Welcome idea but belated, after these two men, Fashola and Tinubu, squandered billions of Dollars budgeted for electricity in 7 years.

exactly what's on my mind.

in PH, my former place of residence, there use to be this man that had generator plants, which he uses to generate n distribute power to about 5 streets in where PHCN has refused to give them power for almost 2years in PH.

do u knw that one day, PHCN mobilized some force men, troops in trucks. they came bundled the man, disconnected all his supply lines, and whisked away with his about 4-5power generating plants...

that was when I realized that it will be very hard for this country to see forwardness...


Am happy with this Bill. Watch as Power Generation will be a thing of competition and its challenges will be crippled.


But mind you, at first be ready to face black man mentality to exploit his fellow man will come up, expect high price of power soon
Because is only in Nigeria you will see increase in number of competitor of particular goods production process will be leading to high or skyrocket price. In a sane country the more the number of people producing a product the lower the price but no, the reverse is the case for my country.

Imagine the number of sachet water producer in this country yet sachet water is still expensive, that is why some people are still taking ordinary water instead of the process packaging water,
Also check order product that has much producer, their price is very high.
So, I m sure similar situation will come up in this power generation process too.

Paying is not the issue of most Nigerians if people get value they have no problem paying at whatever cost. If you get power at your home 20hrs daily I'm sure you won't have problem paying 10k monthly also, considering the price of diesel today a lot of companies would even willingly pay 100k monthly.

Peter Obi deserves an award for waking this terroristic government up and getting them to focus on electricity.

Thanks to Peter Obi for revealing the endless meetings Siemens was invited to, for many years, by Buhari/Fashola's government agents, with nothing being achieved.

Thanks to Obi for revealing that the Egyptian government only negotiated with Siemens for a period of not more tan 6 weeks, before SIemens started the job.

Thanks to Obi for giving the national assembly a kick in their bullocks to start acting in the interest of Nigerians, by paying adequate attention to the power situation.

Peter Obi is really needed as the president. All these while that Tinubu has been masquerading as the APC leader, he did nothing to encourage his party members who are ruling the nation, to aid the general population by fixing Nigeria's electricity supply.

Will you shut up.

Do you even understand the processes that must be taken before a bill is passed?

Do you know the number readings and commitees that might sit before a commitee report is made?

You cannot pass a bill overnight.

This is what I have been screaming for years now. Allow states and individuals that can generate to do so and pay some form of tax to the government. This would free up the grid for those that can't. It will enhance competition and in the long run a drop in the price of electricity.
Nigeria is too big for goodness sake to be ruing on one central grid. That is why it is always collapsing.
I just don't understand why we must be centralizing everything in this country creating bureaucratic bottlenecks everywhere. Over-centralization retards progress and it's one of the greatest problems we have in this country. Progress is always retarded usually because it favours northerners. We can also see this in our educational system where they created quota system and educationally less developed nonsense. While others were going to school and developing themselves what were you doing? And why must they be made to wait for you?

Why must i generate electricity & send to the national grid. That's is the problem. Let any who generate also chose where & whom to sell to (Distribute). This laziness of the core North is what's driving Nigeria backward. Generation & distribution should be decentralised & privatised completely.
Distribution has always been the bottleneck.

And yet no gov nor leader will say pim despites seeing all this useless policies paralyzing this country ever because they and their family are enjoying the statusquo.

This is a victory for Tinubu and his overall fight for State rights vs Federal rights.

what happened to the deal with Enron? You guys just open mouth and talk rubbish in the tactics of disinformation. Tell them the truth about what happened to Enron.

The price is not really the problem but value for money, I'm sure if paradventure you but a pure water sachet without or less water inside you wouldn't buy another one from same producer. Nigerians have been paying exorbitantly for darkness. Although it might take some time but I strongly believe it's a right step in the right direction.

This is long overdue. Tinubu pioneered generation of independent power plant(IPP) in Nigeria. If it has been sustained by states across the country, by now, we would have been generating a lot and some states, like Lagos, Rivers etc would have been independent.

Biggest lie. Show the Enron Power plant. Obasanjo had already started the IPP with Afam 3 and 4 along with Kwale-Okpai IPP. Make una they slow down with the lies naaa. Tinubu was negotiating with Enron they came to Nigeria for a meeting on it, not that they started it. Stop this disinformation abeg

Power generated should be transmitted to the national grid? The problem with our power sector is not generation but distribution so how will that work? Why not allow those generating little megawatts to distribute to their locality? Nigeria and bottle neck, these guys always look for ways to make life difficult for entrepreneurs.

You got it all wrong. Go back and read the beginning of the paragraph you quoted, it starts with "What is obtainable...." .
This means what is currently obtainable where power generators send to the national grid would stop when the law becomes effective.

I can also see that several people after you followed your step in misinterpreting the statement. Please put a P.S. and modify your comment. This is how fake news start.

You think they don't know what they are doing?

As much as this bill would have solved some problem in the power sector the issue of supplying the generated power to national grid is a bill killer!

America generates 1014TW per annum. This generation is made up of modular power plant that are perculiar to regions i.e coal, hydro, nuclear, gas & steam turbines, solar and winds. All these plants transmits and distribute the generated electricity within the localities but calculates the electricity generated on a national grid. This system made them achieve near 100% transmission and distribution of generated electricity.

Localized Independent power plants (IPPs) will solve the problem of power transmission and distribution in the country and result to more efficient power sector.

I guess you didn't finish reading it. The last phrase says that "Every power generated, will be transferred to the general grid for distribution by FG.

It's not different from what's done before.

If states can generate their electricity then we are moving forward.
Some states are already generating electricity like Akwa Ibom state has Ibom power plant, the problem has always been distribution because the constitution earlier stated that the power generated must be transfered to the national grid first instead of being distributed directly to the state that produced it...
