National grid phrase is the problem.
only learning institutions have authority to generate and keep power without remitting to national grid.
Universities can even supply surrounding neighborhood and get paid.

National grid phase shouldn't be an excuse for incompetency on the part of Federal government not given Nigerians 24hrs electricity after billions has been sunk into it. Power Ministry is just another conduit pipe used in milking the treasury and nothing more.

It will be a wise idea for the university to liaison with high-tech companies to set up shop on campus. Maybe a research center where products can be invented etc. I am also sure the power will be cheap. 24-hour power supply is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

A train station in Japan exceeds the Nigerian national grid already. It's no brainer.

There is something phenomenal about Nigeria, even as cardi B enter Lagos her skin color change immediately.

Before you quote me, try to snap a picture before boarding a plane out of this shithole and snap another picture with same phone and cloths immediately you land anywhere else in this world. Then only u will see you real face

I totally concur. Two months ago I came to Europe, and snapped a picture with the same phone that I had been using in Nigeria, the same day I got to Germany. When this picture landed on my profile many people have been commending me for looking so fresh and all. Honestly, I am still look for an acceptable explanation for this phenomenon. It is either the light over here, or something.

Uniben come and see your mate na to dey owe millions every year for electricity bill dem sabi

Comparing Uniben with great Ife is an insult. University that produces world renowned Surgeon, Nobel laureate, like of Femi Adesina etc.

This is fantastic news. This basically means 24-hour power supply. Or do you prefer darkness?

You must be a serious joker.

How does exiting the national grid affect your masters?

Some people sef.

Was on the campus few months back, saw some installed solar panels, but I don't think that is what the school is hoping to rely on though, cos energy outputs from solar panels that can.power the school should be much more than what I saw.

But what the vc did not state clearly is the means for this independent power generation. Certainly, not hydro.

One criminal muppet convulsing with the impression of "tormenting" me or in any convo with him keeps me laughing uncontrollably.

What did I just read?

This remind me when Audu Ogbe, former Agric Minister said Nigerians will start buying 50kg of Rice
by December 2018 at a price of 9k..."Na lie � "

Covenant University exited 20 years ago. They did not announce the exit.

Maybe because they didn't really exit. They're burning gas for power .. maybe they get the gas at subsidized rate. I expect Unilag to do also explore that route soon too as the school is close to water and can also get gas piped down to them

The project is actually a Federal Government initiative and it is being carried out in about 6 federal Tertiary institutions spread across the geo-political zone.

OAU happens to be the one that would first reach completion of the project.

Bros, Covenant University existence is not even up to 20 years.

It was founded in 2002.

It costs nothing to be happy for good things...Be happy bro!

Meanwhile here in FUTO, our best graduating student is from EEE but all schools (faculties) run on generator. N/B: No power from national grid.
FYI, I'm happy for the guy

Independent power projects, especially at state level would have been the most sensible solution to the power problem in Nigeria. But the greedy mafia at the federal level always want to stagnate things in the country...

Niger Delta can generate its own electricity easily, Lagos can, even most parts of the North can create solar farms and take advantage of the vast desert lands they have, all that, added to what the National grid has would have solved our power issues...

Kudos to OAU. Great uni!!!

You think Federal government dont know what they are doing? If they make it easy for states and other business to have electricity the know NEPA abi na PHCN will be like water board since everyone can now sink bore hole.

Simplyleo:

Please where is the hydro plant located, cos I can't find any dam on the campus.

Opa Dam, the source of water supply to the campus was built in 1981.

It is located off Road 1 about a kilometre from the Gate.

VENTURY is almost certainly the secret. Power generated by wind. UCTH ibadan is already on the matter. I'm a rep. Dm for more....

Shouldn’t we all?

No be the same federal university dem be? Who's talking about comparison.....i'm just saying a federal university is doing so well whereas what uniben is good for is embezzling any money that comes their way.... If you wan dey compare, go and compare OAU with UI

good one, we look forward to this, I just hope that the power it gets from osogbo sub station will now be diverted to ife town instead, the power supply has been pretty poor these few months

Mr VC talk about next year Sir, na we the do the project , it can't workout this year at all.

North also advantage when it comes to wind turbines

It`s a gas-powered turbine.

Nigeria where people believe in what they HEAR. even when it has not become a reality.

This is a good news coming out of OAU eventhough i expected UNIBEN to take the lead. The government funding to education is insufficient yet this school is trying to make lemonade out of lemon. Kudos to UNIBEN, Sorry, i mean OAU.

Frank Sinatra would have loved that cheap benz on my page if he was alive never the less OAU is leading.

My guy u sabi advertise I swear Lol. The only problem is many Nigerians don't even bother to read comments but you are good and your deals are very mouth watering... Only problem na say u sure say that Benz no get wahala? If I refer my guy and d Benz come get wahala u no go like d trouble when the guy go give your wahala oo
