The continued power outages in many parts of the country, particularly in the Northern and Eastern States, as well as South-South states, have remained a cause of grievous concern.

It is heartbreaking to see that the affected states, majorly in the Northern parts of Nigeria, have been facing a total blackout for several days now.

The negative impact of the continued power outage on businesses, especially small businesses, who depend primarily on public power supply to sustain their businesses as a means of livelihood, is unimaginable.

This power crisis, when combined with the present high cost of petroleum products and a harsh operating environment, remains a lethal recipe for widespread business failure and increasing poverty in the country.

I have consistently maintained that solving Nigeria's power and energy crisis is not rocket science.

Many of our comparable peer nations have demonstrated how possible it is to provide sustainable power for their citizens.

Our African neighbour, Egypt, for example, invested aggressively in their power sector, which resulted in the establishment of a sustainable power infrastructure by way of many power stations. Today, Egypt has revolutionized power and energy production in the country, providing sustainable power to millions of small businesses, which account for over 90% of active enterprises in the country and contributes to over 80 percent of their GDP.

My sincere thoughts are with everyone enduring these tough times in our nation.

I call on the government to ramp up efforts and provide both immediate and long-term solutions to this seemingly perennial challenge.

With adequate power supply, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Peter OBI that was governor for 8 years, yet his small village lack power supply

tundegan:
Peter Obi should be the last person talking about power after his government in Anambra state refused to build any power plant.

This man is just a confused person.

Through the commenters views it's quite disheartening that most Nigerians are not ready to be free from the shekels of poverty and hunger buts on them by most wicked president of all time which is Tinubu. Why castigating only man speaking up against wickedness and injustice of this administration why should this wicked president Tinubu hike the price of electricity and refused to transmit power to Nigerians at the same time hike the fuel price to highest rate since the history of Nigeria

AntiZikist:
When asked why Anambra state was yet to think of constructing an airport, Obi gave the excuse that Anambra is the second smallest state by land mass and that there are no lands left for such project.

How come Obiano see land build airport ?

This man provided silly excuses on why he never invested Anambra state funds on infrastructure only to divert same to his personal business potfolio and Pandora account.

But here is he spewing trash.

Ordinary Onitsha to Awka light train that he scammed Anambra people of their money through consultancy fees, he only has a plaque he comissioned .

Scamming idiot lying shameless thief claiming saint .
