No, it doesn't have to. He can refuse to sign it also. Acknowledge and celebrate the fact that he signed it. Without his signing, it will remain dead.

Actually, unless the Nairametric report is missing crucial info, Tinubu should NOT have “assented” to the bill…
If the bill was actually passed back in July 2022, it can only be assented to WITHIN 30 days (Section 58(4) of the Constitution).

Meanwhile, it’s unlikely this law will affect transmission since the states cannot regulate outside their borders…
States already have generation authority, but the CRUCIAL difference is the generated power will no longer be ceded to the national grid.

This new law might be a relatively immediate impact in states like here in Lagos…
But it does NOT address the underlying economic (un)viability issues and thus unlikely to make much difference in the immediate future.

Right, but the directive had to be specified in the Act to suppress corruption otherwise it's trash. Most Nigerian Governors are very corrupt and wouldn't do such because they themselves are currently benefiting from the ongoing estimated billing going on.
That directive can't be specified in the act, because different business contracts has different terms, this is deregularization, decentralization era, businesses are run by private entities, to optimize service and value. State governors should know what's best for their people, the people should ensure they vote in governors who wish the best for them. We have been screaming true federalism, state powers, it's here. A state governor and it's parliament has responsibility for the wellbeing of their state, stop looking to the president, look to your governors and house of assemblies to streamline this bills to suite your state's needs.

This is so good. So I can build my own power station of 1MW and transmit up to 100KW without license? Good!

Celebrating the speed and progress of Nigeria is not ass licking. Two weeks in government is too short for anyone to be labelled as ass licking, or perhaps you don't know what you are talking about. The Electricity Act 2023 is exciting, you should familiarise yourself with it instead of sulking in negativity. This is beautiful for renewable energy. Bottlenecks to Nigeria's power generation has been broken. It empower states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity. If you are sad about this, it is no fault of mine.



Which speed and progress are u referring to? Pls show it to me.


If the bill didn't originate from him, then why the noise?

Is he the first president in Nigeria to sign a bill? If he isn't the first to sign a bill, what then is the celebration about?

If he doesn't sign the bill, it will not remain dead. Aren't u aware that if a bill isn't signed, the legislature can on their own pass it into law with a two third majority?

What is special about the head of executive signing a bill?

If the bill he signed is exciting, did it originate from him? Is he the author of the bill?

You should be more concerned about what your state governor is doing.
Doesn't answer the questions.

Which job is he getting done?

Is he first Nigerian president to sign a bill into law?

Aren't you aware that signing a bill into law is a normal function of the head of the executive?

Is he the one that made the bill he signed?

Under true federalism, every state for itself.

First, there’s NOTHING like “true” federalism (it’s just another cliche we love in Nigeria)…
EVERY federation (US, Germany, India, Switzerland, Canada, UAE, Russia, Belgium, etc.) has its own PECULIAR system.

Nonetheless, states CANNOT regulate across their own borders…
Lagos State cannot make laws for Ogun State - whether in electricity, Agberoism, or anything else.

Accordingly, states are unlikely to dabble in transmission…
Rather, as a PRACTICAL matter, they’re more likely to restrict themselves to generation and distribution.

Obviously you didn't understand what has been said, you guys think everything is all about government and your own responsibility is fold your hands waiting to seen the impact.

No need to be afraid of independence and autonomy of states, it is what we have all been craving for. True federalism means practicing our federation system of government the true way... devolution of power, decentralization, state police, state laws...

Okay.

Buit, I thought Buhari did that a week or so to his retirement.

MB didn't sign it to law, he left it for PBT to sign to boost his image. So, you can see it's already serving it's purpose. All the same, I congratulate Nigerians for getting this laudable law. If properly harnessed, we may see the end of blackout in Nigeria very soon.

This law seems to put an end to Nigeria's power problem theoretically, the implementation is what I'm looking forward to now.
Every sector in this country is been prevented from growing due to vested interest of a few people, again the law should have criminalize estimated bills to make it more efficient.

Oga be calming down.
This bill was passed before Tinubu's elections, give credit to the 9th assembly.
I also remember very well this is what Mneji wanted to do when he was power minister and was frustrated out of office by the cabal. Nigeria will one day be great

Interesting..

As a citizen, one advantage of this is that you can invest into electricity and start making money..

Invest in Generating 100KW and start distribution while you receive your pay accordingly! This is just like owing a filling station & discharging fuel for people at a price! You don’t need a license for this so if anyone is requesting for license, just report the person!

But ensure you don't go beyond the law so you won't have problem..

The Act also states that anyone may construct, own or operate an undertaking for generating electricity not exceeding 1 megawatt (MW) in aggregate at a site or an undertaking for distribution of electricity with a capacity not exceeding 100 kilowatts (KW) in aggregate at a site, or such other capacity as NERC may determine from time to time, without a license.

That’s what I thought too.
Can he be doing again something that is already done
buhari signed amendment (allowing states to generate.

Tinubu signed the new act.(allowing individuals ,organisations,and states to control power.)

What the new act means is you as a person can generate power at a specific rate and sell to your street. You don't need to wait for anybody.
Your street can gather their resources together and establish a power plant that serves their community.

SS already understand this. You can see they’ve been aligning much into the center. Even tho they’re abusing them online, tomorrow will come and they’ll reap it! That’s politics!

Igbos are myopic . They believe gragra is everything.. They have been playing wrong politics and complain of marginalization.
