Miinister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, says it is impossible to provide constant, uninterrupted electricity to everyone in Nigeria in the near future.

Speaking with newsmen in London over the weekend, the minister said: “Nobody in the world can provide 24/7 electricity everywhere in Nigeria”, adding that 160,000 megawatts would be needed to do that. The current capacity is 4,500 megawatts.
“The cost of providing electricity per megawatt on average is $2billion. To get to where South Africa is, you will need about $3.2trillion (about N672trillion). Where will you find that kind of money?” he asked.

In addition to the huge amount of money involved, Prof. Nebo said power projects also take time to come to fruition, stressing that it takes between four and six years to deliver the power projects.
“You don’t buy these things off the shelves. It takes time to design, study, procure, manufacture, install and commission”, he said, but explained that the government had done so much on generation capacity, transmission and distribution infrastructure, which are key necessities in power supply.

He said 20,000 megawatts was needed to ensure constant power supply to major cities in the country that have been connected to the national grid, but said it would require a lot of resources and time to achieve the feat.

The minister further said the current facilities and infrastructure on the ground had the capacity to provide more than 5,000 megawatts in the country, but lamented that some saboteurs were bent on ensuring that the target is not achieved by vandalising gas pipelines on a regular basis.

He emphasised that the demand for electricity in Nigeria is so huge that “no matter what you do, once electricity gets to a place, people acquire more facilities, buy refrigerators and air-conditioners, and before you know it, what you think is enough for everyone has to be shared by so many people”.

He also said solar power could go a long way in solving Nigeria’s power problems, especially in the rural areas, disclosing that three communities, including Durumi in the suburbs of Abuja, have enjoyed 13 months of uninterrupted electricity since the start of the pilot scheme in December 2013.

I cant imagine this after all the trillion of dollars spent on power by the 16yrs reign of PDP in Nigeria

Bro, really ashamed and I feel bad for supporting PDP for the past 16 years.

francizy:
What do you mean by NOW?

Are you OK?

Check all my posts and tell me if you see/saw anything about me campaigning for GEJ..

I've always stood on the ground that both him and GMB are incompetent and I wish we all can come together and vote a more credible person from any other party...

I am very ok, more than you. The onus is now on you to campaign for whom you think is better than GEJ and GMB, rather than being aloof, seeing nothing good out of the two. Who is your choice, mr. Man?

francizy:
This shameless man that put Nigeria inside the bottomless pit has come again..

Daughter-in-law banger oshi!

Its because of you that GEJ became president, so I will ascribe his failures to your name too...

Now you are in agreement with the fact that GEJ failed?

GreenWhiteGreen:
pk

pakula.

This PDP people self! Going forward and backward in their campaigns. No common campaign strategy. Haba!

The much expeceted PDP sponsored protests have just began! Jega must not be intimidated to cave in to their selfish demand.

APC and PDP giving each other 'tomtom' to chew with court cases. Distraction for me, distraction for you.

This Nigerian army! Now that the Boko Haram terrorists have vacated Sambisa and relocated to different locations? Why did they ransack the forest since?

Yes, Nigerians what to know what went wrong. Better late than never. Soludo has spoken!

In my village Dipensary and maternity, there are still some bedsheets and pillows donated by PTF and PTF boldly written on them. Very quality materials

Vicotex:
had it been GEJ performance was poor in the agricultural section we wouldn't have had these bags of rice to share.

#Vote GEJ
#VOTE peace
#Vote development

Imported rice, my friend

Juliano47:
yes...she sells Bole (roasted plantains) near LASU gate.

Can you be serious for once? I want to know, really, because I don't know her

Pls, who Amber Rose? Is she a Nigerian?

Superior argument from uncle Soludo. Infact, I can't stop loving you. Nngozi Iweala must go!

This Idenity card was produced in 2014 and not in 1957 years ago, as claimed by Mr. Goodluck, yet he claimed to have visited Port Harcourt in 1955. Jonathan lying since 1955.

As at 1961, over 50 years ago, I doubt if it was compulsory, considering the fact that education was not that developed the way it is now in Nigeria, not to talk of education in Northern Nigeria, which is still far behind in educational advancement, in 2015

Showing so so Railways and trains! Pls if I may ask, how many Nigerians benefits from these trains? I have asked my numerous friends from Sokoto to Badagry, from Borno to Okrika, no one seems to have used a railway.

The people in my village prefer broom to vaccum cleaner. They cannot even afford the luxury of a vaccum cleaner, which only thieves like them can afford.

Kindly publish the IP adddress, atleast to butress your claim. AIT ridiculing itself since 1994

So, you now agree that Buahri has a WASC result? FFK, pls let Nigerians know

Chai! That na big curse o! 'Ali must go' is cursing Maku. Maku, I adivse you reject it back to sender. It is a pity that after all the lies and cover up job you did for PDP as Information Minister, you see the way you will end up?

Adieu, fellow Nigerian! Rest well

Eedris should learn to control his temper and his running mouth, otherwise he may remain where these traits have kept him. After slapping The American artist and took on Nigerian Brewery, where has he been since then?

Good, but has he been buying for them before this elections?

Is VP Sambo really from the North? This question has been begging for answers. He should tell us where he is from first.

sunnyshayne:
Stop spreading lies. Rumour monger!

. Can't join issues with you. Big fool like you. Are you a living being? If you are, then you are dead among the living, if you don't know what is happening around you.

sunboy:
Please where in Suleja? I'm in Suleja and nothing happening here nor did anyone talk about it here.

Maybe you are living in cave or inside a rock there, if you don't know what is happening in there, when even people in Kaduna Road axis are already aware and being cautious of how they move about. Wake up bro!

@ Poster, you must be an illiterate. Did the Katsina school told you that they released the result recently. That result is the master list result of that exam in the record of the school, as released by Cambridge in 1961.

Report reaching me, from a brother, had it that there is heavy fighting between supporters of PDP and those of the main opposition party, APC. The fight was caused by the burning down of a campaign bus by one of the party's supporters. Right, palpable fear has gripped residents of the Emirate, as no one dares common out for fear of being attacked. More details to come

Actually the media houses might have been bribed, because I just cannot understand the rate at which these TV stations and radio stations across Nigeria swooped on the statment by the NSA for extension of the election by devoting greater percentage of their daily programmes to debate the postponement. Even some of the media houses are putting the issue on vote. Is the kind of journalism we all crave for?

How does this make front page?
