FarahAideed:Since the government privatised the power sector under Jonathan's government, the role of the government is now more of a regulatory one. GE amongst other well known power company have committed billions of dollars to improve the power sector. A lot of state government in the South/South are also working on developing power plant in the last four years as well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AmazingELixir: There was no greed except media manipulation as usual. Before becoming Minister of Power his Geometric Energy was already in place with clear cut plans abd agreement but because he refused to yield to political settlement they set him up with lies. Nigeria still needs Barth Nnaji till tomorrow if we want sincere progress in power sector. 2 Likes 1 Share |

AmazingELixir: Mekenz:Nigeria's power problem isn't technical, it is purely administrative; I wonder why a lot of people still hold this extremely simplistic analogy that "power isn't working cos an engineer isn't minister" From the technical point of view, power generation and distribution is as easy as ABC, it's one of the simplest problems mankind has solved and forgotten for over 100 years. That Nigeria doesn't have power today isn't because we lack the technical know-how, rather it is an administrative and leadership problem. If you place the greatest professor of engineering the world has ever known as Nigeria's power minister, if he lacks the political will, administrative prowess, discipline, tenacity, street smartness, 'Nigerian wuruwuru smartness' and leadership abilities to bulldoze the cabals that have kept us in darkness, he will not be able to achieve anything. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

FarahAideed:Since 1999 till date, Nigeria's power generation has always fluctuated between 2000 - 4000mw; it was the same under OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ and PMB, no single improvement. So I wonder how people keep deluding themselves due to political sentiments saying it was better under president A or B. Live data is available from the NERC website. 3 Likes 1 Share |

obailala:I understand the points you're trying to pass across, but still you're still far from the reality on ground, let me share one story with you. not long ago, I was called upon to checkmate a building that has cracks at all corners of it,waiting to collapse to issue my expertise knowledge on how best to salvage it,to avert total collapse. these said building was own by a barrister in us,he was around and overseas the building,always claiming ITK, giving orders on best materials to be used,just months down the line the building started developing those faults, I earlier mention. he was so helpless and has no option than to seek for professional service,also imaging yourself an engineer, and you gave a contractor a project, you will always detect whenever he or she is trying to cut corners,because it is your field. choosing and delegating people to their areas of interest,knowledge and expertise can never be over emphasize, even if the person doesn't do much because of the Nigeria factors issues that you raised, but he will perform far more than a novice in that particular field. |

FarahAideed: I don't know about surpassing any other minister, but you also know that power generation is not only about on-grid power alone. There are a lot of off-grid power solutions that are being put in place through the Rural Electrification agency. Off-grid power is being provided for federal universities, teaching hospitals, markets etc. The power sector has been unbundled giving room for alternative power generating options. Independent Power Projects are ongoing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwqhof_canE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYUEyKBsTaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIoMc-iA8Xg |

obailala: My brother you are completely wrong when you stated that generation and distribution is as easy as ABC , ofcourse all those who made similar statements all met with calamitous failures starting with Bola Ige of blessed memory and of recent Raji Fasola, their utterances came about because of their limited understanding of the intricacies and peculiarities of the power sector especially in Nigeria. To even say the problems of Nigerian power sector isn't technical is quite debilitating to say the least, Financing and policy formulation the other components of the sector come about with sound technical inputs not from personnel managers but discipline technical resource persons. Fashola is a brilliant and astute resource manager atleast his exploits while at the helm of affairs in Lagos says somuch, why then did he fail, forget all those crap about increase in the generation capacity in the country, I tell you this in good authority never in the history of power transmission in this country have we had the number of total grid failure in a calendar year as under Fashola's time. |

Mekenz:You still miss the point; finding a solution to a cracking problem is a purely technical problem which needs a foreman with technical skill/knowledge. But imagine the actual problems stopping the repair of the building are inability to obtain funds from the building owner, a persisting legal dispute between land owner and host community, activity of area boys and cultists in the neighbourhood harassing the builders, etc. With these kind of problems, if you hire the best civil engineer in the world (but who has no street skills, administrative abilities, legal doggedness etc) to oversee that project, how exactly do you think that crack can be fixed. Like I said before, the problems plaguing the progress in Nigeria's power sector are far from technical issues that just need a technically competent person to fix. If you have a glimpse of the political, legal, commercial, financial and even spiritual issues (like Prof. Nebo admitted in frustration) which plague the power sector in Nigeria, you will acknowledge my earlier statement that Nigeria's power problems are absolutely not technical. cc: AmazingELixir |

FarahAideed: Have I lied? I'm not saying Fashola has done an excellent job. However, I will also be uncharitable to imply that he did nothing. Truth is the problems with our power value chain is multi-dimensional, from generation to transmission to distribution. Not everything is tied to the FG. 1 Like |

AmazingELixir: Those guys you mentioned (i.e. Bola Ige, Prof Nebo, Liyel Imoke, Fashola etc.) all made the same erroneous assumption you are making now thinking that the power problem in Nigeria persists due to just a lack of managers with technical knowledge. Those guys were all correct when they said power generation and distribution isn't rocket science. But where they all failed is in their lack of appreciation of the fact that you need something totally different from just technical skill / knowledge to light up Nigeria. Prof Nnaji understood the market to a good extent because he was a major player; but the same forces which kicked him out are the same forces which made all the other power ministers to fail; that force isn't technical illiteracy, rather it is political, commercial, legal and administrative. |

AmazingELixir: Minister of power does not have to be an engineer, he has plenty of those within the ministry, associated agencies, and consultancies. Ministries need visionary leaders, just as the US Department of Defense is always headed by civilians who most often have no military background. Leadership trumps academics. |
