electricity improvement in your village? The only parts of Nigeria that has seen improved electricity is Band A users, this is because other users have been thrown into complete darkness.

The newspaper headline is basic sensationalism...and no, this is not a defence of the government, as the government is part of the problem by its system of price controls....

What Nigeria needs for improved power supply is, according to the experts....not the government....10 billion dollars annually for the next 5-10 years.

That's 10 billion dollars every year for ten years to make impact.

3.2 BILLION dollars over 4 years, or even 16 billion dollars....does not even make much sense.

The thing is, the money will come if the government stops controlling prices, and if Nigerians accept that there is nothing like cheap electricity. Or free electricity. Once we accept both facts, investment is going to pour in like a large flowing river of water....
so even what Band A people are paying is cheap? You need forgiveness.

Good to know from same ppl who claim obj/Pdp stole 16b$ over 16 yrs and now it suddenly dawned on them that the industry needs billions of dollar investment, just like the fuel subsidy needed to go then

Ojuntana:
Quadrupled ke?
Is it subsidy removal or naira devaluation that increased allocation?
Majorly from naira devaluation and tinubu used the naira devaluation to deceive that he increase revenue by 65%. But if u calculate what revenue should have increased to, it should have been 100%.

What this means is that, even with naira devaluation, Nigeria is at a loss in revenue by 35%.

There is no gain in devaluing your currency.

ODE. Your state's allocation has QUADRUPLED UNDER TINUBU, due in large part to subsidy removal.

THE FEDERAL GOVT HAS 35% OF THE BUDGET WHILE STATES KEEP 65%.

Yet every blessed day, you idiots attack the FG 24/7, completely ignoring your THIEVING STATE GOVERNORS, who have been given full autonomy to generate their own power, and even harness their own natural resources.

YET THEY SIT ON THEIR FAT ASSES doing zilch!!!

JUST CHOPPING MONEY!!!!
Your pathetic attempts at shifting blame from your man in power is disgusting. When Jonathan was president y'all blamed him for everything, including your inability to sustain an eerection but now you want us to blame the governors?

Gettout!

I never made such a claim, son.

Plus, the lesson is simple. It will cost far more than we can concieve to get to the power supply level we need to get to. No excuse to government. Have been saying this since 2013.

Nonsense.
Ask the Chinese to build and manage our electricity system for let's say 50years and then transfer back to us.

That's the only way out. Other than that, any money they borrowed is for the boys

cool Nigeria is a weird country , if you have 48 hours light it begins to look abnormal , if you have two hours it begin to look normal . See we turn our brain upside down to be accepting abnormality as normal .. People can't vex buy fuel now, may be those using gas ...If they improve small fear will be catching you to celebrate them, because you don't know who want to play politics with simple essential thing like light . Where is Siemens sef, shey Government didn't balance up.

What do you expect when incompetent hands are the ones at the helm of the affairs ?
That minister for power seems to me as one of the most incompetent minister among this administration's cabinet
For a Power Minister to be using a Power Bank - is the height of insensitivity,as he was caught at one time!
For a Mi#nister to be using his Grade by Grade in distribution of light and President Tinubu's comfortable,shows we are not ready for any Industrialization in Nigeria - because without a 24/7 Lights 🚨,no Investors - will leave Other Countries - that have Functional Lights and will be coming to Nigeria!
Too many Politics are going on here.
Election will soon be around,we want to see what these Non Performing Ministers will be telling NIGERIANS,as some will soon be saying they want to become Governors!
Let all the Ministers - tell us how they have fared in the delivery of their Works

I don't know why we always have electricity in my area!

Ikeja Electric is always on point! Even when i read here that there's a shut down on the power grid and Ikeja Electric still has a few MW, we go still get light even though it may then go off few times that day only!

We too get light 24/7!

Governors should generate their own electricity just as Obaseki and Otti did…. Go to owerri and you’ll see what they call darkness produced by hopeless uzodinma but Ogun state is worse.

Stable light without increased generated energy is a Mirage, though the topic here is for people with higher knowledge not for all.

How many percentage of Nigeria population enjoy the so called stable light?
Is light not the major reason for Telecoms tariff increase proposal?

Though I may understand that you are not knowledgeable on the matter, the solution to Nigeria light problem has been Proposed and even signed into law by Buhari

Unbundle the so called national grid and allow States give licences to serious minded business people

Electricity is too expensive in Nigeria, so you know that even disconnected customers on estimation are billed? Why are they afraid of issuing out prepaid meters to customers?

Meter people and increase your tariff so those who need the light can pay for it
