If not that Buhari made him Minister now and he is fumbling for all to see, we might have made the mistake of asking for a Fashola Presidency sometimes in future.

God bless Buhari for helping us realize, that a former Commissioner can hardly be a good Minister. It is quadruple promotion and the brain of the person being promoted may not have the capacity to handle the next class! Nigeria's Economics is actually making a total mess of whatever little knowledge Aunty Kemi Adeosun has. At least we have learnt that in future, we will bring better hands to manage our finances...God bless NOI!

God bless Buhari for using his FG to defend a gross abuse of public trust in the House of Representatives. Jibrin said the budget was padded; Dogara said padding is not an offence (meaning he actually padded the budget); but the FG came out to say the budget was not padded! E seun gan Baba Buhari, God bless you..at least subsequent Presidents will know that they can twist issues at will when they so desire.

Above all, God bless Buhari for his effective use of serious hunger to teach Nigerians a lesson in voting. Now that they are hungry and their thumbs can hardly move, most of them who voted Buhari are now blaming their thumbs for the mistake. Next time they will guard their thumbs well.

E se pupo and God bless Buhari!

In as much as I love Buhari he is a failure. Things are going from bad to worst. People are getting more poorer. Why are you blaming fashola? Buhari made the choice.

Buhari has postponed the hardship as well as drastically reduce its magnitude. He has scored 120% already. At $100pb+ we were borrowing to pay salary but at less than $45pb- , the FG is paying salary with ease. If imported or import dependent commodity are expensive then it is because Nigerians aren't producing and exporting goods and not directly a result of crude price crash. Sai Buhari.

Solar power devt: Investors commit $2.5bn into 14 projects


THE power sector received a boost, yesterday, following the signing of Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs, between Nigerian Electricity Bulk Trading Plc, NBET, and 14 solar energy firms to the tune of $2.5 billion. Hon. Minister of Power, Works & Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola (2nd right), shortly after the signing ceremony of Solar Power purchase agreement between National Bulk Electricity Trader(NBET) and Fourteen Solar Power Developer at the Transmission Company of Nigeria, (TCN), Maitama,FCT, Abuja on Thursday 21, July 2016.


The signing, which was supervised by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, is described as the largest investment in the sector ever. Fashola, in his speech, disclosed that the Federal Government would develop 20 per cent of total energy consumed in Nigeria from renewable sources by 2030.


He said: “It is the determination of the Federal Government of Nigeria to ensure that the country’s power sector is no longer dependent on the vulnerability of one energy source. “It is important to mention that this signing does not mean Nigerians will see steady power supply immediately because this is the first phase and it is going to take some time to see the projects constructed and start rendering services.


The sun is free but the process to get the power from it to the people is not free because it has to involve technology. Solar power is evolving and emerging to get it to the consumers.


“Today is just the beginning of such investments and we will explore more in the future. We want the people to get the best of power supply and we want the companies to give the best of standard solar power plants.” The signing of the PPAs paved way for financial closures and eventual commencement of full commercial operations by the companies involved in the development of the 14 solar projects.

[b]The companies licensed by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, are Pan Africa Solar, which is developing a 75mw solar plant in Katsina State; Nigerian Solar Capital Partners (100mw) in Bauchi State; Afrinergia Power Limited (50mw) in Nasarawa State; and Motir Dusable Limited (100MW) in Nasarawa State. Others are Nova Solar 5 Farm Limited (100mw) in Katsina State; Kvk Power Limited (100mw) in Sokoto State; Middle Band Solar One Limited (100mw) in Kogi State; LR Aaron Power Limited (100mw) in the FCT; and Nova Scotia Power Development Limited (80mw) in Jigawa State.

