But the Atiku man is allegedly the co-owner of Mikano generators, according to Omojuwa. And apparently, a lot of ex military officers are also involved.

Then you have got foreign countries that make a lot of money from it as well. Nigeria's power sector is deeper than rap.


Still in the 10% angle, but the JMG, Mikano aren't even the guys, it's the SUMMEC,ELWPAQ,YAMAHA, I BETTER PASS MY NEIGHBOUR importers that are running the market....

For every 50kva Mikano, 100 i pass my neighbour, 50 3KVA Gens have gone down.....

What do you think about Fayemi as the solid minerals minister?

That man has a stellar CV in conflicts resolution, military, and international relations/politics.

Shouldn't he be the minister for foreign affairs, rather than what they gave him?

Nigeria needs a better foreign policy cos all the clowns they keep putting there are some of the dumbest folks ever.

The thing is none of these past governors really fit into any of the positions

Most of the appointments were based on their general performance as governors

I think foreign affairs would have made sense too due to his CV but then again the sector is not as crucial as the solid minerals sector

Looking at the appointments,very few of the guys look bright and I feel he was trying to place the bright guys in the crucial sectors

That appointment is one minus that cannot be overlooked. But I think that the man is seriously looking at diversification and he needs a trusted hand in that sector. Well that sector might just be another power sector now. Attention will be shifted to solid minerals and agriculture according to the president. Dr Fayemi is a brilliant mind no doubt and I hope it won't turn out to be another albatross.

With Fashola in the saddle as Minister of Power, all the SW governors should start paying serious attention to generating power in each of their states. If Seye Makinde the former gubernatorial aspirant of Oyo State had won his bid, his blueprint on power would have been implemented, because he is a top-notch mechanical engineer with a background in power generation.

He wanted to use the Turkish example - set up dual-fueled micro-turbines in every local govt area, that can run on natural gas and LPG. Ensure community devpt and residents associations are on the board of the local govt arm of the DISCOs, who would be entrusted with monitoring, debt collection and supervision of such turbines. undecided

Ensure those associations also monitor distribution and transmission facilities and report back to relevant DISCOs on their status. Where there is a need for a new transformer, and the community is unprepared to wait for any length of time for the DISCO to replace it, the community can tax its residents, buy the transformer, install it and ensure it is connected to the national grid. They would then be entitled to a rebate in their electricity bills over one year. cheesy

80% of Akwa Ibom is now covered by electricity and they have the most stable electricity supply in Nigeria, courtesy of the Ibom Power Plant which has been opened and is fed with gas from Seven Energy Gas Processing Plant. General Electric (GE) and afew multinationals have relocated to Akwa Ibom because of the stable power in that area. shocked shocked

SW should team up with investors in this regard. Ondo State has oil wells and gas fields, so does Badagry in Lagos as well as parts of Ogun State. This task is achievable! undecided

There are too many private owned power-generation companies on paper that are yet to take off in Lagos and Ogun. Let the SW governors partner with them, or build their plants from scratch. There are World Bank grants for power-related projects and AfDB grants as well that can be deployed for this purpose. wink

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by zimoni(f): 7:34pm On Nov 11, 2015
In my own opinion, states do not have the fund to generate sufficient electricity for the populace.

What I think FG should do is to scrap the old privatization and issue licenses to IPP firms for various states.

Each IPP company should focus on a state for electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

Firms may merge to cater for a state.

FG must ensure the power firms produce stable electricity, pre-paid meter and utility cards.

Fashola would only supervise the whole process, tell me how he won't succeed if he has the support of Presidency.

Cabals will have no option than to invest into power sector and make more legit money.

The most important thing is political will. If we are willing, we can make it happen. It's not a further maths for crying out loud.

Crude oil always comes with associated gas. You can't separate them inside any oil well. cheesy

Some companies do not just drill for oil, they also put in a fractionating plant next door to the well, to tap the gass, strip it, dry it and then process it into the various components such as methane, propane, butane, pentane etc. undecided

Here is a report on the state of power supply in Akwa Ibom:

Akwa Ibom To Enjoy Uninterrupted Power Supply Soon –Udo | Daily Independent Newspapers|

....One of the critical things he did was to send me to Ibom Power, because the state government has invested significantly in Ibom Power and it was not doing what it supposed to do, so he sent me there to clean it up and today, we have cleaned up the place. It is now a viable investment that Investors are coming across different parts of the world and want to part of it.

We have gotten the biggest units there running effectively and we have installed a technology that allows us to produce electricity while the rest of the country is not producing and when the grid is down, Akwa Ibom state becomes an island of steady power. That is what His Excellency has done.

