The reason why power has not improved is these Devil @ TCN, the are the RED tapes remaining in the power industry.Who do you think is responsible for all the power i infrastructures between the GENCOs and the DICOs? answer the TCN, Transmission company of Nigeria. They are another band of civil servants in the power sector, just like the NNPC.

Oshin56:
I believed you partially and I don't still believe you, did you think those staff looking for there daily bread are the causes of it, if you are talking about the Senior managers ( SM) I can believe you and they will still retain them when the privatization take place.

Does Nigeria need the TCN? Does it make sense to generate electricity in Lagos (Egbin) and transmit it to the North or vice versa from Kanji Dam to Lagos? Egbin should serve the SW and Kainji Dam in the Middle Belt, then the transmission cost would be reduced, and the focus would be on electricity generation and distribution.

BTW NNPCL should be scraped immediatelly

HighQue007:
The problem of all of you is that you are not being realistic or probably ignorance. Do you think our electricity can be fixed with a snap of a finger.. smh

Electricity is not rocket science, especially if you have available sources such as Gas, Wind, Solar and Hydro.

GRID electricity has five pillars: governance, source(Hydro, Solar, Wind, Thermal) generation, transmission, distribution and consumption. Transmission seems to be the major problem due to the lack of infrastructure and poor management by TCN. Replace TCN with regional distribution. The North should depend on their local energy sources such as Wind, Hydro and Solar.

Let states and regions take ownership of their electricity requirements. The existing electricity plants should be allocated to the regions where they are allocated; the SE already has 2000 MW. The federal government should focus on building more Hydro Dams in Northern Nigeria instead of wasting valuable resources on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road.

There are reasons why the Southern states overcame their education problems in the 1960s by using universal primary education and local solutions for local issues.

ebufa:
Black Africans especially Nigerians are so daft,it beggars belief......Chai, see as white man they mess us up on both ends of the supply chain.........we sell cheap and bunkered crude oil to them...........while they sell us expensive but dirty fuel to us.............the devil and demons that brought fulani to power in Nigeria no go die better!

Fulanis are not in power today.

Tinubu is the Minister of Petroleum. He should have fired Huub Stokman and Mele Kyari immediately and get the local refinery working instead he is busy building a useless road

Huub Stokman should be fired.

Huub Stokman, the managing director of NNPC Retail Limited and chairman of the Major Energy Marketers Association of Nigeria said.

Where is the House of Rep in this matter?

HighQue007:
oh

A welcome development.

I understand we should keep these politicians on their toes and demand more especially accountability and transparency However, we can be constructive and critical in our arguments and demands also acknowledge when appropriate to move forward.

And may the god of the land, Almighty God punish the generation of people that exploited our situation and introduced Ethnicity Bigotry and Religion to our politics. It has always been there but never been this bad. We have never been this divided. Whoever that is God punish you no matter the money you have.
Every politician in Nigeria have failed us. Everyone of them Including Tinubu, Atiku and Obi. They owe us a working system. Peace!

There is nothing constructive about going around in circles.

Let states , region take ownership of electricity lifecycle and

tiswell:
What's the desperation all about in this project?



Personal interests and aggrandizement I guess

Tinubu is the major shareholder of Eko Atlantic Phase 1 and the proposed Phase 2; he needs a road network to open up his investment and connect it to Lekki Deepsea Port, another one of his investments.


Tinubu is building a Dubai for himself and a selected few.

David Fatunmbi @davidfatunmbi

Preliminary impact assessment certification is not acceptable for the multi-billion project. Before you can proceed with a project of this magnitude, you must complete a full impact assessment with all stakeholders' approval. Has the community been impacted, and what is the impact on Nigeria's biodiversity and climate change?

Only in Nigeria will a project be implemented without due process and proper governance. That's why nobody wants to invest in Nigeria

Tetrahedron:
Toh, una see yourselves nigerdelta people with “na our oyel mentality”!
Is there no oil in southwest, we are ready to welcome foreigners

Tinubu , should be fixing the problem in the Niger-Delta before soliciting for new investment

SoNature:
The biggest tool of APC is tribalism (divide and rule). Engage an APC minion in a conversation or debate, he will call you a tribalistic person who hates the progress of the country because he has nothing to say.

They've used that tool so well in Lagos to win guber elections and have brought it to national politics. It is a shame that Umahi who joined APC yesterday has adopted this same strategy.

APC is a hopeless organisation; their corruption and greed might lead Nigeria to another war

Where are the jobs?

SoNature:
Federal government should sell its power assets to states, private sector or make it a PPP. Tinubu has already signed the power bill, allowing states to handle the three sections of the electricity industry.

States should start generating, transmitting and distributing power. How long do we have to continue with this madness called national grid to admit that it's not working? Every day it keeps collapsing like it's epileptic.

The National Grid is a failed project.

I suggest a state and regional grid. Nigeria already has 15,000 MW. If these plans are sold to the state, there is a better chance that they can meet 90% of the generation capacity.

