I Can Provide Stable Power In Eight Months, Fashola Boasts.( Flash Back ) by kurt09(m): 8:54am On Mar 04, 2016 |
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. Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point. He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.” Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths. Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power. Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security. The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts. This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state. The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state. On his part, the State Commissioner in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition was about continuity in public infrastructure programme of the state government. www.independentnig.com/2015/03/can-provide-stable-power-eight-months-fashola-boasts/ 1 Like 2 Shares |

rottennaija:where you got it wrong is that no country in this world is free from racketeers,saboteurs and pipeline vandals,only if infrastructures are well secured,such practices wouldn't be carried out. Have you asked yourself why such practices are being carried out and how our infrastructures are not properly protected? Government is our problem. Leave your shop opened in America and tell me thieves wouldn't come in to steal your goods. But you have to secure your properties well to ensure they're safe |

But the man hasn't spent 8months. We will crucify him after one year. Talk is cheap. Little did he know that he would become the power minister after that statement. We will soon know who was lying then. Karma is real. |

Fashola thought he would get money to throw at the problem like was the case in Lagos. Lagos increase in power delivery was possible because of short distance that meant the challenge of transmission and re-distribution was virtually non-existent. Two important things Fashola and his advisers should know (1) Even if he builds 10,000 MW this morning there is no transmission apparatus to support distribution of same (2) If oil sold at $200pb and he had all the money to build transmission lines to himself it will still take time, in my opinion, 3 X 8months(24 months ) to make any significant impact. |
