Luck State Like Abia state, Unlike Edo and Kogi State That Has NO Governor

Macphenson:
See as Alex Otti is dealing with you left right and centre. As for your ignorant comment, if you followed up the commissioning of that power plant, you would have heard Barth Nnaji mentioned that Alex Otti assisted them with funds when he was still in Diamond Bank, today, providence is smiling on him for his good works.

Am sure you don't have light where U now. Better pray your state is light up like Abia state.

Savage reply.

Does Aba power cover all the local governments in Abia State?

Yes of course

Just cannot remember the name of the former minister under Jonathan that owns the company?

A good mild mannered Yankee trained engineer, always calm & well spoken, unfortunately the Pdp tried their best to frustrate him.

APC with their evil politics actually frustrated his efforts especially with that incompetent Fashola that said 6 months is enough to generate steady power in Nigeria.
Berth Nnaji had good plans for Nigeria in regard to power generation but APC lead by Tinubu, Bakare, Buhari, Fashola and Co said NO.

Owned by private people, just like the Dangote refinery.

It’s another example of the privatisation and deregulation policies of PDP that gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity.

Can you imagine how clueless APC propagandist liars would still be recycling fake news about NNPC refineries, if we didn’t have Dangote refinery

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.

The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.

The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.

Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.

It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”

The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.

It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.

The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”

The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.

It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.

The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.
The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.

The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.

Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.

The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.

The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.

Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.

Wether it was done before him or after him, all state governors should emulate Abia state

Delta state has all it takes to even surpass abia with their huge gas deposits but poor leadership for years in the state won't make that happen anytime soon.

Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'

Jul 11, 2014.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.

According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.

"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.

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.

Is it only Delta ? What about rivers, Akwa ibom and Bayelsa. These two states has abundance of oil and gas deposits. Instead of their governors to use their brain and provide good governance for their people, they are busy decamping to Apc and shouting on your mandate we shall stand.

Ss has the worst set of governors in Nigeria. What they know is collecting allocation every month and be doing absolutely nothing!!

Abia state now have constant power and electricity even the national grid doesn't affect them anymore while Akwa ibom, Bayelsa and rivers are still wallowing in darkness.

The Governor is correct.
I'm in Umuahia, Abia state capital and can attest to the constant electricity.

Those of us over here are not even aware of any collapse in the national grid.
It's 24/7 power up here. Otti is good and God sent.
No be cho cho cho

Since Hope Uzodinma regime power supply in imo state has been zero.

Thanks to Buhari and now Tinubu who did the electricity reform. And Nnaji who built a private IPP.

The Electricity Act 2023 (signed into law by President Tinubu) overhauled Nigeria’s power sector laws and replaced the old 2005 Power Sector Reform Act. Importantly:
States, companies, and individuals can now generate, transmit, and distribute electricity independently within their territories or project areas — no longer restricted to the national grid or traditional utility model.
Small-scale projects (e.g., generation ≤1 MW or distribution ≤100 kW at a site) may be pursued without a licence, which reduces barriers for businesses and investors.
This decentralisation is intended to encourage local power markets, microgrids, off-grid systems, and new private participation across Nigeria.

The Aba Integrated Power Project (often referred to as the Aba IPP) was developed and built by Geometric Power Group, led by Professor Barth (“Bart”) Nnaji, a Nigerian engineer and former Power Minister. It was conceived in March 2004 by Prof. Barth Nnaji and the team at Geometric Power Group. It was officially commissioned on 26 February 2024 in Abia State. It was inaugurated by Nigeria’s Federal Government (represented by the Vice President) and Geometric Power after years of delays and development.
This project is a 141 MW gas-fueled integrated power plant (expandable to 188 MW) located in the Osisioma Ngwa area of Aba, Abia State, supplying electricity generation and distribution across nine local government areas within the Aba ring-fenced zone.
Financing was supported by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and other investors.
i understand folks will tell us Otti and LP did it, don't panic guys.

Which yeye Buhari and Tinubu?
All thanks to Goodluck Jonathan, Ngozi Okonji Iwuala and Alex Otti. They are the drivers of that project.

Barth Nnaji said on the day of commissioning that Alex Otti helped them with funds while he was in Diamond Bank. Shettima was there when he said it

For your information I submitted my CV for work there in 2011 when I finished my youth service.

Una dey ment with foolish propaganda.

Is Prof. Barth Nnajibstill not alive?

What has APC done to improve on power supply ? Nothing!! Only to share TSN among themselves and increase power and electricity bill to steal more money.
Can nepotism and tribalism allow APC take him as the minister of power?!
No

Theodore Orji of Abia state was investing in electricity, Gringory Obi of Anambra state was investing in a brewery.

And you as a zombie decided to bring Peter Obi into the discussion. That man has really dealt with you people so much

Why you nor get sense like this bruh

There are over 3000 power plants in the USA. In Nigeria there are less than thirty. To develop as a Nigerian city you need your own power plant like Aba

The root cause is because of the lack of quality human capital in those states there are people richer than bath nnaji in delta, bayelsa and rivers states but they will rather use their wealth to build mega hotels than invest it in power generation.

slivertongue:
That is the story of a state making strides

In pursuit of Lagos


To be none for developmental projects
And hospitality friendly to outsiders


If you get money go invest in abai na Lagos boy be the governor

Governor Alex Otti is a governor to watch!

He is definitely a trailblazer as far as power generation, transmission and distribution is concerned in Abia State, aka, "God's Own State".

Other States of the federation need to borrow a leaf from the Abia State model if these incessant national grid collapse is to be addressed once and for all.

Abia State is a role model for other States to emulate!

But you are literate na. Without Electricity Act 2023, the IPP will be under the national grid.

This is criticism borne out of bitterness and there's nothing constructive in it.

If the Governor had shown no interest in that sector, the story would have remained the same for hapless Abians till date.

Learn to appreciate good things when you see them.

You won't kpai by so doing!
