It's 2017, what you know trumps what you study except for professions were you need a license.

vedaxcool:
This are not petty procedural issues... the investigation is faulty and cannot be relied upon to indict anybody. You failed to invite the parties involved to even question them and know the extent to which they are culpable by laying the facts of your case before them yet you quickly label them corrupt afterwards. I personally don't have favorable disposition towards that babachair guy but it doesn't mean such poorly investigated case should be used in nailing his coffin. I have always told people who cared to listen that by failing to invite him to their public hearing they succeeded in wasting their time.

Did you miss the part were it was stated that a letter was sent to the SFG and also that advert in the news paper?
Did you also miss the part were Dasuki was arrested based on an interim report also?
If that is good enough to arrest Dasuki, it should be good enough for Lawal.

Mr Lai is jobless.

RounDVisio:
You should try and read it, though highly controversial, it seems to have some disastrous element of truth not just for us but for the future.

I read it and its rubbish.

If only Nigerians spent the time using to come up with such rubbish to do productive things.

Funnicator:
Why didn't ecowas do to Nigeria what they did to the Gambia after IBB refused to concede defeat to abiola

1) IBB did not contest so there's no way he could have conceded.
2) In 1993, there was no AU.
3) After the annulment, IBB stepped aside.
4) Nigeria is Ecowas .

The chairman and members of the Board, other than ex-officio members, shall-
(a) be appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister
That is the act creating the NPA



the commission shall consist of seven full time commissioners appointed by the President subject to confirmation by the senate

This is from the NERC act. Can you spot the difference when it comes appointment?

Also a commissioner cannot be removed without a simple majority of the senate.

bishopkay:
This picture should be enough to educate you. Don't bother to thank me...you are welcome.

Check parent agency.

From Wikipedia? Seriously?

Check preceding agency and tell me if NERC and NEPA are the same.

You should read the act creating NERC

larryberry2000:
at least he is not reading it from a paper like our Nigerian leaders , even their names they read It from paper!!

He's reading from a teleprompter.

bishopkay:
Bros you have still not answered the question.
WHO RUNS OVERSIGHT ON NERC?
I know their mandate already. You said they are not under the ministry of Power so please educate me on who oversees their operations. Or are they just a rogue organization with no one to check activities and excesses?

The President.

ndubueze92:
Mr sabinus..... inasmuch as it is a home affair to them.... but they invite guests... make ur own research...

They don't invite sitting Presidents.

bishopkay:
Nigeria is a lawless country; reason why things as you said up there happens. That the minister doesn't wield the big stick on erring companies doesn't mean he can't.
So Mr.. .who runs oversight on NERC If NERC isn't under the ministry of Power. Please educate me

"The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) is an independent regulatory agency which was inuagurated on 31st October 2005 as provided in the Electric Power Sector Reform Act 2005.

The Commission is mandated to carry out:


The monitoring and regulation of the electricity industry
Issuance of licences to market participants, and
Ensure compliance with market rules and operating guidelines."

bishopkay:
Who do you think runs oversight on NERC? Fashola has the responsibility as the minister of darkness...sorry ehm... Minister of power to ensure the gencos produce enough power, the transmission gives to distribution and that distribution doesn't dump load. He also reserves the power to sanction any erring bodies. He can be likened to the cbn governor for power.

So look for another excuse please. This one just got busted.

Minister power == Minister of Finance
NERC == CBN.


If a Genco doesn't produce anything, what will Fashola do? Fire the CEO?

Besides NERC is not under the ministry of Power.

Small info to ignoramuses like you.
AES has not generated 1MW for close to a year or even more than because Sahara Energy refused to give them gas. When Egbin was owned by the government, the minister could issue a directive and it would be done, but now it's in private hands, all the minister can do beg and nothing more.

So about 200MW is not generated because Sahara is trying to buy a company that doesn't want to sell.

jusRadical:
Since you know, why are you defending him?