Also on the list are CT Cosmos (70mw) in Plateau State; En Africa (50mw) in Kaduna State; Oriental Renewable Solutions (50mw) in Jigawa State; Quaint Abiba Power Limited (50mw) in Kaduan State; and Anjeed Innova Group (100mw) also in Kaduna State. In his earlier remarks, Acting Managing Director/CEO, NBET, Waziri Bintube, said gas shortages experienced by gas-fired power plants, due to pipeline vandalism, had made it imperative for the country to seek alternatives to gas. Bintube said the Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs, would achieve the goal the company had been chasing after over three years of commitment and doggedness between it and the 14 solar energy firms. “When these projects, that will commence in the last quarter of 2016, are completed in the next 12 to 18 months, a combined 1000 megawatts of electricity will be generated and added to the national grid for public consumption at the cost of 11.5 cents per kilowatt hour,” he stated. Speaking on behalf of the investors, Managing Director/CEO, Pan African Solar, Marcus Heale, promised that the companies would adhere to the agreement of 11.5 cent (N23.00) tariff per kilowatt hour.[/b]

Your PDP uncles budgeted and stole $ 20 billion power funds and gave us darkness in return, but Fashola gave us 14 new power plants on less than 2 years without stealing our money.


The 4000MW mambilla power plant your PDP uncles neglected and abandoned is back on track, thanls to Fashola


The FG contractors your PDP uncles defrauded and refused to pay are back on the job with thousands of Nigerians working and getting paid, Lagos Ibadan express and other major roads and bridged are back on track, thanks to Fashola.


Btw, oil is selling for $30-40 and we are still paying salaries unfailingly, projects are continuing, but your PDP uncles were borrowing to pay salaries when oil was selling for $80


Okonjo told Nigerians to get reading for suffering and austerity when oil was selling for $80, so should we be popping champagne with oil selling for $30-40?



We know how we get here and we know who saved us from calamity.



All you unpatriotic and anti Nigerian elements can cry, moan and write all the dumbest rubbish, but we are winning..

Yeah-by making us know that APC is another warning from history.O ye Nigerians,do take heed.

Fashola na thief

But, someone asked a vital question yesterday from those of you who are mouth-running about his 120% performance: If Nigeria is broke because of oil selling at $45/barrel, why is Saudi Arabia not in recession?

Why is it that almost all pro-Buhari persons at the moment are so prone to insults once you speak against their Principal? Are you guys still in self-denial?

Simple questions for you Mr Mambilla project, Uncle Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Who stopped construction work on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway before and for what reason did he stop a project that was progressing quite rapidly? Abi na GEJ stop the project before? Buhari has not done anything spectacular by reopening construction work on that road...he it was who stopped the project; he it is restarting it, with same contractors and same project cost...any news? And about your Mambilla claims, please what is our power generation as of now? I thought Mr Fashola knew that Nigeria was going broke before the elections when he was busy shouting 'fixing light is not rocket science'...what is taking him so long to take our generation to 20000MW?

If you insist I have Uncles in the PDP, maybe you should pray to God so that you have influential Uncles too....I even need me some Uncle who has got billions in their account...clean or not clean!

God bless u, a bag of cement still 1600 because we're producing it here,we can't be importing everything and expect the price to be low at this moment,someone said this yesterday and I was shocked he said" I love buhari's Administration am not his fan but I love what he is doing,People asked him how?,he said Look at what Buhari is doing he want to reduce the gap between the poor and the rich,so we told him to explain,he said his father is a rice farmer and over the years the man ignored the farming because of too much importation of rice,now Anambara state Govt.has given his father loan and he has gone back to rice farming, very soon he will be a rich man," what he is try to say is more the rich man continues to import it makes him richer while the poor will be buying it and still getting poorer

As much as i would love to agree to this, i am just so incapable of convincing myself otherwise of a northern agenda to rubbish the so-called knowledge-power of the yorubas. When the appointment was made, were we not skeptical about the possibility of Fashola pulling any string at all? of course we were. But why didn't the yorubas protest and say "ehh jagunlabi, reduce d workload" ?
In my opinion, Fashola is symbolic of a sick yoruba nation thinking she is OK. the present socio-economic situation has only given the 'born to rule' a perfect excuse to put the yorubas in their place; certainly, they knew Fashola was never going to get any support from his kinsmen as many will be bitter with envy. Fasholas' failure in that office will be equal to a big failure for the self acclaimed knowledgeable yorubas. God bless Buhari for exposing how sick the yoruba nation is.
I am so sorry for taking the ethnic path on this but as i said earlier, i cant just convince mysef otherwise.

