Successive administration have been working to no avail. It's not as easy as u think
Nigeria has made you believe simple thing is difficult. 24/7 electricity that some private companies have been generating for years in Nigeria. Generating constant light is not the problem, the problem is the mediocrity of our politicians. Let them not decieve you further. Change your thinking.

You can't know because you are still under mummy and daddy.
You are reasoning like Buhari. You must be APC surporter. What is difficult in generation 247 electricity? And your brain didn't tell you that 247 will indirectly empower the economy (the people) to pay for the cost of their consumption. Please reason like someone living outside APC.

True but that's a long term goal. As at today tho, can u pay for 24/7 electricityhuh
The answer is no. It was a deliberate policy of APC to make Nigerians poorer than they met them.

They promised one meal per day.

The major problem of electricity distribution in which 24/7 power supply will be achieved are sole sabotage by marketers of various kinds in IBDC. The meters they fail to make available is where they catch out on the populace. These marketers will go to various houses that do not have meters or the sole call prepaid meters and give those houses one ridiculous amount to pay. Failure to pay the money, they will come for disconnection. If there are enough prepaid meters electricity will be available in abundant.
Then why did you clamor for a strong leader like the one you have now?

If the greedy thieves give you 24/7 electricity, who will buy their diesel and petrol. (We all know they own oil wells)

not just PMB but all our past leaders are useless, infact PMB administration brought up the idea of nuclear energy but we kicked against it cos we are scared it will be mismanaged and cause a disaster but we forget nuclear energy is the neatest and most environmental friendly
Nuclear energy is a no in this hellhole. Just imagine bokoharam cutting the water supply line to the station for an hour what do you think will happen? Boom The end to major states in Nigeria

Lack of leaders with vision / long term thinking.

No patriotism.

Incompetent people in key positions - round pegs in square holes.

And of course, CORRUPTION.

if there is power, industries will grow.
if industries grow, more industries will spring up.
if more industries spring up, there will be job.
if there is job, there will be money.
if there is money, we can pay for power
