Hmmm....I refuse to believe he said this publicly.... it must be this is leaked from a private conversation...... or is Ghana and Senegal and the others LGAs in Abuja? These guys can really disrespect the intelligence of Nigerians.... can't wait for the day the first one get stoned... the rest will begin to think twice before they talk.

nicepoker101:
If that is not done
Other countries along the river Niger. Might dam the river and this will worsen the situation in Nigeria.

What are you trying to justify now?
Hydroelectricity is not the only source of power, There is coal, natural gas, nuclear and others.
The government is just fvcking dumb.

Wait, why is this making me to laugh? Laughable, maybe.

"Wisdom is profitable...." May God give our leaders wisdom in Jesus name. Amen!

Fellow Nigerians, eku Nigeria o.

Useless country

Please take this news to the joke section

Osobi32:
When I said that our politicians dey use us play ludo people don't seem to understand. Is this not wickedness Selling what ur citizens don't have or enjoy? I don't blame them at all, we the masses are not ready for a better life. Until we put our differences, tribe and religion aside things will remain this way. I rest my case

Bro Na talk u talk ooooo

But our leaders are rich in that case it won't affect them or their home
But the young lads ,poor,hustler
Wetin does local welder ,private company or enterprises go dey think. Light wey never reach citizens of the country Na share dem they do..
Niaja dey show carry me..over others ..
All Na to steal money after all you go hear Na one something trillions or zillions dem go use..

Stupid ppl .....

While that may be the case, it still doesn't answer the question of how much electricity Nigeria can share with these other countries, given the fact that Nigeria doesn't generate enough for itself.

I worked at kanji during my IT let me explain . Our dam is on river niger, to stop other countries along same river building their dam on same river we have to sell them light . Ivory coast benin ghana etc we sell to pay in dollars and quickly unlike in 9ja where there is billing and payment issues.

nikz:

Very funny and stupid

Remember we are the giant of africa
Yes we must show the world we are truly the giant, we have reach advance stage to light up the whole sahara desert

nigerians cant pay or afford light hence the low production. Discos reject light from gencos as they can't recover the money from consumers most times. If i see food to my villagers and they owe me most times. And there is a nearby village i sell to that pays in dollars. Who would i target

The Federal Government, Wednesday, disclosed that it was building power transmission line to link up some countries in the West African sub-region. Speaking in Abuja at the 2019 participants/key stakeholders interactive forum organised by the Market Operator, the Managing Director of Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, Mr. Mohammed Gur Usman, stated that the project will take a 330KV electricity transmission line right from Nigeria up to Senegal. He said, "In the whole of West Africa we are the only one that has the experience of 330KV but now 330 KV will run from Nigeria unto Senegal. "Let me be precise, we are going to have a 330KV that will run from Shiroro to, to Parakou, Parakou to Northern Togo, Northern Ghana to Cote devior
"Another one will come from Northern Ghana to Senegal to Guinea-Bissau, to Mali to Burkina Faso and it will join Ghana. This is the study that we have launched." To this ends, Usman charged the major stakeholders in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry, NESI, especially, the Market Operator, MO, to be ready to assume the task of regional player in the sector. He said, "As the Chairman of West Africa Pool, WAP, I made the WAP to draft, the directives which was approved on the 22nd of May and 22nd of December, 2018. "That is the written of ECOWAS Head of State and Government of 22nf of December 2018. They approved that three directives and what are those directives that we forwarded to ECOWAS for approval are:
"First, All utilities in West Africa must have their revenue requirement. The second directive is that countries that elect not to give the requirement, they should budget for it in a transparent manner. "This means that if the utilities do not have their course reflective tariff then the countries should budget for it in a transparent manner that is they should provide for it in their national budget. "We did not stop there, we said that all utilities in west Africa should conduct themselves in such a way that they should do their procurement in a transparent manner- meaning they should adapt competitive procurement of their services and their goods because if we have the budget and we have the money and we apply it in an inefficient manner, it means that cost of energy will soon go up.
"In reality, if it is truly a market is driven by rules and regulation and people have to comply with the rules and there has to be sanction for performance and there has to be a reward of non-performance and a reward for extraordinary performance. "If a market is existing in such a way that everybody does not performance and can get away with it, there is no way that that market can grow or perform." According to him, "TCN may probably cease to exist very soon and then you will have TSP and ISO, ISO will be the one that will be operating the market operator under ISO and everything that I have to do for that transition to take place, I have been doing it daily. Every day I have been doing those things that would lead to those organizations to separate. "Because we have not applied the market position in our market tenders, in solar, you cannot say that Nigeria has comparative advantage but, in terms of normal generation that would be done by gas and hydro. "Nigeria still has comparative advantage across West Africa. Which means there is a demand for electricity from here to the rest of West Africa? What we are doing is to enable that happen. To enable that happen, we are going to build a transition line across West Africa so that we can export energy from here to the rest of Africa. "I am happy to tell you that the design consultancy Andes the environmental study for the medium backbone were launched.

