You didn't answer my question sir. Does lagos have coal? Yes or No.

Irony1:
You know why I said it is all audio is because, Nigeria is a signatory to the Paris accord on Environmental pollution. All signatories will not be allowed to invest in initiatives that increase pollution. There is a reason why the govt has not even tried to revive Oji River power station, which is a coal fired power station. I don't understand why they prey on the ignorance of the people for this.

can you state any part of the agreement that bars countries from investing in coal fired power plants? Many signatories of the agreement including China are building massive coal fired power plants. The agreement only commits signatories to reducing greenhouse emissions to 1.5°C in their own way.

You haven't been to Enugu that's why you're talking this thrash

YourMaale will respond to you when she returns. We are currently busy

Irony1:
Don't you think you are too old for this nonsense?

is coal the only means of generating electricity ?

HenryWilliams:
We don't have the balls for that.
The UK that teleprompt our Govt isn't a signatory. They ordered us to sign, effectively crippling our power generation whilst they continually burn.
They don't want competition in that sector

Not completely true .... Countries can set their target, it isn't forced ....

Exactly. Heavy industries still rely on 'dirty' energy sources because clean energy alternatives aren't yet sufficient to power them. Consequently, countries like China must continue using fossil fuels for now, even as they commit to reducing emissions by diversifying into cleaner energy sources.

Macphenson:
Am happy for this set of south east governors. They seems to be in competition of who will out perform each other

Please put Soludo aside, he is not part of the South East working governors. Man is full of noise and propaganda. When construct a 5 kilometres tiny road he'll make the noise of achievements of someone who built railway from Kano to Niger Republic. All Empty!

Good. China is still using coal for electricity till today. Do what works for us

That's the way to go. With coal, I believe the cost will be more affordable compared to natural gas plants.

1) if you don't stay in Lagos then I believe on dint know anything about lag but want to flow with una beef so better you faxe your state. God bless you

2) of you stat in lag then I will help out and enlighten you a lil cis maybe you not privileged to informations so let start.....


According to info I told you before about IPPS and you said I should be supporting lies or what did you say? that was when I knew you were ignorant of so many things.


Apart from Egbin Power Plant, Lagos is working on several other power projects and independent power plants (IPPs) to improve electricity supply across the state.
Some of the major ones are:

Akute Independent Power Plant — originally built to power Lagos water facilities. Lagos recently signed a new deal to revive and expand it to about 26MW after years of inactivity. �
Businessday NG +1
Mainland Power Limited — part of Lagos State’s new embedded power agreements aimed at increasing reliable electricity within the city. �
Businessday NG +1
Viathan Engineering Limited — operating embedded power systems in Lagos and included in the state’s new electricity expansion programme. �
Nairametrics +1
Victoria Island Power Plant — a 30MW gas-fired embedded plant being developed by Elektron Energy and Wärtsilä to provide more stable electricity to Victoria Island and surrounding business districts. �
Business Post Nigeria +1
Island Power Project — one of Lagos State’s older embedded generation projects supplying government facilities and parts of Lagos Island.
Alausa Power Project — dedicated power project serving the Lagos State Secretariat and nearby government infrastructure.
Lekki Embedded Power Projects — Lagos is pushing more private-sector electricity projects around Lekki, especially with the growth of industries, refineries, ports, and the Lekki Free Zone.
Recently, Lagos State said these projects could raise embedded generation from below 60MW currently to about 200–400MW within 2–3 years. �
Nairametrics +1
The idea is for Lagos to rely less only on the national grid and create more local electricity generation closer to where power is needed.

Try hard Lagos will always be ahead kudos to MBA apologise if s spelling is wrong, otti my man, Soludo the Prof and Hope that loves yellow yellow babes and d silent governor Francis

At long last.
And if done very well you will see that electricity will be the cheapest in that region attracting industries and businesses. It is much cheaper than this gas thing we are putting all our eggs in.

