those calling on gej to resign shud suck on dis.....gej z God sent to deliver naija frm power wahala...nd God ll help him achieve evn more than most of us xpect.....watch nd see.

My house in FCT has had light for 7 days without break. My village house has hd light for four days now without break and counting.

Enjoy it while it lasts. I remember we were told that Egbi power station would bring uninterrupted power supply. The best bet is to sell all the PHCN companies to private companies so that the equipment are maintained and we do not have cases of turbines breaking down for 3,4,5,6 years without repair.

Another fables.

I'll continue to reserve my coment till 2014, a yr b4 nxt presidential election. GEJ hs nt stayed up2 2yrs yet but by Nigerians shud evaluate his administration n compare 2 others of d past.
He is determined to work no mater hw any1 sees it. Slow or not.
I still reserve my speech.

I JUST HOPE THAT THIS IS FOR REAL

Maybe you should create another thread like ===> [size=14pt]GEJ answers critics on dividends of democracy[/size]

Then enlarge and bolden the section that dealt with other issues raised

Until we see it man,we have been hearing this

Correction. He has stayed more than 2 years as president of Nigeria. Nearing 2.5 years in a couple of weeks.

HammedSodiqq: Considering the recorded achievement so far, I see the Power sector under GEJ achieving this. Remember that recently, the FG has hit an all time high record of 4237 megawatt. we can only hope for the better.

Record high was recorded in December/January of 2012.

Feemmy: Gr8 work from the president and minister of power, though no light in my area for four days now.

Kolo!

Through Obasanjo. The NIPP projects were Obasanjo's initiation. Yar adua, along with Jonathan as VP stalled on those projects. The same NIPP plants which were commenced during Obansanjo days are what we are working on today.

Let there be light and there was light in Nigeria. Honestly, if this should happen, then it would be that GEJ has successfully engraved his name in the history of Nigeria. Ride on GEJ, more grease to your elbow. We are optimistic. Saboteurs and vandals stay clear o!

Telthetruth: i applaud u Mr. President (GEJ) though i hv nt seen light in ma area for the past 3 weeks nw.

A true Nigerian.

I criticise d govt wen dey deserve it. But on this power issue, d govt deserves commendation jor! As I type, there has been light all day. Oops! They just cut it off now-now! But nonetheless, there is serious improvement in power supply. So I believe GEJ if he says we wil soon hit 9000mw. He can and wil do it.
I urge every Nigerian to keep d faith so far as power is concerned. Don't be weary: this one is different from anti-corruption campaign or BH menace. On this one he can deliver.

Make dem quick do cos me go soon dey show. No place like ome.

The projects, which on completion, will add additional 4960mw to the national grid are: Ihovbor in Edo State (451mw), Omotosho in Ondo State (451mw), Olorunsogo in Ogun State (750mw), Sapele in Delta State (451mw), Geregu in Kogi State (434mw), Egbema in Imo State (338mw), Gbarain in Bayelsa (225mw), Omoku in Rivers State (225mw), Calabar in Cross River State (561mw) and Alaoji in Abia State (1074mw)

Wait oh! No northern States?

The NIPP was planned as a ‘Fast Track’ Project with 7 Power Stations conceived by the immediate past President Olusegun Obasanjo's Administration of the Federal Government of Nigeria to address the twin issues of low power generation and gas flaring from oil exploration in the Niger Delta region.

Power plants planned include:

1) Ihovbor Power Station Benin, Edo State with the capacity of 4 x 125MW

2) Calabar Power Station, Cross River State with the capacity of 5 x 125MW

3) Egbema Power Station, Imo State with the capacity of 3 x 125MW

4) Gbarain Power Station, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State with the capacity of 2 x 125MW

This project was conceptualised as an intervention project to comprehensively address the state of electricity infrastructure in Nigeria. It is designed as a fast-track approach to improving the country‘s electricity power supply through the implementation of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Gas Supply projects.

The main thrust of the project is the design, manufacture and supply of seven new Gas Turbine Power Plants with the provision for conversion to combined-cycle operation.
SeWa (previously STEAG Encotec West Africa) and APTEC were contracted as one of the Project Consultants of the Federal Government (Ministry of Power) for the power plants being built. The following are the services rendered:

PHCN started several power projects in 2004 to comprehensively address the state of the electricity infrastructure in the country with open cycle power plants. The Phase II Power Projects in Nigeria consisted of an extension of four Open Cycle Power Plants under construction to Combined Cycle plants.

After several technical studies were completed, the project changed course to increase power output and improve thermal efficiency. After several adjustments, the total additional Phase II power plant output will contribute to increase total generation in Nigeria by 2,430MW.

Why wasn't he able to complete the project under his eight years in power,and billions of dollars spent.

I hear say na too much rain make our dam D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ generate high megawatt
Make una wait till dry season before τ̲̣̣̥н̣̣̣̝̇̇̇ε̲̣̣̣̥ praises

It's been months of constant power in my area but I'll still wait till December before I give him my final assessment. They have promised 9000MW in few months (and that most of them are 95% complete)if by year end we are no where close to 6000MW then I'll take it as a normal promise of a politician but if he delivers then he'll be sure of my vote come 2015. They better not raise our hopes only to dash it as had been the case since 1999.

Chubhie: Make dem quick do cos me go soon dey show. No place like ome.

Come back home my dear! I'll be waiting 4 u with foo-foo and ofe-egusi, amala & ewedu, with fresh palm wine for u to wash it down.

Please look up the expected completion dates for the projects as highlighted in the article for you to read.

The NIPP projects, commenced during the Obasanjo years, were meant to boost production from the Niger Delta states.

I dont like GEJ on many grounds BUT ON THIS GEJ is simply excellent and better than all past presidents put together.

On other issues such as security and corruption, i score this government very low but not on power. I've used my generator only once in the last six weeks. That to me is an achievement for this administration. Anyway lets see what will happen during the dry season.

Hahahahahaha! I wish you know how you sound and how those reading your post regard it. A man who didn't see light during OBJ and Yaradua time is telling you he is enjoying good light now and you are desperately trying to convince him GEJ should not be commended but OBJ. Comedy unlimited. Lwbmb!

solomon111: Why wasn't he able to complete the project under his eight years in power,and billions of dollars spent.

Help me ask her. If Obj had been smart enough to formulate a comprehensive roadmap like GEJ has done, would we be crying over inadequate gas 12years later? Some of these criticis are just impossible!

Hahahahahaha! The work of propaganda! How can too much rain make a dam to produce more power than its installed capacity. The combined capacity of Kainji and Shiroro is 1360MW. Even if Noahs rain fall, the capacity will not increase more than that. Its like saying a car now runs at 350km/h because the tank is full. Lwbmb! (Laugh wan break my back!) Ignorance is a luxury.

Haw soon?? I have heard heard dis before

dis government talks too much. pls deliver first ad stop all diz we will......... we shall....... we ar planin to...... pls deliver ad Nigerians will blow yur trumpet 4 u. I hav not felt any improvment powerwise yet. pls too ?much of talking is not good.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BILLS WE'LL PAY. Hope they will cut down high cost of Power Bill. It will be good if we have more Light wit subsidized bill.
