Three Gbosa for you OP! you are well conformed.......The minister should look more into transmission and distribution, we have cases of stranded power already.

Alphacom:

I think Generation is the main thing. How will you transmit and distribute what u don"t have.

Wrong my dear. The power issue is like a hydra headed monster that must be tackled all at once otherwise the other heads will attack.

The past three administration focused on building power plants cos that's the fastest and best way to chop money. What happened? We lost $16b and not a single MW was added to the national grid.

Mind You, Our transmission infrastructure was at best obsolete and at worst decayed o.

Moving forward.

Yar'Adua was an honest man.. So the next administration was the opportunity to chop. What did they focus on? Distribution. Sold the Discos to cronies with zero technical expertise for peanuts who have unsurprisingly hashed the entire privatisation process.

Transmission still remains moribund.

So the Discos have an excuse.

No way to evacuate power.

The new gencos meanwhile were so insidious they built with political motives. In places with ZERO access to gas. How the FUCĶING hell you gonna power your genco when gas is in Rivers state but you built in Ondo?!?!

So gencos too have an excuse.

Transmission nko? Lol. What am I transmitting? Irregular 3,000MW with lines that were built in 1950 and never maintained?

Forget, we need to recolonise Nigeria. Outsource our leadership to China. I swearigad.

I'm so upset! Lmao

Wow! Good news. The question is, will these plants ever have to be fully functional? If yes, will the power be evenly distributed across the nation? What about maintenance culture? I call these gimmicks until 70% Nigerians are attesting to the fact of good power supply (take note, not constant power supply)

Alphacom:

Have you heard that some DISCOs are rejecting power allotted to them?

Is it the fault of the government that whenever rain falls, the citizens become horn.y and start shouting "weather for two" and begin to go about fvcking like rabbits and over populating the place?

Alphacom:

EVarn is right also, because the little we are generating is going into High Wastage because of distribution /Transmission

A nation is built by all citizens, not just politicians. Many Nigerians are too destructive in their comments and actions. This government has been hampered by scarcity of funds and mismanagement of the past. We don't expect them to solve the power problem in 4 years. We all know Fashola is an action man and he is doing a lot underground.
There are many power projects going on, including wind, solar, coal and gas powered stations.
The government's approach now is multi-faceted and bound to succeed, as it's the right approach
Many power stations are not operating to full capacity because of scarcity of gas, as some Nigerians are sabotaging all the efforts of the government.
No government is perfect, we have to agree that this government is trying, within the constraints they have

prof1990:
Speaking from my personal view. The light in my area is really improved now

Fashola is really trying

The above is what we, in my area call the "rainy season light" after rains, re evaluate what you get on the average of a week !

Na promo?

It's only when we are operating and maintaining the previous power plant at full capacity ,that is when we should build a new one .


After the completion of these plant ,several unit will be down and we are back to square one .

They should just try and make it real, Nigeria needs stable power supply, I need stable power supply..... If not for anything, at least to play First Touch Soccer 2018
and PES 2018 ISO on PPSSPP ...... Lols


We truly deserve 24/7 electricity in this country, it's our right!.

presidency:
These are three of the new power plants/capacity that will become operational in Nigeria in 2017 and 2018

Good effort by the government. Hope it comes on soon.. They should do more though.

ChiefSweetus:
280MW addition to the grid in THREE YEARS.

LMAO!

Fashola is a smello who couldn't fix Ago Palace Way in 8yrs. 280MW in 4yrs is what a province in Beinjin or Tianjin will achieve in 6-months I put that on my ex's life!!

Bloody jokers. I bet they don't even have a viable pipeline or GSPA in place. The Discos are moribund. Ikeja Disco hasn't given anyone power in EIGHT FUCĶING DAYS! And Fashola is forming technocrat in Abuja after leaving a 4km stretch of road for 8yrs because it's not Alimosho or because they are predominantly 5-percenters. But if na to follow nack Matharoo sisters.......

Negative evil pessimists dont get far in life

989900:
Fashola would deliver on power if supported.

There are more than these:

“The Afam 5 plant is currently being rehabilitated in collaboration with General Electric to restore 240 megawatts to the facility.

“All the turbine and equipment needed for the project are already in the country while the only challenge we are facing is the access road, logistic and few other things that we came to assess.

“We think that we will add 240 megawatts and another 100 megawatts before December with addition of 276 megawatts in 2018 from Afam power plant alone,” he said.

all this was the state He met them . What has he brought to the table
Answer NOTHING .
I had great respect for thiis guy but E fall our hand big time.E for nor take this position .

No, generation first, we are generating energy that is far below our demand.

I would not call that negative rather an enquiring mind.

Same old story

Exactly!

APC will now want to take glory. These projects were started by Yaradua/GEJ. Let me hear what they have to say.

....and somebody begged them not to complete it?

EVarn:

Our main problem is ENOUGH Power GENERATION, you can not transmit and distribute what you don't have.

Look at South Africa with over 40,000 MWatts while Nigeria is still struggling to generate 5,000 MWatts

There are 2much politics involved . We know where we ja e gas why not build the place ts arround that area to secure source .

Transmission will be fully privatised. That is the problem we failed to solve in the past

You are correct . Govt should invest heavily in Generation .

Are you sure ? Only Lagos PH and Kanu @ full capacity will consume our current Energy Output .

lionness:
In as much as some babies of bitterness pray the Buhari government failed, and how much they passionately wish BRF should fail, the power situtation is getting better and better, although i wish Fash could solely focus on roads, and housing alone, and leave power to someone more qualified and determined. Did you all notice that the only Minister in this government that is working is ONLY fashola? The rest are as dead as the pressy.

Abeg which work. is it the one that he has found to be rocket science.

Why do you expect him to bring something new to the table when he met myriads of abandoned projects that overfilled the table. Well I won't tell you to recall your sense from the current holiday

Ordinary 320mw.
The same 320mw that will be fed to national grid and then distribution companies will reject. That one?

Abeg jare.
