Why not run on the platform of LP

LP has issues. You are not sure what could happen with the indecision, especially with INEC

Principled enough to say no when it’s easier to say yes.

Because AMAC deserves a leadership that can not be bought or bullied.

A leadership that protects the public good, not one that trades it for personal gain.

In a cosmopolitan council like AMAC, integrity must be non-negotiable.

Patient enough to plant trees we may never sit under.

Because real development takes time, from modern schools in our rural wards,
to roads, water, and healthcare in neglected satellite towns.

Even if I may not see all the fruit in my tenure,
I must lay foundations for the AMAC of tomorrow.

Persistent enough to get up every morning and go again.

Because governing AMAC is not a ceremony, it is a daily commitment.

To solve waste issues. To engage restless youth.

To drive digital revenue innovation.

To challenge FCT’s imbalance and assert the dignity of local governance.

This is the spirit I bring, not just to lead but to serve.

To be the kind of chairman, AMAC will remember, not for title, but for transformation.

This is my covenant with the people.

Okay.

I understand them now.

I truly do understand the gencos and discos now. They don't want the Band A back into the subsidized B, C, D zones anymore.

Makes sense.

But where did the N4/kwh come from?

Just asking as an ignoramus ooo

“We reviewed their entire costs, using our Tariff Methodology Regulations 2024, and the supporting Distribution Tariff Model to get an average price of N94.

“The price is low because the Federal Government has been subsidising electricity generation cost which charges only N45 out of the actual cost of N112. That was how we came about the average tariff of N94 as cost reflective tariff at our level as a subnational electricity market.

He noted, however, that the N160 Band A tariff could be difficult to sustain should the Federal Government remove the generation tariff subsidy currently being enjoyed by electricity consumers throughout the country, as tariffs would most likely rise beyond these new rates.

I always remember this goal anytime I hear the name Andile Dlamini. In the feed that I saw in 2016, you could see her smiling after the ball went in because there was nothing she could do to stop Desire Oparanozie's freekick.

Watch Asisat Oshoala's second goal.

2 goals by Asisat Oshoala gave Nigeria victory, but watch the 2nd goal (over the head of the keeper).

Nigeria 2-1 South Africa (2014 African Women's Nations Cup in Namibia).

Naptu2,

You're someone I read posts and comments from anytime I come here. Awesome mind.

As much as I agree with your submissions 1, 2 and 3, I need to point out that Enugu Electricity Board said they calculated the energy rate and it came down to N4/kwh. It was in a post on nairaland.

Now, their own "silly" belief was that "If you produce at N4, selling at N160 would still make sense".

This is the major part that the gencos and discos need to refute. Or they say "Nothing concerns you with how much we are producing. We can fix any arbitrary price and you pay".

We need to ask the Enugu Board to submit to public scrutiny how they arrived at that figure of N4/kwh.

And like I said, I respect your eclectic mind that seems to balance knowledge in every sector exceptionally well. Awesome.

Correct me if I'm wrong but has any senior Nigerian team, male or female, ever beaten South Africa in a semi finals and gone ahead to win the finals? I don't think so. 2000 and 2023 AFCON come to mind.

If the answer is no, then hopefully that curse is broken tomorrow.

Just listening to this on radio.
I like this squabble. It should motivate states to completely exit the so called 'national greed grid' and seek for the kind of total independence that can spur local development.

A zone like Enugu should be jumping at this opportunity. It has an essential source of energy, coal. All it takes is to fly to the experts in coal to energy, China, a country that powered itself to development reportedly building a new coal fired plant every two weeks at a certain time.

This will be credits and loans worthwhile and foreign investments that will be impactful.

Every zone should the focus on the energy resources in its locality, efficiently generate and distribute at the tariffs it sees fit. Whoever can then provide at the lowest rates will attract the industrial investments.

When I first saw the article I misremembered that geometric power plant was located in enugu.

Possibly because imho you can only dictate pricing for power generated in your state. Which will determine who decides to set up plants in your state in future.

I was also wondering how they would recoup their investment seeing as the plant was stalled for over 10 years. How do you roll out a delayed project and then charge under market cost?

Reference:
Proper state takeover of the power sector should end federal subsidies and the crazy unified tariffs across country.

PresidObi:
Whatever expenses claimed by the electricity companies that is not shared with us in details cannot be used to determine national costs which the states consumers will be mandated to pay.

You cannot tell me tou are subsidising electricity when we dont know the amount generated or paid for.

The state is right and wants to free other Nigerians.