I already answered that n have many mentions for that correct three-point answer. Read page 1 & 2 on the thread about why Nigerians are suffering very well and get my message clear please. My points were;
1) They saved and invest diversely during their days of excess.
2) They are far less corrupt.
3) Their average cost of producing oil is less than $10pb while ours is $28.99pb. That tell you that they make ~$20 more per barrel and even oil sold for as low as $25pb they can make profit we currently making(USD45PB) while we can't even make a cent of profit on the average. Point 3 is easily verifiable from Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Google it out.
Nigeria on the other hand can't process crude efficiently or refine same.

And while you are here defending Buhari...need I remind you that he has ordered that oil exploration begin in the North-East?

Just when we are supposed to seriously be talking about diversification, our President is looking for oil in the NE...the same oil that has lost value oh...the same one that has landed us in trouble oh...the same resources that we do not have is what they are using to explore for oil oh....

Got any defense for this too? Just admit it, this administration lacks focus, for reasons unknown to us!

Our own foreign reserve was depleted by almost $10bn within the first one year of Buhari, for the purpose of defending the Naira's stability in the global market.

Our difference from Saudi Arabia is not limited to their foreign reserve only, it has many more to do with their economic pragmatism and common sense. Why did we defend the Naira for so long? Now that Baba in his all-knowing stubbornness has decided to float the Naira, how bad did it get? Are things worse than they were when he was busy spending billions of dollars to defend the Naira's position? NO!

As for Fashola, the answer to his problem is not far-fetched...he talked too much during the campaigns. There is no way any human born of a woman can pull off those many things they boasted about, at least not in our own Nigeria! Its coming back to bite them in the ass.

Why Saudi is not in recession - They saved huge sum in foreign reserve over $800 Billion for 30 million people while Nigeria had less than $30 billion saved for 170 million people.

If things remain as they are today, Saudi will burn out its reserves in 5 years, how many years will Nigeria's reserves last if oil price remains low?

While I share your sentiments, let me point out to you that there are positives in the decision to explore oil further. One major problem we av today is vandalism. Why build thousands of miles of pipeline or transmission lines when we can explore oil up north and sell or use a the need arises? The ND needs this move too, because when next the issue of oil derivation fund struggle is raised they will naturally have more states(Lagos, Borno) and regions(NE) on their side.

If I am to answer your question honestly, I will tell you that the Power Sector is presently not having a new direction. We are going about the same way we always have.

Before Obasanjo left office, Nigeria had more than ten power stations, at least according to media reports. Unfortunately, none of these power stations are operating at half their install capacities, till date - not even Kainji. Most pathetic is the Egbin Power Station that Baba OBJ inaugurated with so much pomp and pageantry but is today not generating up to 1/4 its install capacity. In the days of GEJ, Nebo made so much noise about revitalizing the power sector, but what do we have today? The same ruins we always had.

Today however, instead of talking about re-energizing the moribund power stations that have combined capacity to provide our energy needs, our all-knowing Minister is busy pursuing the construction of new power stations. What is the State of Egbin? Ijora? Sapele? and a whole lot of them. Why do we keep deceiving ourselves? How many generators are working in Kainji that we are building Mambilla? How many reserve generators do we have in Shiroro to back up functioning ones that we are talking about new power stations?

I do not make hateful comments. I write about government policies when they appear stupid. The reason why I am particularly critical of this government was because they promised heaven and earth before they came in! Fashola categorically said 'fixing the light situation in Nigeria is not rocket science'. What is taking him so long?

We do not have a direction in the power sector...we are politicizing a National emergency for cheap gains....and we are thereby taking one step forward and two steps backward!