Defending who?

idupaul:
He got gas to reach uncommisioned them all plants from OBJ era and got them running ..You just said Fashola is in charge of Transmission and now you are saying it not his call , you are confusing me oo

Can you point the power plants he got gas to?
Fashola is in charge of transmission, they can only transmit what is generated....

amarilo:
If this is correct why did Fashola make the 6 months statement.

You should direct that question to Fashola, he made it not me.

Start from the basics....
1) Be truthful in all things
2) Be orderly without being forced to
3) Stop thinking we are smart because if we were, our country would have been great




..........

idupaul:
So how many extra MW HAS Fashola added to transmission ...the answer is zero, on six months Barth Nnaji added about 2000 Mws to the grid

Barth Nnaji added nada......
You can't build a power plant in 6 months so were did Barth Nnaji get the 2k MW he added?

Its not Fashola's job anymore to add MW's, that's for private investors and that side is controlled by NERC.

idupaul:
Now he will appreciate Barth Nnaji

Not really..
During Barth Nnaji's time, the minister was in charge of generation, transmission and distribution, Right now, Fashola is in charge of Transmission only and that has been out sourced.


Right now, Nigeria doesn't need a minister of power.

Themandator:
It is not only gas that is used to generate power in Nigeria .....there is coal powered plant and kainji dam is water driven not gas and the report say they all failed

System collapse has nothing to do with the mode of power generation. A system collapse happens when a failure in the system forces other power plants to shut down in order to protect their equipment.

ritababe:
you mean like they destroyed Lybia?

Libyans destroyed Libya, the just had some assistance from the West.

DLuciano:
all of you supporting GMB are mofos, how can a president be breaking democratic tenets and you are there saying I support him. No body says he is wrong to deploy troops to Gambia, but should be done according to the law that brought him to power. remember, what goes round must surely come around!

Nobody is breaking the law. Nigeria is not at war with Gambia. The soldiers were sent for an Ecowas mission.

Understand the difference.

Afam4eva:
Does it imply that a Nigerian President is too powerful for a coalition of African countries to remove?

Sort of. We are too big for Africa. No country would want to spearhead such efforts because reprisal would be deadly.

Afam4eva:
It's not really abut Jonathan but about Nigeria. Would a military incursion be taken if a Nigerian president refuses to step down? Like, who will dare? Are they trying to take down Jammeh because they geel that "The Gambia" is a very small country? What possible scenarios would have played out if Jonathan had towed the path of Yahya Jammeh for example.

The UN would have removed him. At the time of the election, A US warship was stationed in Ghana.
If violence broke out, they would intervene just like they did in Libya.

Tomorrow one Idiot will come and say the Fulani's are the problem with the Niger Delta when we can't keep our own house in order.

The Olu should be asking how the school will benefit his community not how the land was acquired.


We can't keep beating around the bush debating unnecessary stuffs like how the land was acquired.

Well Rev King killed in the name of God.

ScotsReferendum:
Tell that dull President to entrench True Federalism aka Resource Control, State Police, Supremacy of State Law, etc

If you were smart, you'd know the President doesn't have such powers.

Call your Senator to start the process.

You can even sponsor a private bill.

Abrupt:
C'mon! The headline was what led me wrong. Plus the article was kinda too long to read.
'

A long article never killed anyone

Ogu83:
But they promised to reduce cost of governance and government spending... Mmh this is definitely not the change we voted for

ifyalways:
This people are heartless!!!

Drove out to get milk this evening and a small tin of powdered peak milk is now 1400 ngn. and someone who promised change is renovating a house with 7B

Abrupt:
Great. After all the years he spent in church listening to the 'Word Of God' he ended up like every other greedy politician. Nigeria leaders are hopeless.

Read to understand and not to reply. It is clearly stated in the post that
"The project has been abandoned in the last five years owing to disagreement between the Senate and the Federal Capital Development Authority on the variation of the project.

The contract was awarded in 2009 at a cost of N7billion but N6.215 billion was paid to the contractors."
