Tabletuner:
How did you know about this?

OredoPikin:
Since 2018?

And Aso rock left national grid to start using solar

SixSeven:
That's how you know what happened to the project and if it's working as intended. You attempted to give the OP information, then complete it. The OP even put it in bold so you can see it clearly 👇

for context, the deal was signed in 2018 to add 25,000MW to our electricity generation. It's been 8yrs since that deal was signed.

keemsleek:
Since you asked a question hees what I found out about the deal.



The Siemens Nigeria power deal is one of Nigeria’s biggest electricity reform plans—but the honest answer is:
👉 It has been slow, partly delayed, but now moving again (not fully successful yet).
Let me break it down clearly.
🔌 What the Siemens deal was supposed to do
Signed around 2018–2019 between Nigeria and Germany
Worth about $2.3 billion
Goal: fix Nigeria’s transmission + distribution (not just generation)
Targets:
7,000 MW → short term
11,000 MW → medium term
25,000 MW → long term �
Majorwaves Energy Report +1
👉 At the time, Nigeria was producing only about 4,000 MW, so this was a big upgrade plan.
⚠️ What actually happened (Reality)
1. It basically stalled for years
After it started, the project lost momentum
Reasons:
Death of key government coordinator
COVID-19 disruptions
Bureaucracy & funding issues
By around 2021–2023, very little real progress happened �
Punch Newspapers +1
👉 So early targets (7,000 MW by 2021, etc.) were missed completely.
2. It was revived recently
Under President Bola Tinubu
Government re-signed/accelerated the agreement with Germany
Project is now active again and moving forward �
Punch Newspapers +1
⚙️ What has been achieved so far
Some real progress (but still early stage):
Delivery of transformers & mobile substations ✔️
About 984 MW transmission capacity added ✔️ �
State House Abuja
Installation of equipment across locations like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo ✔️ �
FGN Power Company
Phase 1 officially ongoing (grid upgrade, substations) ✔️ �
Punch Newspapers
👉 Current Phase 1 aims to:
Strengthen the grid
Add up to ~7,000 MW capacity potential �
Punch Newspapers
⏳ Current status (2026)
Project is NOT completed
Still in Phase 1
Some substations expected to finish by end of 2026 �
Advisors Reports
Government admits progress is “below expectation” �
TheCable
⚖️ Final verdict
✅ Positives
Not dead anymore (revived)
Infrastructure upgrades ongoing
Some improvement in transmission capacity
❌ Negatives
Missed original deadlines badly
Impact not yet strongly felt by most Nigerians
Still far from 24/7 stable electricity
🧠 Bottom line
👉 The Siemens deal is a good plan on paper
👉 But in reality:
Started badly (stalled)
Now progressing slowly
Still far from delivering full results

.
What is the generating capacity today?

Deeprooted:
Because we have failed to do what South Africans are doing, we now have foreigners constituting nuisance in Nigeria.

I commend the efforts of the south Africans.


More than 100 Togolese, Nigeriens and others are in Nigeria without visa, which is a contributory factor to the insecurity being faced in the country

WhiteIverson:
You've created 3 posts this morning about Israel 😂
The obsession is real😭

LordLicifer:
No, He was born in Nigeria has UK citizenship and naturalised in America..

sorepco:
I don't think this is necessary. This discrimination makes no sense. It's a pity what this country is turning to...

SmartPolician:
Citizens of other countries cannot leave SA because it's one of the very FEW working countries on the continent

If Nigeria, for instance, is working. What would a Nigerian be looking for in South Africa?

Point of correction. Leicester relegated to League One; a step below Championship.

Gboss247:
Create enough for the generality of the populace?
Please can explain that

OLAADEGBU:
Trump disclosed that Iran had reversed the planned executions after his intervention, describing the outcome as a significant and positive step.
