.

Raising tariffs is the way out.

989900:
Provide the power first, then we will gladly pay.

Chicken vs Egg situation.


They need money to provide power.......

Geniro:
Did you even understand his post ?

That the work of an Engineer is to award contact.

kin8744:
Why will a lawyer be entrusted with the duty of an Engineer? It Will take him four years to understand a simple BEME. Again, how can you award a contract without a feasibility study/report. This case is beyond Financial corruption, it is MORAL CORRUPTION

Are you telling me the work of an Engineer is to be giving out contract?
