Fashola says militant attacks on gas pipelines are the reasons for drop in power supply in the country. The minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Fashola has ascribed the recent drop in power supply in the country to the recent attacks on gas pipelines in the Niger Delta region by militants.

Fashola speaking on issues affecting the sector at an inaugural town hall forum on Thursday, June 16 said the government had concluded plans on sustainable power development and supply strategy to tackle the power crisis. According to the Tribune, he pointed out that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari could not continue to depend only on gas to provide power to Nigerians. He said: “ Thinking is what the Kukah Centre brings, and thinking through about the apparent solution brings out a better solution. “The optimum power we have produced in 66 years is 5,074 megawatts and that happened on February 2, 2016. It is clear that 5,000 megawatts of power is not enough for the country and that is why our first step is getting more power and that is the method of incremental power as the first phase. “Second phase is steady power and it means everybody gets enough power, and whether we get enough power or not, we need data and census, which is necessary in order to know what power each household needs. .

Mr Fashola keeps falling hands of the zombies!

When GEJ was accusing vandals (sponsored by APC) of destruction during his reign, Mr Fashola accused him of ineptitude and incompetence.

He claimed it doesn't take a degree in Rocket Science to fix our energy sector..

Now, we are to just fold our hands and accept his explanations of total power failure attributed to saboteur (the one he claimed shouldn't be a hindrance or excuse to the former administration by the way), shebi?

Bros, it is easier to criticize than actually performing when given the position

We knew the problems on ground before your party 'volunteered' to fix it, so FIX IT YOU MUST

Anyway, I wish the Minister of Darkness plenty of GOODLUCK

Can we ever boast of a week of constant power supply in this country?

I thought fashola is good when it comes to governance, wetin come happen..abi village people don dey follow u

Nigeria better pay some respect to the Niger Delta.

If the Niger Delta coughs, it affects all Nigerians. No other region in Nigeria can hold Nigeria to Ransome like the Niger Delta. A little drop in SS oil revenue plummets our economy. A sabotage of gas pipelines in the SS causes lack of electricity. Yet Buhari had the temerity to say he won't develop our region because we only gave him 5% votes.

Its simple! Go and use the revenue from the region that gave you 95% to develop Nigeria.

Fashole forgot to say this o.

And later this year after reaching to the optimum of 5000 mw in 66 years this year we experienced the minimum zero (0)mw in 66 years this year also and vice versa

volunteers no be small....lol.

thank God GEJ handed over peacefully

Why can't they simply appoint this man as the minster for justice. He got no business at the power sector

THE BIBLE SAYS YOU WILL BEJUSDGED BY THE SAME STANDARD YOU JUDGED OTHERS.
FASHOLA TALKED TOO MUCH DURING THEIR CAMPAIGN.
HW KNOWS BETTER NOW THAT TALK IS THE CHEAPEST COMMODITY IN ANY MARKET.
THE SAME WAY HE WAS BAD MOUTING THE LAST ADMINISTRATION HAS COME TO HIM.
WAS IT THAT THEY DID NOT DESIRE THE GIVE US POWER? NO. THE SAME CHALLENGES NOW ARE WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEN BUT APC TOOK IT OVERBOARD.

"A RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SYABLE ELECTRICITY IN 6 MONTHS" THEY SAID. 6 MONTHS IS STRETCHING TO 18 MONTHS AND COUNTING.