Concerning the recent improvement that we have seen in terms of power being delivered to homes, when His Excellency came in, we noticed that the problem was not generation, it was not so much of transmission even though there was a little problem there, but it was the distribution, so he summoned PHED Company and told them that they needed to improve immediately and right away they agreed to increase the power they deliver to Akwa Ibom people by 20 megawatts. That was very critical because previously, even though we were producing power enough to feed this state, they will not connect people to that power.

When His Excellency summoned the management of PHED, they agreed to add another 20mw. Now, that 20mw is not a new construction or new investment but just accepting the extra load. You know, for commercial and technical reasons they do not accept loads but when His Excellency met and persuaded them and though they are private business, they succumbed to adding another 20mw load.

That means if the load of the state was only 20mw by adding another 20mw, it might have risen to 40mw and that is what really allows us to have improved power now. His Excellency is not going to leave them alone; we are going to look at different approaches to make sure our people have power in their homes from all the power we produce in Akwa Ibom which is now more than 110 megawatts.

In the next two months we are going to move to 150mw, we want our people to have that power and the governor is looking at all the options. So that is a man that knows what he is doing, that is the man that is building on what his predecessor had done, of course he was part of that administration. That the IPP is running very effectively, is not magic but just the kind of leadership qualities imbued in the governor of the state. http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/09/akwa-ibom-to-enjoy-uninterrupted-power-supply-soon-udo/

I have a friend that works with Mobil in Eket. He said the Light is not stable at all.

I believe Osogbo and Afam in Rivers state have the best electricity supply in Nigeria.

Osogbo is stable because of the National Control Centre located there, while Afam is a power generating village.

Maybe Shiroro too.

Egbon, it is being done even as we speak. I have friends who were just transferred to Akwa Ibom because their companies relocated there, and in Uyo, Ikot Abasi and environs they enjoy like 21 hours of power daily!

Gas from crude oil wells is known as associated gas (AG), while gas that occurs naturally in gas fields is known as Non-associated gas (NAG). Both types of gas consists of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). But the percentage of natural gas or methane is higher in NAG, than AG. While AG is richer in liquified petroleum gas (LPG) than natural gas. You can install a gas processing plant that would separate the associated gas or non-associated gas into different types of gases ranging from methane (i.e. natural gas) all the way down to pentane and hexanes. Hope this answers the question.

With the probe into rice waivers, it's almost as if the so called increase in metric tons were actually increase in importation. Those that were given license were busy importing more than their quota while claiming increased local production.

Adesina was fantastic with policies but implementation was very poor. He was the one eyed man in Jonathan's blind administration

Well that sector might just be another power sector now. Attention will be shifted to solid minerals and agriculture according to the president. Dr Fayemi is a brilliant mind no doubt and I hope it won't turn out to be another albatross.

Fayemi is definitely a brilliant mind and his CV might be the best of lot. However, I just think based on his achievements when he was in the UK and other places - he has everything to take Nigeria's foreign policy to the next level. If we're being honest with ourselves, he failed in Ekiti, hence that "stomach infrastructure" thug was able to wrestle power from APC. I guess that's why I have my doubts about him. But regardless, I'm not really bothered cos folks don't really pay attention to that sector due how dependent Nigeria is on oil.

As for Fashola, it is just natural to be scared once you take emotions out of it - and focus on his career progression/projection to the next level. The power sector isn't Lagos. With that portfolio, he'll have to fight a lot of battles and the average Nigerian will have to feel the impact in real time. That's how they'll grade him. It is basically like throwing yourself open into the court of public opinions, where folks who don't understand anything are the judges and the judgement would be based on the impact you have on their lives. And anything they perceive as failure can be a career killer. I just hope he prevails - he's a warrior for taking something as daunting as that.

Also, I like him as the works and housing minister. That's perfect. Someone just needs to rein the incumbent fat boy in Lagos in, to stop antagonising his superior. Lagos needs Fashola's ministry for a lot of concessions from the FG and they both need to work together. Hopefully, he'll extend a few things to the SW and help in the integration of the region. Nigeria also need new cities and if he can help build a few, that will be nice.

Kemi Adeosun is the star of the list. I like her appointment a lot. But folks will have to be extremely patient with her cos Iweala messed up the country's economy with her voodoo economics and magical numbers -hence the economy is in comatose. She has her work cut out by I believe she has what it takes to excel. It is a tedious job but she should make us proud.

I don't know the rest apart from Lai Mohammed. The man is a parrot and he got the right portfolio.