Go to China and other countries that are going green and decommissioning their old coal plants and get one on the cheap. Get to top mining engineering companies to dig out your feedstock and situated the plants close by, within a conveyor belt distance and you are in business.

You will.see how other sleepy states with coal deposits mainly in the middle-belt will follow suit. Imagine a state like Kogi that has large coal deposits waiting for gas supply from the Delta, just ridiculous. Meanwhile the Chinese manufacturers in that state are burning the coal to make cheap ceramics.

That is why we also advocate for foreign participation in government. Make a Chinese man your Minister of Trade and Industry and he will tell the truth and lead aright without sentiment.

I stopped reading when I saw endorsement for second term. This project nah audio

Kingozymandias:
Wow you left ibadan and went to their state to see this yourself? interesting

that's not how to make a point.... Am in Enugu and I know what am saying

TK9680:

Because he AANOUNCED a coal-fired power plant?

What will you then do when the plant begins operations

Meanwhile, what has he done to employ enough civil servants that will improve government services and public utilities like water supply, free public schools for all children, sanitation etc

Why should we not also be going green?

Why should we not be manufacturing green power plants here like the Chinese are doing, even though they were an extreme poverty, bicycle-riding paupers in 1960 when we got independence from Britain that subjected them to forced use of opium during their Century of Humiliation

Most times African leaders enter into such agreement because of one aid/loan they expect to get. So Is Nigeria ready to go the way of self sufficiency? Until then....

MadPolitician:
Then Nigeria should withdraw. Its no big deal
No one will kill Nigerians if Nigeria withdraws from such agreements.
Many countries have done similar things before.
If you sign an agreement and it does not work out for you, you withdraw from the agreement. You don't stay there and die simply because you were hoodwinked into signing such agreements..

Nice initiative but is dead on arrival. Coal fired power plants like countries using it have no alternative than to maintain it but maintenance is expensive.
With my 23 years of experience in power plants what the south east need is a Gas pipeline network I swear even if takes six years to complete meaning each of the industrial areas in the south east have gas. I know ofAbia state , I don't know of imo state. Is a pity the power plant they built in Ebonyi State never run for once a nice initiative but who runs a power plant on diesel is suicide financially.
Wish Enugu, Anambra , Ebonyi can key into this.

no you are not, i have seen some of your posts in this platform where you trash their region so why suddenly claiming to be from there. what is your end game?

Meanwhile, Soludo is at Awka begging for a debate over Biafra..

Stop being stup1d
Anambra have their needs while Enugu have theirs too

Jcoleworld911:

and steady power supply shouldn't be part of Anambra needs?

Hmmmm ..... we're going to add value to it by using it to generate electricity.

Is this how you add value to a product? ... by using it? Seems like it is a must for politicians to use certain terms ... regardless if they apply. Didn't read it all ....but wouldn't be surprised if sustainability is stuck somewhere in there. I hope the power plant would be one to extract the pollutants before releasing the fumes in the atmosphere. I'm getting vibes that because the coal has about the lowest pollutants... there's no need to worry about air pollution. But why not use gas? ....can we move forward?

I received this message today from the electricity company and it made me to think if it is possible in Nigeria. If Discos will tell you that you are paying too much.

Forget that Yeye Paris accord, even the current American president has rubbished it and pullout from it, today his administration is still encouraging the use of coal, back here in Nigeria, it's the federal government that signed the accord, federal government may not embark on a large scale coal power plants project, but I think states willing can do so on a small scale level, no be Enugu state 660mw coal plant go spoil the global climate, the governor know better before deciding to embark on it

Which region? For ur info am ibo chineke agba gi oku

In June 2023, President Tinubu signed an ammendment to the Electricity Act into law. The new law allows states to issue licenses to companies to generate, transmit and distribute electricity within their states. The law says that the states must first enact a law to regulate electricity generation, transmission and distribution before they can take over the regulatory functions of the NERC.
