ebamma: his crime was trying to use his position as the minister of power to influence the bidding process of power plants to his company's advantage

maasoap: He was not sacked at all, he only resigned due to conflict of interests. How could you be a minister of power and still wanted to buy what you spearheaded its sale? BTW, the current improvement in the electricity supply was as a result of raining season as it was confirmed by government representative itself just last week. You've been told to expect a drop in supply once water level decreases in next 5 or 6 months. Whether Nnaji resign or not, electricity will still go back to its usual level. BTW, Nnaji is a thief, he removed 150naira maintenance fee only to replace it 500naira fixed charge! That's pure counter productive in nature.

You are applauding misinformation? Lol

He was not sacked because of workers complains. The workers are part of the enemy. He resigned because of conflict of interest.

The greater number of MW right now comes from gas stations, not rain.

Yes the 500 Naira fixed charge is a problem and I have been fighting it too, but it doesn't go into the pocket of the private companies alone. A major part of it still goes to government. Also, it is just like the fixed charge that was introduced by the telecoms companies earlier. On full privatization, it will be eroded by market forces eventually. Also, it wasn't a unilateral decision by Bart Nnaji. It was part of the demand of investors because they found out several issues with the power industry including the fact that close to 45percent of Nigerians don't pay for their electricity.

Like I said, I still don't fully agree the fixed charge should stay, but I understand the decision's premise and it does have some iota of legitimacy.

The guy is grossly misinformed and he is spreading it like a disease. Lol

i feel for the poor woman who gave birth to a brainless animal like you. when did you leave you rock-home?

jaw jaw:

Nothing amazes me like when someone consistently shows his lack of knowledge and still doesnt realize he doesnt know what he is talking about over and over again.
What do you know about electricity charges?
Bart Nnaii was trying to improve electricity generation and at the same time bring the Nigerian standard of billing to international standards.
In developed countries you are charged monthly 2 or more fees for power that are not related to what you consume.
I can reliably mention (1)Administration Fee (2)Meter and Data Fee.
So pls before u talk open your brain and learn.
Dont come here and expose your lack of knowledge.
Haba!!!

centje: don't just post out of half baked news. How sure are you that the circulating news is true. This is a wide travelled professor we are talking about here. And has been in that sector for years. If you are allowed to meet him one on one,can you muster courage,look into his eyes and call him a thief. Some of these people are senior citizens of nigeria. lets make effort to accord them so respect.

nelklyn:

Is this the only raining season we've had in Nigeria for the past several years? Let's be realistic Nnaji might have committed whatever it is he's accused of but he did his job well as the Minister of Power. I mean I have been serving in one village without electricity for several months not until he came to our rescue. And just a matter of hours that he resigned, the village is back to it's former state. Please...spare me the details

Enangson: In contrast, i think the PHCN workers are celebrating departure of constant power supply, which Prof Barth Nnaji represent.
