Power Supply Drops By 1,589MW! by intrepid(op): 12:30pm On Feb 16, 2016
Power supply to households and businesses across the country has plunged by 1,589.69 megawatts since the nation achieved its peak generation of 5,074.70MW on February 2.

Electricity supply on Sunday, February 14, dropped to 3,485MW from the 3,558.39MW generated that day, data obtained from the Federal Ministry of Power on Monday showed.

Power generation and supply stood at 4,150.64MW and 4,068.5MW on February 11, according to the Presidential Task Force on Power.

The PUNCH reported on Monday that officials at the ministry said on Sunday that issues around gas pipeline rupturing by vandals as well as oil theft had led to a plunge in power generation.

They, however, noted that the Federal Government was working tirelessly to address the problem.

The recent dip in electricity generation came after the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, had promised that the country would increase its power production by 2,000MW before the end of this year.

He stated that given the various plans undertaken by the present administration in the sector, power generation would increase by 2,000MW in the last quarter of this year.

Fashola stated that a lot had changed in the management of power in Nigeria in recent times.

“Distribution of power is no longer a government business but has been taken over by private companies. Also, government has privatised power generation, which has steered towards the full privatisation of the sector with transmission aspect being managed by Manitoba International of Canada,” he had said.

They want us to pay more for a lesser service delivery. How can power supply drop when body odor is still strong?

There is no significant or noticeable difference between power drop and power increase in this country.

I just dey laugh.

Where are those clowns who were showing us pictures of the frozen drinks in their refrigerators, just 2 weeks after Buhari was sworn in, as "evidence" of Buhari's achievements in the power sector despite the fact that the man still hasn't done SQUAT or even contributed "Tiger head" batteries to the power sector?
I hope you can now show us pictures of your sweat-drenched beds and heavily soaked pillows?

The dry season has come in, water levels at hydroelectric facilities have dropped... Lo and behold, the body language was nothing but a fable concocted by his infinitely ignorant praise singers and butt lickers.

->Where is the so called body language?
->Nigeria's perennial power problems is attributed to the inconsistent gas supply and gas pipe vandalism.
->A more effective and long lasting alternative should be developing dams in coastal regions; they are more efficient, durable and far less prone to vandalism which will greatly improve and stabilize power supply.
->Dams are also more environmental friendly and also a major source of renewable energy.