if benin and mali build dams on their own side of the river . Kaniji dam and jebba will cast. So we have to sell to them

But Senegal/Ghana are the ones they plan to sell to, not Benin and Mali.

You will be surprise that they have it but just being wicked

I was to run a printing job in PH and in the course of my discussion with the receptionist she told me that they will use PHEDC power because whenever they have plenty job they will call the PHEDC office and they will supply them light but that they will pay for it specially, whereas the area is always without power.

Waakanda:
When your own citizens are still suffering from epileptic power supply ... Is that not stupidity?

My sister, our problem is not them the TCN, but the distributors.
The GenCO generate power even in excess, while the TCN can only transmit to the distributors the quantity they want at any given time. The distributors will than give us what they feel like giving to us.
Do u now understand it light problem we have.
Distributors buy small and use estimated billing to finish us in other to make more money for themselves, for like what BEDC does here.

pxjosh:

because there are existing powerlines they can tap from in mali ghana togo etc. From nigeria. They will also pay in usd in 45 days. If the operator of those dams (mainstream nigeria) wants to sell to discos thru tcn .they reject it sometimes . As a disco. I get 4m usd worth of light at month end i can only recover 3m dollars worth. Would i buy more As for the genco(mainstream) other buyers dey. So they should not sell

Busy body people. In the north, I learned KEDCO is owing TCN unremitted amount running into billions of naira, therefore, no power supply for days now. When are we going to get it right?

What a very funny country.

but these countries get light pass us nah!

Thunder fire una..... wey we never see light for this country una dey plan giv wetin una no get .....

Waakanda:

It is not stupid. You see, electricity is a commodity which cannot be stored, it has to be consumed/transmitted after it is generated.

Now, when you don't have a viable distribution network to take the electricity to people's homes due to vandalism, theft, and outright incompetence of distribution companies, the electricity has to be routed elsewhere or it will go to waste via grounding or other means.

We are better off transmitting excess to those countries and get paid for it.

By the time Odetola's entry into the power sector is actualized, we may see a slight turnaround.

In the meantime, thunder fire generator importers who continue to sabotage progress along with their Chinese co-conspirators.

....and very soon, extend to Spain, Italy and possibly to Great Britain.

Falsehood has taken over political leadership of Nigeria

Oh doctor, heal thyself first

Buhari is connecting Fulani areas from Nigeria up to Senegal.

Sorry Nigerians. Who inflicted this wrath on you?

Those are the bunches ruling us. Even the bow and go senate won't challenge it.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!!!

Wonders shall never end.. Have we met our own electricity needs as a nation, before talking of exporting to others?

Forget about your links. A person living in Ghana is telling you the current reality and you are posting some meaningless links?

Ghana currently produces more than 5,000MW, double what the country needs, which is about 2,500MW. So what I suspect is that Nigeria May be looking to buy Ghana’s excess electricity.

frankmoney:
are u sure ? Because what i think they generate about 3500 MW , and 2500 is available for supply so are you sure of your figure ?
