Seek Gini. Una no go bring out those looted funds use give 24/7 light abi, @least to appease the youth. Ok. Una never serious

blackpanda:


This is how average youth brain works. Once they see figures it's how to share the money and chop that comes to mind. But u de dia de protest, smh

I meant if 200, 000,000 donate 5k each that will be equivalent to 2.5 billion dollars. The govt make it seems nothing good can be done to fix the problems.

Are u not tired of how the evil govt is running the country?

What if every Nigerian forget about these greedy evil persons and provide everything they need including security will that not be better option.

PhiliptheArab:
The only way you can get more private investment on power is simple

Allow the discos and gencos control the prices of power.

Yes,we will pay 70naira per kWh,but the big rule of investment is putting in more money to make more money

And no one is going to invest in a sector where the sales price is less than the production price

It costs 53 naira to produce one kWh in Nigeria and we sell it at 28 naira per kWh. At the end of the day, no investor is going to invest in a loss making venture

Unless government wants dash

Why do you think you pay tax? One reason pls

Insofar as the gap channels into the stomachs and pockets of these prostitute politicians, if you like raise $25trillion, the gap will never be closed.

Ogbeni, go to hell.

Cut the salary of our so called politicians.

I'm sure this would help you raise the so called fund.

ayenale1:
They want to fund north again

Are your representatives deaf and dumb?
Can't they talk if actually your claim is real?Or probably they would also collect their share,right?
Mtsww,some people will just be saying rubbish on faceless media

Give up on this country working except we restructure

Produce your own electricity with solar panels

ShobayoEmma:
Sorosoke jor.
Buhari, a good man with bad intentions. #endpolicebrutality#
Restructure now.

Buhari, a lying BAD man with WORST intentions

Didn't mention paying tax.

The problem with power in Nigeria is simple. We produce power at 53 naira per kWh , and sell at 28 naira per kWh.

No profit is made. Government pays a subsidy which covers the difference between cost of production and sales price.

As a result no profit, thus no investment. Who wants to invest in something that loses money at the end of the day.

Mathscum:
They known the next protest is electricity. They better fix it up. Before it turns to another protest.

That one will be the biggest of all

With tax payers money. This is simple economics.

Yes, but at the end of the day, profits aren't made

Here is how the subsidy in power works roughly. I buy coke at N150 a bottle and plan to sell at 200 a bottle making a profit of 50 naora

Government steps in, tells me to sell at N90 a.bottle, pays me a.subsidy of 40 naira, so at the end of the day I lose 20naira per bottle sold

How do I expand my business, pay the supplier,pay for generator fuel, pay transport costs

Government pays a subsidy in power. And not all of it comes from taxes, part of it comes from loans and grants.

And even then discos and gencos still lose 1 trillion annually because the subsidy does not cover their business cost and allow them to make a profit

So which investor would come in and invest? Unless he wants to come and do Baba Christmas and dash us the money?

It is because we want free power that we tolerate this. If government ran our businesses the way it runs the power sector, most of us would be broke.

Like me and my hypothetical coca cola beverages business

Homeboiy:
Something that Atiku would have given family and friends

And has Buhari improve the system?
Are the populace enjoying at least 18hrs power supply except for few?

tunapawizzy:
same old story...seeking funds to build electricity, but we dont have to seek funds to pay lawmaker's bloated salaries and allowances.....see ehn...the revolution coming you people's way, you will not know what came over you, EndSARS na small....una go hear am.bunch of armed robbers.....no difference between SARS and Legislators.

Baba, you be genius, I swear. Baba, you too smart!

K.

but did we ever ask the govt to subsidize power? Education? We've been so accustomed to paying less than the actual cost of electricity and education. Remove subsidy. Yes, we have a lightbill of 10+k,but we'll survive. In my secondary school,science dept, no practical nor equipments. As a science student,I've never used a microscope before. Were seriously lagging behind.

Exactly

But Nigerians love cheap things, and it is politically expensive to do what you suggest

Even if it benefits our economy long-term

cut ur salary and allowance naa..stupid people...make bubu just resign with an apology latter..we can't stay like did till 2023

PLEASE JUST HALT ALL THIS YOU BORROWING WE ARE TIRED IT WONT GET ANYTHING FIXED ALL YOU DO IS LOOT THE WHOLE FUNDS THE NEXT GOVT COMES IN AND DOES THE SAME LET US ALL BE USING GENERATOR NO MORE BORROWING TILL OUR YOUTHS TAKE OVER

Ni-ge-ria...

Make ask OBJ for the $16B

If only Power was on the concurrent list, states will be able to address these issues / put the right policies in place to attract investment to those areas without power. This FG agency won't need to exist...decentralisation is the way to go here.

Useless government
Useless old folks
Power to the youth...

Firstly wankanda moniker is this

Nna men!

Is it ignorance or what? Young people can't read a report and understand it.

From what I read up there...

*A seminar was organized by Rural Electrification Authority ( REA) in the House of Representatives

*The Speaker was represented. The Minister was represented.

*The head of REA said that there are 80 million Nigerians without electricity. 80 million not in the national grid nor have any form of energy (wind,hydro, solar etc)

* The seminar was of the view that the only way to bridge this gap is if the private sector comes in n invest in bringing electricity to these 80 million Nigerians.

I smoke weed but my head dey clear for comprehension in those days for Ajangbadi High School, Afromedia

#ENDSARS

...We move

ZIINI:

Firstly wankanda moniker is this
