President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerians not to expect a “magical response” to the prevailing electricity challenges in the country as the existing power infrastructure has been on the ground for decades.

Speaking during the visit of German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Tinubu highlighted ongoing reforms aimed at fostering a business-friendly environment and attracting foreign investment in the country.

President Tinubu warned that even though Siemens Energy is “working very hard” to fulfil its part of the partnership, Nigerians should not expect a “magical response” due to the state of existing power infrastructure.


He said, “Nigeria, being a nation in a hurry, wants a magical response. But don’t forget, those transmission lines are about 50 to 60 years old.

“The snags are what we are trying to improve and reduce the possibility of problems. We are doing that. I’ve signed a reform that decentralised the power distribution and generation in the country. The states and various subsectors and subnational can generate their power and distribute it; they are working on it all.

“We have German businesses who are promoting alternative sources of energy, and they are here. We have the sun; they have the technology. I think we can utilise that for rural electrification; as mentioned earlier on, we can use the various dams that are not effective. We assure you that we will put these dams to use for the benefit of our people.”

The President also underscored the importance of youth training, solid minerals, and industrial partnerships in advancing Nigeria’s development agenda.

“We have a brilliant youth population that is energetic and ready to learn. We have a population that is market-friendly. We have an industrial plan that is anxious to establish assembly plants.

“We equally have solid minerals and the best proportion we can harness to attract German businesses and partners for progress.”

You are 💯 % correct sir. Yet, let's do something even if it's gradual.

So it's now a rocket science after all

Story upon story all the time. Try get one sector fixed oga

Time to use infrastructural upgrade to justify looting.

But there is a magical solution to snatching grabbing and running away with a mandate that is not yours

This is the statement of Tinubu in 2023 and 2014

Liar

Hmm

He didn't promise you people anything ooo, he only said it is his turn.

Even Osinbajo's expression speaks volume..he's like "Uncle Bola, this lamba is too big nah...easy sir" 😁

Not only do we have the sun, we also have the brains but you prefer to fund the foreigners over your people.

No magic is also needed for resignation

some lost souls believe & hope on someone whose life has been associated with white substances

Baba resign if you no get solutions to all these basic of a good life

Am sorry but your excuse is not good enough

We have neighbouring countries, smaller than us that have at least 24/7 light or at the very least all have meters , your credit runs out..you buy and reload gbam! nothing like no light and even they themselves have had that same electrical infrastructure since 1900's

Now if you say Siemens is on the matter even with alternative solutions, no wahala but how hard is it to inform Siemens that you want a Power situation exactly or something similar to what they have in their home nation of Germany.

There's money in Nigeria but because of the innate corruption that keeps striving, we let a lot of loose ends slide without checking..

Anyways it's not entirely your fault, majority of Nigerians are just naturally corrupt, if not I don't see how a sane human being after experiencing the past Buhari APC years will still go to the voting booth and pick APC again...lol like honestly it's one of the dumbest sh!t have ever seen..and to cap it up lol even the present Government said the previous Government let a lot of things in disarray which they wanna fix...like LMAO, just a fucking confirmation of why they shouldn't even be there in the first place..

Oga if you can't give us the best, then just shut it..the biggest black Nation in the world still living in perpetual darkness...

I swear if you put just 100 competent white people for 8 years in critical Power sector, you will see the apparent change..and you know it after all you always run to their country...and you over here capping we shouldn't expect magic..like seriously lol... anyways na the retards you dey tell that one sha ..so good to tell em..

The mandate he stole was it from your father who was foolish enough to watch his mandate stolen ? Do fools who can't hold on to mandate given not deserve to be beaten to oblivion or what was your father thinking while he foolishly allowed his mandate to be stolen ?!

It is solved now ... You can generate and sell to neighbors wetin you want again

Well, as many people have pointed out above, when they were in the opposition, they were busy saying that power supply is not rocket science, now that they are in power, they realize that it is rocket science, and complicated.

And they are now taking measures that if PDP took them, they would have been screaming blue murder.

Nigeria's power supply issue boils down to one thing...lack of money to make improvements, aggravated by government policy of setting prices for private companies...to the point that the sector operates at a loss.

APC is slowly waking up to reality, but they still do stuff like borrow to fix power, and refusing to aggresively meter everyone, and allow the sector charge cost reflective tarrifs.

No wonder we don't have light.

Bt isn't rocket science na 😔


Ooh, d only magical solution is looting
