Minister for power, Mr adelabu is a square peg in a round hole. Dude is a complete daft. Before his appointment what was he doing. Some one without experience, a learner trying to lead. Nigeria is the case of a blind man leading the blind.

There is nothing else to say. He said it all. If Nigerian government can focus all its resources and fix power problem sustainably, the rate of industrialisation and development will skyrocket in the medium and long term. All things being equal.

Do you know how much an average business spent on fuel per day? Do you even know how much that majority of Nigerians are paying for darkness?

It's a deliberate attempt to keep Nigeria in darkness because I see no reason why a country like Nigeria with all the resources can't boast of 20k megawatt.

So you think Nigeria's power sector issue can be fixed within one or two years? No be the Minister daft, na you be the confirm daft. Always looking for quick fix without considering the age long rot in the power sector.

Liars and propagandists are destined for the worst part of hellfire.

politicoNG:
Mikano International Limited, promoters of Mikano Generators, has denied any link to former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The Managing Director of the company, Firas Mamlouk in a statement said Mikano is not affiliated to the former vice president in any way.

The statement reads: “The attention of the Management of Mikano International Limited, promoters of Mikano Generators (amongst other products), has been drawn to numerous articles and press statements stating that the Company is owned by/affiliated with Atiku Abubakar, GCON.

“This disclaimer is a notice to the general public that the news does not represent the true facts as it concerns Mikano International Limited. Please be informed that Mikano International Limited is not owned, affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with HE Atiku Abubakar GCON.

“Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard the news”.

“For example, in our cement, every N1 we turn around, 52 kobo go to the government in various taxes—30 per cent corporate tax, 7.5 per value-added tax, two per cent for education, and one per cent,for health. When money is being made in the company, if you want to take the money, all the shareholders will have to pay the government 10 per cent as withholding tax again. This is for the Federal Government. When you add the state and the local government, everything now is something else,” he stressed.

This is crazy and all the tax extorted goes down the drain.

One reason I support Peter Obi is his plan to make the tax work for the growth of Nigerians.

Na you gangan e the confirmest daftie. What do you gain from always looking for quick excuses for overpaid public servants without considering what they promised?
That is how we allowed Fashola, Buhari and APC dribble us with fake promises about electricity since 2015.

pendy79:
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis. Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.

He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”

[b]Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.

BlackfireX:
Then build one

grin
No, my friend. Build 40-50 power plants for each that exists today. Where I live, the country produces around 1.5 kW per each citizen. That is more than enough. The last blackout we had was one year ago and lasted for 5 minutes only.

Nigeria produces 40-50 times less on a good day. On a bad day, Nigeria produces almost nothing. So, to overcome that, it is NOT enough to build one mro power plant, or a transformer. It will take many years if we start working NOW, and if we don't embezzle even one kobo in the process. How realistic is it to achieve so much? Not really realistic, we all know.

If Dangote decided to go into the power sector to solve the epilectic power supply in the country within 5 years, they will start calling him a monopolist.

Abeg government should give Dangote the go ahead to solve this electricity generation and distribution problem once and for all.

Don't deceive yourself, no government can solve the problem of electricity in 8 years. Yo solve Nigeria electricity problem, the government will spend minimum of $200b-$300b (na just minimum o). At least, $100-$150b on transmission alone; powerline ( modern power lines) that covers the entire country with landmass of about 1 million square kilometres. Substations, at least, 2 in every local government worth. Then power plants that has the capacity to generate at least, 50,000 MW hours all round the year for 8766 hours which equals to 50,000 times 8766 MWh which is about 440 million MW hours annually. The plants will be built at $1 billion per MWh capacity it'll be equals to $50b, say $100b on powerlines, $50b on substations nationwide will be equals to like $200b then each street needs new generation transformers which could cost the entire country nothing less than $20b. Add everything it will equal $220b... This does not solve everything but it's just for foundational structure. The government still needs more investments in the power sector after this.... Now, Nigeria's budget is 54 trillion naira ie like $30b. How do you think this government can solve it?!. I be Tinubu supporter but I know many problems in Nigeria are foundational problems and can't be solved in 20 years unless miracles happen.