DMerciful:
This shows you guys know that Obi won the election of 2023 and he is still the major threat to Amoda. If this was made by Obi, you guys will be running like headless chickens on this thread

Take my name, Sulaak, from the list of people supporting Tinubu. I despise that bastard and his destruction of Nigeria.

Keep my name on that last if you think my support for the Yoruba race is wrong.

Liars, the Fashola government, created sea barriers that Eko Atlantic used to build the city without an integrated road network. The Lagos -Calabar is now being used to build the missing road network.

jkpbestseries:
This man is very useless. Although kanji dam alone can serve the whole Nigeria light, but those big men involve in Generators and Solar business has refused the initiatives of us getting constant power supply.

Stop writing nonsense; Kanji Dam can deliver only 700MW of Electricity, which can barely meet the requirement of Niger state. Nigeria requires a minimum of 60, 000 MW

That minister of tourism, what exactly she for dey do?

Naija wey no fancy tourism that much..

The only tourist resort in Lagos ...Landmark is being demolished by President Ebola

MrProlific95:
Aaa,

Ain't this the same mistake Buhari government made?

How can Tinubu be worsw than Buhari, haaaaaa

Tinubu will finish the poor oo

Nigeria cannot produce wealth due to insecurity and poor infrastructure. Hence, the only means of production is to print money. This was the downfall of the Zimbabwe government

EKONGKING:
Why do we not hear these type of accidents in other African countries.

Why only in Nigeria these happen monthly

The majority of Nigerian vehicles and drivers should not be on the road.

Do not own outright: True. It is OWNED WITH A MORTGAGE.

Cannot make modifications without notifying the bank: FALSE. Except ofcourse the modification is also being financed by the bank.

Any external and structural modification of a property must be accompanied by a full survey, architect design and structural design that will be reviewed by the bank and approved by the local council.

If you don't own a property outright, then you don't have permission to alter that property.

VaginaAcademic:
Tinubu is just an office holder not a magician if you're expecting miracles from him i pity you. He is just a human being like everyone else don't expect him to do what you cannot do yourself. In a nutshell only the citizens can make the nation a better place. The president is just like a project supervisor the workers execute the project.

Nigeria need good leaders, and Tinubu is blocking the opportunity of a better leader to head the country

From Japa to grave,
From Japa to prison.

I dey always like all these kind news

Nigerians should please stay in Nigeria. The West cannot deal with Nigerians lack of discipline and madness. Japa no be by force

Obakoolex:
Big things happen to people here in Nigeria too even just in a couple of months, am a witness..... just that not everybody likes to loud things and put their lives in public.

Building a new federal government road when exiting roads are in dire condition is not big thing

chyzoo4u:
If you know your onions just like myself (yes, I'm bragging), you can own a house within a year in the UK unlike some discouraging stories some people like to tell.

They have a mortgage with a 10% deposit and monthly repayment. However, they do not own the house outright and cannot make modifications to it without consulting the banks that really own it.

chieveboy:
The rise of numerous Nigerian companies with better or competing products contributed to the sales plunge.

Many women now produce soaps from their backyard.

This is not bad at all.



Yes I did. They will go look for available local or even international companies to render their services to or setup small-scale factories to that effect, which was how PZ itself started.

Nothing is lost from the macro viewpoint.

Why didn't those market women corner the market in the 140 years of their existence

nedu666:
Egypt 35 and 53gw of electricity
South Africa 53 and 55gw
Naija 34 and 4gw

I don't think Nigerians appreciate the thorough nature of dysfunctionalities in the Nigerian state. A country that can provide clean water, modern sewage and electricity cannot be call a c

When some fools chased away Goodluck to install Buhari
what do you expect in such country


Today same fools are all supporting Tinubu
the one who brought Bubari

what a calamity

GEJ was equally as bad as Buhari. Didn't GEJ complete the sales of the Disco and Genco to cronies

Why are Benue and Plateau states on the list? Are they not supposed to be in the middle?

Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, Benue, and Plateau states,

Safe Trip and be safe every day.

He is the best president and political party (APC) that has led Nigeria's GDP from $570 to $253 billion in less than 10 years.

Why would they do all that hard work when they can simply bill you for darkness?

Kia, you don kill me

nairalanda1:
As the article says, the gas companies are owed money by the government. To the tune of 1.3 billion dollars. Government also owes gencos 1.3 trillion naira or an additional 1.0 bn dollars.

Gas companies as a result are refusing to supply gas as a result

Nigeria flare gas. is a gas that can be used to power electric turbines.

Why can NNPCL extract gas for use in the electricity power sector, as Aramco is doing in Saudi Arabia?

nairalanda1:
Hmm

Im gonna post this there. Do not read by the way

WE ARE going to borrow and keep borrowing until we follow Obi and Moghalu advice and...manufactured goods and services, and allow the free market work its magic in the power and petrol sector which means removal of subsides and cost reflective tarrifs...like some other African country...

You think only Obi and Moghalu are advising Nigeria to focus on industrial development
