Another tosser.

I suppose it takes a more than a single digit IQ to figure that you don't get into sixth form, without satisfying certain prerequisites, as Buhari clearly did.

So Dasuki's politicised Army HQ said it only found a testimonial in his file? Wasn't it also beholden to Fayose's antics in Ekiti (read #EkitiGate) and many other acts of perfidy under Jonathan's administration?

I beg commot make I see better climate.
Trumpanzees who stand logic on its head annoy me.

Building new power plants is not the only way to increase power generation and supply.
Removing constraints hampering existing makes more sense and gives cheaper and faster results. Critical maintenance as was done on the hydro dams also increased their output. Another important step was ensuring by presidential intervention the release of 900 containers of power transmission equipment seized by customs in port, this is being used to shore up the capacity to ensure more regular power supply.
In any case new power plants commissioned include Azura-450MW, Afam IV-250MW,, Kismambila, almost ready-40MW and others. Also the 3000MW Mambila hydro is getting serious attention.
Also for your information, all power plants commissioned by Jonathan were conceived and started under Obasanjo NIPP program about 7-8 years before, conceding they are from same party. It's not being smart to start asking for Buhari intiated and completed power plants, it only betrays ignorance


For your information Fasola knows much more now about the power system than most ignorantly posing as experts here.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has lambasted the Minister of Finance, Ms. Kemi Adeosun for denying that Nigeria has paid its own part of the Airport Terminal counterpart funding of $100 million.

The party said contrary to the statement credited to Adeosun, who spoke in a television programme, Sunrise, on Tuesday, the federal government under former President Goodluck Jonathan awarded a contract for the remodelling and building of international airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu on a ‘Built, Operate and Transfer’ (BOT) basis, financed by Chinese EXIM Bank but with counterpart funds from Nigeria.

Deputy Senate President, while speaking at plenary yesterday on the economy, suggested that Kemi Adeosun be assigned to another ministry to give way to a more competent person because of the situation at hand.

A statement issued Wednesday by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, described Adeosun’s statement as just one of the many lies consistently peddled by the All Progressives Congress, APC, disregarding and denying all the obvious achievements of the 16 years of PDP era and collective successes of Nigerians

“Once again, our attention has been drawn to a statement made by the Minister of Finance, Ms. Kemi Adeosun, during the Channels Television Live Programme, ‘Sunrise Daily’ of Tuesday, in which she stated that, ‘Nigeria has not paid the airport terminal counterpart funding of $100 million….’

“This information like many of her previous statements is: false, misleading, malicious and was deliberately made with the intention of blackmailing previous PDP led administration which have been the hallmark of the APC government.

“We are pained that the APC under Buhari is bent on sacrificing our hard earned democracy on the slab of falsehood by consistently disregarding and denying all the obvious achievements of the 16 years of PDP era and collective successes of Nigerians. Why is that?

“You will recall that the former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in 2014, awarded the contract of remodelling and building of international airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu on a BOT basis, financed by Chinese EXIM Bank with counterpart funds from Nigeria. The contract total sum was $500 million with counterpart funding of $100 million from Nigeria.

“The fact of the matter is that, Nigeria paid her own sum of $100 million on the 29th of January 2014 through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) at the beginning of the projects.

“You will also recall that the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Aviation, Hajiya Binta Bello, corroborated our position during her interview with THISDAY Newspaper on September 14, 2015, where she stated: ‘Finance was not an impediment, and Nigeria government counterpart funding of $100 million has been paid at the commencement of the projects.

“She went further to assert that the projects would be completed and delivered at the first quarter of 2016.

“In the light of the above, the claim by the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun is not only standing the truth on its head but depicting the habitual lies and deceit the APC is known for.

“For the record, the previous PDP government entered into an agreement with the Chinese government to construct terminals in five airports, and in January 2014, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wrote the Debt Management Office informing them of effecting the Payment of $100Million to the Chinese Firm, CECC which was remitted as directed by the CBN. In another thought, could it be that this needless confusion from the Minister regarding the already Paid Fund is to represent the Voucher again for payment?

“It is however unfortunate that a minister that is expected to know better on this matter would deliberately deceive the public in order to continue scoring cheap political points.

“To this end, we want to further advice the APC-led administration to concentrate on governance and stop deceiving Nigerians with their constant lies. What the people of this country need in this period of harsh economic recession is not meaningless and misguided lamentations from a government of the so called “Change” but good governance demonstrated by at least providing food on their table.”
