SmartPolician:
The problem of power is not by gragra. It's a function of lack of innovative strategy and investment in the industry.

Tinubu cannot tell states to start generating power and go to sleep. There must a strong legislation that compels them to devote a significant fraction of their budget to power generation, transmission and distribution.

The federal ministry of power must work with state commissioners of power to see to it that states are steadily making efforts to take charge of their own power dynamics.

I always say that running a country is no rocket science. We just have the worst of us running this country. Nigeria doesn't have a long way to go; Nigeria hasn't even started at all.
Wike has what it takes to deal with the corrupt saboteurs in the power Sector. I strongly believe so.

I still remember fashola heading this ministry like it was yesterday.
The worst minister of power ever.

All talk no action. Darkness was a regular.

I concur… however as someone rightly stated, as power has been privatised the minister powers may not be unilateral.

I think mr Adelabu is doing a great job. I watched his ministerial briefing the other day and achievement in the power sector

Wike is working only in one state out of 36.
All other ministers are working in 36 states.

Don't be fooled, he is not getting anything done!

Where are the schools?
Where are the health centers?
How many jobs has he created in FCT?
What is the minimum wage in FCT?


Despite working in one one state, some other silent ministers have performed better.


Like Tunji Ojo, Festus Keyamo, Dave Umahi.

By the time he is expected to show results in 36 states, you will know that handling only FCT is easier..

Even in Rivers he is so overrated because he likes to make carnivals while commissioning flyovers...

Over priced flyovers for that matter!


No health care, No education, No human capital development, Civil servants did not have even 1 naira increment in salaries throughout the 8 years.

Wike sabi fool una sha.
lol..Bros even his political Enemies have admitted in public that minus his Anger issues he is a Top performer. Dele Momodu admitted as much on National Tv. You won’t die if you say the Truth bros Abi na Only Obi sabi perform for the whole country ni?

The power sector holds the keys to Nigerian industrial and economic development. Unfortunately, successive governments have not been able to make it work.

Tinubu Should save Nigeria by putting Wike in Charge of the power sector. It Appears that Wike knows how to get the job done, there's no argument about that.
if its by gragra and shouting, you should put him in the frontlines.....atleast bokoharam will be scared to death, dont you think?

Power has been privatized since 2013 except for transmission.

Since then power ministers have nothing much to do..
You know this things.

The only solution to the power problem is too let market forces determine price / bring in more competitors.
Government should remove hand totally.
But the outcry will be massive.

Subsidy should Instead then go to manufacturing companies in form of tax waivers and start ups

Been to many third world countries with 24hours power supply and the bills are in tune with minimum wage.

And believe me i am not talking about Paris or London where the president goes to enjoy uninterrupted AC.

All we have to do is copy their blueprint and replicate it here, tweak it till we get it right.

The administration of Bola Tinubu has not prioritized power supply. If they did Nigerians would have seen results.


Weeks after Bola Tinubu wa sworn in, he wanted a new Private Jet, less than 2 weeks after, the money manifested, the new Jet was bought and paid for and the old one put on sale.......That was an intentional act.

But issues like power supply, education of the girl child, a lot of out of school Nigerian children, maternal mortality,insecurities. Those are not addressed, When Nigerians voice their frustration, either his handlers gaslight us (its not that bad.) or we get the popular Buhari trope (All that was caused by the Buhari regime)
to put things in place in Nigeria is easy,the problem is greed. Like what a stakeholder in this government said to me,he said the president came in to grab his own and he wasn't sincere in some of his policies. I always like it when someone is honest not being a sycophant.

The power sector is highly compromised. We need to go back to the drawing board. Putting unnecessary generated electricity on a compromised line is a recipe for disaster.

one of the major problem is trying to prioritize one sex over the other, it hasn't worked and it work.

That his aggressive attitude makes contractors, civil servants, security agencies, citizens etc to avoid clashing with him. That's the only kind of person that can bring Nigeria out of this mess of epileptic power supply, national grid collapse, estimated billing, dilapidated transmission system etc.
I hear you. You want to compare fct, where there's seamlessness in administration succession to power ministry that is controlled by people tinubu is even wary of. Those power sector oligarchs will just dust off one leather backed swivel chair and offer wike to sit on. There's where gra GRA will get to and bow to a stone wall. Na today?

From all indication right now thats what he is doing.
I was a strong supporter when he was elected but 2 years later, he has no clue how to turn the economy around. He will leave us with more debts than before. And he will blame Buhari for all the debts.

Dele Momodu doesn't have sense more than me.
Also you won't tell me my truth. It is my truth not you truth.

So let me repeat my truth to you.

Going by his antecedents, Wike hardly undertakes projects or works that are recurrent in nature...
He only focuses on high cost projects that have little or no regular maintenance liability.

I am sure you know why, I don't have to spell it out.

He neglected many areas in Rivers State and focused on flyovers.

I am sure you know why.

Dave Umahi once told us why.

Dave was doing big flyovers for 4 billion, Wike was doing smaller ones for 10 billion.
cheesy

Make una dey mumu una sef.

I think Wike works, but he's highly overrated..

I can't score him more than 50 percent.

That is my truth.

let me just be honest,some of us are in Apc for interests because I personally don't see any major breakthrough in this government.

Once this year is gone,next year will be campaign year and nobody should expect anything and if by any chance he doesn't change the economy now then he has wasted the 8 years. There is nothing he will do in second term.

lol second term.....Now that he has to be impressing and jostling for second term, he didn't do it
You expect him to work harder in second term......lol
I bet you, he will spend more time in Paris and London if he wins second term.
Nigeria has not been blessed with a capable leader in the last 10 years.
We are going from mediocrity to mediocrity.
