Fashola is wasting his time building a power plant using the national grid. when he is through the power generated will be enjoyed by all states. secondly as long as lagos accounts for 55% of phcn revenue, the govt will neva, i repeat neva let me build a private grid. Ask Tinubu why OBJ opposed his IPP.

nakedall:
what about Agege, Iyanopaja and others? or electricity na only for rich people? Fashola use you head now before it's too late.

jmaine:
The same people who voted in those, also voted for GEJ in a good fashion,so why all the fuss 

Eko Ile:
Fashola is doing no such thing, he's not touching the national grid, he's laying his own underground cable to service the targeted areas. It's there in the article and you can not guarantee uninterrupted power supply to any area in Nigeria with the national grid, so obviously, they are not talking about anything that has to do with the federal government.

dayokanu:
E be like say Generator importers dey vex gannn

While fashola has hit the ground running

The Odechukwu is already planning to extend his tenure before starting it.

If you voted Jonathan and not PDP Goodluck to you

We voted Fashola, Ajimobi, Amosun, Aregbesola, Fayemi and ACN.

Up SW

Pure Truth.

ladej:
please educate them further
make dem vex na, d same way gsm annihilated NITEL na the same way constant power go annihilate generating sets, in Jesus name, AMEN.
one of the ways you know a great leader is succession planning. as bad as tinubu was/is, he saw talent in fashion , and in the untypically naija way he actually promoted this talent to the highest office in the state [leaving his ego, sentiments, comments out of it]. he saw a better man and didnt shirk. for me that is to be commended.

ladej:
i meant fashola. sorry for the error.

Eko Ile:
You are wrong.


Osun state didn't vote for GEJ and GEJ net a measly 300, 000 votes in the SW minus Lagos where he took 2 million votes out of 6 million registered voters meaning the 4 million majority registered voters didn't vote for GEJ.

There are 15 million registered voters in the SW and only 2.7 million voted for GEJ, almost 13 million stayed at home meaning the majority didn't go to the polls talk less voting for GEJ.


Try familiarize yourself with the election results in the SW. GEJ sabi who voted and didn't vote for him.

[size=16pt]Now Mr Babapupa, sorry Eko Ile . .make your judgement   [/size]

VERDICT : -  The south West also Plessed   their Hand   for GEJ

^-- I suspect that if 20K MW were available today, it still wouldn't be enough. According to some of these articles I've read, Lagos alone can use 10K MW today. Imagine how much more the rest of the country would use if it were available?

This is why the FGs sabotage of Tinubu's efforts were so harmful, imo. It hurt Lagos, but also hurt the rest of Nigeria even more. Self-sufficient Lagos means more electricity available to send to the rest of the country

ekt_bear:
^-- You are probably correct. Even this 10K MW for Lagos might be too small.

We really have a long way to go in this country. Hopefully GEJ privatizes PHCN asap

There are several issues that are plagued with the power sector and IMO, not even privatization will solve it although it can remove few but not that much. An aggressive reform and overhaul is needed. For instance, giving power to the states to generate their own electricity although the FG system can be tied into state system i.e. if they wish. Privatization would create a unique set of problems and make make electricity charges go further high knowing that Nigerian companies are greedy yet they deliver on half baked products. For instance I pay between $24 (lowest) and $42 (highest ) monthly and it's not subsidized, I strongly doubt if that will be the case if companies are left to charge without restrictions.

dollypi:
I don't understand what the upwards review of the prices have got to do with privatization. The investors into the telecommunications sector didn't have to be wooed by how profitable NITEL was. The need was there, and that IMHO is what is most important.

For crying out loud, if the amount every Nigerian pays to fuel generator sets is not enough indication of how profitable it can be for investors, I don't know what else will convince them.

@ekt-bear

IMO I am not disputing privatization, in fact I'm all for privatizing the industry but keep in mind that without a better reform such as delegating the power to regulate power to states will cause a lot of confusion. Even with privatization, it will cost tens of billions of dollars of private money just to bring certain states like Lagos up to per. Also, states do not have power to regulate commerce which might prompt certain states to roll solo like Lagos is doing regardless of private or not. Just because Lagos needs 20k MW to be power stable does not mean that a state with 30% population of Lagos need 20k MW.  Now if you have states making that decision, states have the prerogative to determine if they want the power sector in their states privatized or not. States can determines how they wish to centralize their service, et al.

kodewrita:
For all those complaining about the choice of location, Adding more power through a power grid means that the unused power can now be distributed to OTHER AREAS OF LAGOS. Thats 114MW extra that can be given to Iyana Ipaja and the others. more for Lagos island does not leave out other areas.

Its a Win Win.

Now, if only NEPA/PHCN would stop hiding away all those prepaid meters.

There are minions of plans in the country, please let us know when any materialize.
