Akwa Ibom should do better. Let's sell the power to some unserious state. You forget to add that there's a massive substation marked for construction at Etim Ekpo for Etim Ekpo and its environs.

Hello Hunchogee, I know you would vote PO against Atiku right? You know with PO we'd prosper. You remember Atiku sold ALSCON?

Let’s make Nigeria great again.

The truth is that Akwa Ibom state has been bless with good leaders started with Victor Attah down to this current administration. I have been telling people that in ten years to come Akwa Ibom state will be a place every body will want to be if the progress continue in this direction.
To say Akwa Ibom state is beautiful is an understatement, the best state so far with good road networks, whenever we are on trip once we enter Akwa Ibom the roads there will tell us we are in Akwa Ibom once we crossed to cross Rivers State we see the difference. The urban planning of the city is a top touch, the beautifications is something else. The fact is that when we have professionals on top of the affairs they perform excellent, when we have dunce like Mohammadu Buhari who knows nothing about life apart from being a failed retired army general in the army not else good come out of his brain.
Let me clearify una on this, do you know that the master plan of Akwa Ibom state as it is today was designed by architect Obong Victor Attah the first democratic governor of the state? Whe he returned from Canada to take the position of the executive governor of the state in 1999, he came along with a construction company called Jardin Construction company all the way from Canada, most of you who have known where they call Ibom plaza, Ibom Plaza was designed by Obong Victor Attah and constructed by Jardin Construction and beautifications company, that was when we start seen the company planting trees and flowers across the city of uyo, that was when we start seen color street lights and gradually Uyo take it shapes to what they have today.
What am trying to tell you guys let's elect competent people, professional who can take a decision on the right directions without waiting for advisers for ideas. In a country that is full of professionals and professors of academic intellect being under the watch of a sick man who hardly comprehend changes around him. The mistake has been made, please may we not repeat it again. Another mad man has come out again from the same evil broom party. If you let go of your sentiments and reason on the right directions as human you all will realize that Bola Ahmed Tunibu has mental health issues and such man is not fit to rule over the affairs of Nigeria nation

While Ipob/esn is destroying their land and raping their women in schools under guise of dummy biafra, akwa ibom is busy developing without joining Ipob/esn in singing marginalization. Later Ipob/esn will come to claim akwa ibom as part of biafra

The entire value chain of Nigeria's energy mix (generation, transmission and distribution) has to be unbundled for us to experience significant progress in electricity.

Unfortunately, what Ibom Utility Company plans to do is not different from what Eko Electric, EDDC, PHEDC, etc, are currently doing. Nigeria has enough distribution companies. The areas we lag behind are generation and mostly transmission.

We generate over 10k megawatts and distribute a little over 4k megawatts because we don't have the necessary transmission infrastructure. According to findings, the excess power we aren't able to evacuate leads to national grid collapse.

As long as the constitutional laws surrounding generation,transmission and distribution remain unchanged,this will be another waste of resources just like the one in Lagos!
Any generation higher than 1mega watts will be taken to the national grid!
Secondly,you cannot generate,transmit and distribute power in areas that are covered by the national grid!

When some of us insist more autonomy and independent control for States and regions is the only way forward for Nigeria to survive and thrive, or face certain death if we continue as before, some wil be shouting Tinubu, Obi, Atiku etal up and down while insulting each other.

Nigerians must all key into the concept of demanding State and regional autonomy as important and sacrosanct above everything else to include the ambition of any individual.

No president can achieve anything without a fundamental reforms to the governance structure of Nigeria.

If Akwa Ibom now gains 24/7 electricity then all fans of Obi and Atiku, because they are the traditional nomads economic migrants of Nigeria, will be quick to relocate to Akwa Ibom and overburden the State instead of fighting their own governors and leader to deliver the same proactive, focused and visionary leadership Akwa Ibom is enjoying.

I am commited to a Tinubu Presidency because I know it is Jagaban alone that has the will, sagacity, capacity and ability to restructure Nigeria but what is shown below is what I am devoted to above everything else.

It is what all Nigerians should be insisting on because it is the only way out of the corruption, misrule and 'one Nigeria' regression that will destroy Nigeria if not thrown out to be replaced with State and regional autonomy asap.

If this is the case, why does the FG keep harping on generating more MW, when all generated power can't be transmitted.

The generated power can’t be transmitted story is the narratives the discos created to deceive the gullible while they reject supply from the generating companies.

The discos make more money from estimated billing, hence their refusal to support any metering of customers initiatives. Estimated billing is easy and sweet money- period.

Takeaway estimated billing and watch them become efficient with the transmission of the generated capacity.

If you are so sure about the bolded, why didn't Lagos support autonomy for local government when some states houses, including states in the East, already voted for that? Can you explain the reason because sometimes, you seem to me like you are very close to Tinubu which expectedly is fueling your confidence.
