Electricity in my area has been very steady. The problem now is that most of the people now drink too much Garri with Cold water and Sugar.Now the price of G4 has increased due to excess demand and low supply.

There is usually light about 12-18 hours per day and occassionally there is steady light for about 24-72 hours. There is usually steady power supply at Technobat Quarters, Mile 6 and Round Block in Jalingo.

How much were you spending on purchase of fuel and servicing of your generator when power supply from PHCN was erratic?

Drastic decline in Jos since Nnaji's resignation

ogele: I live by Alapere Estate, just by Alapere Police Station. Yesterday made it 1 month and 1 week we have been enjoying electricity in my area...Honestly at a time i had to come out of my compound to check the house address to actually confirm if i am in Nigeria. Kudos to Prof. Barth Nnaji. Personally I thank God i was alive to witness steady light in Nigeria for once. Atleast in my area here, we are enjoying electricity more than Ghananians cos Ghananians electricity is nolonger steady like it use to be before... ELECTRICITY HAS IMPROVED IN MY AREA IN AS MUCH AS I AM CONCERN...GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND GOD BLESS NIGERIA....

AND GOD BLESS YOU TOO.

Power supply in port-harcourt rivers state has reduced drastically since the departure of barth nnaji. This is the first time in over a year that I have not had power supplied for a full day to my residence. Mgbouba, port-harcourt.

kinguwem: How much were you spending on purchase of fuel and servicing of your generator when power supply from PHCN was erratic?

Don't mind the idiat...

Typing in from Ibieye, Badagry expressway, we have had electricity as in its going out of business. The supply is so good that when ever i want to drink water from my fridge i will have to thaw out the bottle because it is also "blocked". Reason being i have electricity for like 22hours in a day.

Electricity has gone worse in most parts of Surulere, Lagos. Now, for over 2 weeks, it's just about 6 hours a day.

The reason I was a bit circumspect when everyone went dancing away about 24-hour power supply....So, it was more about rainfall (and a little repair) than any significant work by the Federal Government.

See below: PUNCH Newspaper, 26 August 2012: ELECTRICITY WILL DROP BY 300MW AFTER RAINY SEASON-NERC. Link: http://www.punchng.com/news/electricity-will-drop-by-300mw-after-rainy-season-nerc/

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has said power generation will drop by 300 megawatts after rainy season and this will partly cancel the improvement in electricity supply experienced recently in some parts of the country.

While answering questions during a recent e-conference on power sector reforms, organised by Spaces for Change, a human rights organisation, the Chairman of the NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, said the recent improvement had been due to repairs of some power plants and high water volume occasioned by the rainy season.

Amadi told the moderator of the e-conference, Zainab Usman, of the International Crisis Group, Brussels, that it was unrealistic to expect more than 5000MW by December.

He urged Nigerians not to be too hopeful about the recent improvement, stating that a massive haulage of power will come in the near future.

“The current improvement in generation is because of repairs on plants which resulted in the recovery of lost capacity, and of course, the rise in rainfall has helped us to recover about 200 to 300MW lost during the dry season.

“We have over 20000MW of licensed power. If we succeed in creating a market that allows for these licensees to get to bankability for their projects, then we are home and dry. So, we should not invest much hope on this small improvement.

“The key thing is to let Nigerians know that although in the next eight months or so, we may not see a major haul of new power, in the subsequent eight months, we will make significant and sustainable progress,” he said.

Amadi noted that the capacity building embarked upon by NERC was yet to yield results in terms of improvement in power generation and distribution.

Amadi also noted the bane of the power sector has been corruption, which had continued to undermine the investments made in the sector.

He said, but for corruption, the National Integrated Power Project initiated by the Olusegun Obasanjo administration would have provided at least an additional 5000MW of power.

Amadi also reiterated that the prepaid meters were to be distributed to customers free of charge.

“Meters are no longer to be paid for by customers. That is the law. But practice may be different in many different places. Please refuse to pay for meters and report anyone who asks or collects money for meter to NERC and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,” he said.

no electricity in my area of Port Harcourt since yesterday; really terrible.

For 48 Hours now we haven't had power supply.
