OBAFEMIawolowo:
What happened to alternative power generation?

Let's even forget about solar because of it's cost intensiveness, how about hydro source? Is this also dependent on gas pipeline?

Fashola should get to work, he's becoming so useless by the day.

How many megawatts was added to the national grid by hydro source in 16 years of PDP. You think hydro electric is something you just wake up one morning and set up like you set up a kitchen.

pharmagba:
Ipod ops,
We all know that under Fashola the highest power generation has been achieved. And we know at that time the avenger and other militia has not started blowing pipeline.
In view of this and the fact that in any assignment you start with what is on ground before building in the air ie we already have gas and gas turbines which is a veritable place he has started.
I rather advise you plead with the avengeers

OBAFEMIawolowo:
that's why he's the minister of power, if he cannot set it up, he should resign and stop giving flimsy excuses.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
and yet I can't boast of 2hours daily power supply.

PentiumPro:
Your ignorance is high up there. You think setting up such is such that you pick the parts off the shelves ?
Stop exhibiting so much crass ignorance, you give the impression that you guys are either badly educated or you are just uneccesssrily being mischevious

PentiumPro:
You probably don't have a meter.
Keeping clapping for the avengers to keep bombing gas pipelines and expect Fashola to use his piss to supply you electricity

OBAFEMIawolowo:
stop being foolish at defending failure, you are the person sounding uneducated by trying to defend a succesful failure of a government.

If you are educated like you claim then look beyond Igbo/Yoruba and APC/PDP to face reality, sometimes most of you behave like programmed robots.

PentiumPro:
You are one sounding pathetically foolish here! Show me a country that build an hydro dam from the scratch to completion in a year
Tell me what he could have spend the one year in office doing that he is not doing.
Your tribal bigotry has made you so stupid that common logic is alien to you.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
stop trying hard to be miserable, we already have dams and your minister of power is yet to award any contract for new dams.

He is just there doing nothing

PentiumPro:
How some of you with your crass ignorance and foolish bigotry is quite befuddling.
Only on NL do one get to read this level of foolish minds

stopping trying to redeem yourself, go to bed

The minister who also spoke at another event – The Podium – which was organised by the Kukah Centre, reiterated that unless new energy sources are brought to the grid, militants and other criminal elements will continue to hold the country to ransom with frequent pipeline breaks.
He had at the launch of the BEEG which was put together by the Nigeria Energy Support Programme (NESP) stated that the country’s electricity sector was left at the mercy of pipeline vandals but would have to find a way to overcome the menace.
“Repeated acts of vandalism has rendered us vulnerable and we have to proactively move to overcome that one single source of supply,” said Fashola.[/b]
He added: “This is a journey of diversification and energy security, and it will make it impossible for anyone to hold the country to ransom on energy supply.”
The minister subsequently said when he spoke at the public dialogue organised by the Kukah Centre that the country would in line with plans to ensure energy security, concession about eight small hydro power plants to private operators to build and operate.
[b]He also stated that works on other bigger hydro plants like the Zungeru, Kashimbila and Mambilla would be accelerated, adding that work on Zungeru has resumed after unplanned interruption.



“I have always asked myself, why should I damage an asset that serves me because I am angry? It is a matter of public ownership and collective trust that anyone who tampers with it tampers with all of us and so no matter how angry you are, you must find another way to ventilate your anger, otherwise, it just doesn’t make sense to me,” he said in reference to the breaks by militants.

“With the capacity from Kainji/Jebba and Shiroro hydros, we could get up to 4,000mw from hydro Generation companies (Gencos) alone and we would not have been in darkness now,” he said.
He disclosed that the ideal capacity of the Mambilla hydropower is 2,600mw and not 3,050mw as represented by the past administration. Being privy to the original project documents of May 2007, the expert said that the initial consultant of the project, Lahmeyer Nigeria, estimated that it was meant to generate 2,600mw.

He said that a former vice president of Nigeria got a new French consultant who expanded the project’s scope to 3,050mw and revalued the cost to $3.2bn (about N636.9bn) in 2011.
The power sector expert attributed the delay in starting the project since 2011 to the inclusion of Sinohydro Corporation, a Chinese firm that was not part of the original bid winners-CGC/CGGC in 2005.

“The Obasanjo government signed the contract with the Chinese firm in 2007 and if it was followed by now, we would have had 2,600mw additional hydropower to the grid. But the people who stopped it are in this country and they stopped it for selfish reasons. They wanted to put their candidates there even when they did not work on the project tender.”
