Honestly if we solve power problem in Nigeria, over 80% of our economic problem is solved.

Just give Nigerians 24/7 light and you will see wonders in the economy.

MEGA4BILLION:
His failure in the ministry of power would be loud like thunder strike, it is not moulding of blocks. If you doubt go and ask Babatunde Fashola

Eteka1:
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.

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.

Philipponzaghi:
Wike is in charge of the minister of FCT position. Let him focus on that for now

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.

One simple step will change everything and that step is by ensuring every household is mattered. The reason why you don't have to call MTN to come and repair their broke down mast is because it is pay as you go, you give me light, I give you money, no light, no money. It is as simple as that. Then bypass should attract not less than 6months in prison without option of fine.

Svoboda:
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?

SmartPolician:
Metering has a role, but the problem is way beyond metering. You see, most Nigerians are too poor to afford stable electricity. That's a fact because energy is not cheap.

Back to metering, even if you meter people, they'll still bypass metres to enjoy something they cannot afford. Most homes that cannot fuel their generators cannot pay for stable electricity. The moment you metre them, they will bypass appliances that heavily consume power and connect those that lightly consume electricity.

Part of Nigeria's problem today is that the Discos don't generate enough money to buy power from Gencos due to power theft and losses, leaving a huge deficit that only the government can fill.

That's why I said, we need to unbundle the national grid. States have to step in and start looking for sources of power generation in their localities. If possible, every LGA should have companies that generate, transmit and distribute power. That way, we can reduce losses and theft because these companies that supply power can easily identify users who steal their energy.

Geometrix:
I like your submission but I want to ask does it that the current Discos do not have the capacity to identify those that steals their power?

Eteka1:
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.

KnowAll:
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.

Asonaijaaso:
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.[/b][/color]

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)

Nadingo:
Elrufai would've been the best man for that job. Wonder what went wrong between the duo.

gidigbam1:
Only a Wike can fix Nigeria Power Sector. They have a very strong cabal that will never allow anything to work. Therefore you need a ruthless, minister weho doesn't give a damn like Wike for the sector to succeed.

Someone that has the balls to revoke PDP secretariat building, will not think twice in revoking the license of any Disco or Gencos that are not performing.

Eteka1:
exactly my point. Government is 100% in charge of transmission, he would have fixed that by now. He would also have whipped those recalcitrant DISCOs into line or revoked their contract or license by now
