iterator25: like play like play we don de near 10000MWYeah, that's the zeal. |
ogb5: ok.I am not saying total, power will be reasonably stabilised in the country. That's the fresh air statement from our dear President GEJ. |
The commissioning of the 500megawatts Phase II Omotosho power plant by President Goodluck Jonathan shows a clear demonstration of the commitment of the government to solve the power problems through the provision of reliable electricity supply to the country. With this inauguration, two of the 10 power plants under the Niger Delta Power Company, NPDHC, have joined the league of the existing power plants contributing to the national grid. The first to be inaugurated was the 434 megawatts Geregu power plant in Kogi State. It also underscores the importance the government attaches to boosting the nation’s economy, through employment opportunities can be created if there is stable and reliable power supply. The next destination for power plant inauguration would be the 750 megawatts Olorunsogo power plants. By the time this is done the NIPPs would have contributed about 1,684 megawatts to the national grid. Speaking while inaugurating the 500MW Omotosho II Power Station built by the National Integrated Power Project, NIPP, in Ondo State on Saturday, the President Jonathan said that with the ongoing privatisation in the power sector, the issue of stable power supply will soon be a foregone conclusion in the country. Noting that the Nigerian Bulk Trader has been funded with about $750million to enable it to effectively execute its mandate, he stated that arrangements were also on to effectively fund the Nigerian Electricity Liability Company, to enable it effectively assume liabilities associated with the privatisation of the PHCN successor companies as well as other liabilities and other related issues. “We promise that before the middle of next year, power will be reasonably stable; I am not saying total, power will be reasonably stabilised in the country.” He said the commissioning of the Omotosho plant was part of government’s efforts to provide adequate, reliable and sustainable electricity supply to “our country men and women,” noting that by the middle of next year, any challenge experienced in the power sector would be short term and no longer endemic. The President added that the target of government was to add 4700mw to the existing power generating capacity with the commissioning of all the 10 power plants being built by the NIPP. But James Olotu, the managing director of NDPH, in his remark said that the country is witnessing another wonderful fruit of the hard work, determination as well as uncommon will and wisdom of Mr President to see through the difficulties affecting the NIPP; lead and join forces with the states and local governments of Nigeria, revive and re-invigorate NIPP when it ran into stormy waters with its funding arrangement from the Excess Crude Oil Account between 2007 and 2009, a situation that nearly resulted in its demise. He said the President physically and personally led his team to the major project sites and ports thus facilitating resolution of transport issues, road inadequacy matters, port clearing decongestion, fast project certification and settlement culture; regular project management meetings to clear and resolve other relevant issues. “This is gladly one of the reasons we are here today, to celebrate your making of history in the power sector of Nigeria, the adding of another 500MW power to the good people of Nigeria in support of your Transformation Agenda for this great nation.” He said nations with more power infrastructure have always been the better and wealthier ones Ceteris-Per-Ribus. “Indeed, history will record that never have we had it so good, to successfully commission the addition of two brand new power plants adding about 934MW within 16 days of each other while basking in the successful privatisation of the erstwhile Power Holding Company of Nigeria with the expectation of more to come in the next few months from today. The contract for the construction of this second phase development of the power plant at Omotosho (Omotosho II) was initially executed with the contractors, Messrs China Machinary & Engineering Corporation (CMEC) in April 2007 as a combined cycle power plant with 4 GE Frame 9 gas turbines and additional 2 steam turbines powered by the gas turbine exhaust heat recovery boilers. However, work could not commence on the project because NIPP funding was suspended immediately the contract was awarded. The project was re-scoped to only 4 gas turbines operating in simple cycle mode following wise counsel.

tamuno-ibiso:This is the kind of news that normally send shivers down d spine of thief-inu-ibu and his lapdogs. On my way to Okitipupa to cover the event. |
Pls disregard the rumours making waves that payment has started since 3days ago. Pls don't buy into it coz those people championing it just want to create stir in the polity. So pls etchie, okirika and asari-toru x-corpers shud mind the info they are circulating. I juz finished talking to some staff @ the state education board and they say nothing like dat is happening for now, dat very soon our time-table will b displayed. So let's keep our fingers crossed till the time-table will be out. |
In less than 48hrs, another 500mw will be added. Hope u will b there? |
sereen: What could be the reason for this delay?I just don't know why they are keeping us in the dark after waiting for good eight months. Even some L.I that I made contact with are still saying it will soon be ready. Just don't know when soon. |
Y Dana everytym? Can't they look into Kabo that lost its tyres d other tym hmmmmm? And come to think of it, I've booked already. What will happen to my ticket plsssssssss. |

elohor_ayodele: Is dat who we are really?Don't mind those pple that can't give credit to who deserve it, even if they experienced a steady power supply, dey will still complain. Very soon we will deport them. And to ur question, we are Good people Great nation. |
Hamazz1: I mst congratulate him n nigerians for d successful completion of such a land mark project.but being a leader is beyond constructing power plnts if after 6yrs this is all he can do then I grade him low wht abt corruption insecurity bad governance n so on I am happy that our energy troubles will b reduced but its not enough to warrant him a second term.Are u a warrant officer? |
Billyonaire: Rumor has it that you are the now forcefully retired Eko Ile, the lastma official. Is it true ?LMAO |
tamuno-ibiso:GEJ is really tackling the low generating capacity in our power sector and he also wants to bring down gas flaring capacity to the bearest minimum. Nigeria is so proud to have an articulate President like GEJ. |
rozayx5: and some people will hang them selves on that day over this newsDefinitely, all the Anti-GEJ on naiaraland go hug transformer that day. |
Watch out for more fresh air coming to Ondo state as President Jonathan will be commissioning the Omotosho Power Plant II which will generate 500mw (4*112.5 ISO 125MW) to the national grid, on October 19th of this year. This was disclosed by the MD/C.E.O of NDPHC while commenting on the commissioning of Geregu - II power plant yesterday.

I checked the twitter handle and there wasn't any specific date on when its likely for them to pay us. So the best thing is to wait and follow them via twitter too. |
