Power

3 Power Sector

The Goodluck Jonathan administration has improved the power generation from around 2000 megawatts to 4502 megawatts in December 2012 the highest since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999.

By July this year, power generation will hit 6,000 megawatts and by December this year it will hit 10,000 megawatts (assurance given last week by Minister of State for Power). All ten Power Plants under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP) scheme to be commissioned by the end of this year. At the moment, majority of them have reached 95 percent completion stage.
Improved power supply has been boosted in part by the emergency declared in the Gas sector last year by President Jonathan. At the time gas supply was insufficient. But now, thanks to the intervention by Mr. President, Nigeria now produces more gas than is required for domestic consumption.


For more efficient power supply, the Jonathan administration has privatized the power distribution companies (DISCOs) under a most transparent bid process.
Today, large parts of an unprecedented number of cities and towns across the country are enjoying between 14 to 16 hours of uninterrupted power supply, except in some few areas where localized problems of power distribution network have created bottlenecks for smooth transmission.

nduchucks:
I don't see the wisdom of itemizing, what should otherwise be, the regular job of the President, as major achievements. Major achievements should be acts which go beyond the call of duty and which are performed with great distinction.

Sir, to date, this President is worse than a mediocre President. I'm afraid he is too dumb to rule Nigeria successfully - I hope I am wrong.

Well we have seen other people during their tenure that just come and dont do anything but just tell us a bunch of lies but we all can see the achievement of GEJ and it is visible for all to see

i am not surprised because what President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has done for them will change their lives forever, they can now be useful to the society instead of been a societal menace, God bless GEJ. March 4ward with GEJ

this is the kind of man we need to be our president

that will be very smart of her, im happy she is such a reasonable person

Buhari is an epic failure, he is going for medical check up after slumming at the APC campaign rally in port harcourt, he is not even the president yet and he is already fainting about, does he think presidency is child's play? APC members are just a bunch of loosers, it will even be better for them if they can bring a much younger and capable candidate becase Buhari has already lost

i think that is one of the worst government we have had so far since we gained our independence, its was enough for Buhari to loothe public funds but he also went as far as flogging people on the street in the name of sanitation and for orderliness and misconduct and a whole lot of nonsense, infringing on the right of innocent Nigerians, Buhari publicly killed Nigerian citizens openly at the beach for everybody to see, that is an animalistic behaviour to me, we surely dont want someone like that into government

only an enemy of progress will not support Jega's idea of the PVCs, its one of the most recent innovation and it is been used in well developed countries especially the democratic communities

i concor but i hope the PVCs will be able to go round
