If true,itz simply telling us dat d method isn't cost effective...#Shikena

abes: Biggest in Africa? They are not honest, why should we believe them?

VoteOutPDPJona: Like Ibos like Middle belterns. Like second Niger bridge like this election Mambila power plant contract. People Deceiving People. Nigerians are no longer daft.

Dude, who told you Nigerians are no longer daft?... a lot of people are already rejoicing at this white elephant 4months to election promise of 'proposed' power plant, in fact many have already included it as one of the major achievements of Jona just like they are already singing his praises for 'building' 2nd niger bridge.

As for me, these political charlatans should wake me up only when (if) the project is being commissioned.

I don't understand d partying abt this.He hasn't sign d contract.Make him sign d contract 1st.My own opinion?Just a stunt.

For those saying this is because of next year election I have this question:
Was the agric reform, the automobile policy, freedom of information bill, the railway revival, the road constructions, ajaokuta steel that is gradually coming to life, the growth in manufacturing, growth in economy, the privatization of the power sector etc all because of election?
Goodluck so far has proven to be a politician who does what he says, when it comes to infrastructure I can take this government promises to the bank.

obasanjo already commisioned the contract before he left office with 1 billion dollar loan collected, yaradua cancelled the project and Jonathan after six year now recommission it again. election antics and tactics. all the gas fired plants was done during obasanjos era and they were near completion before he left in 2007. jonathan could not even complete most of them, even after using 6 years in power. all those power stations has the combined capacity of about 10,000megawatt and we're generating about 4000mw now. jonathan never initiated any new power stations and the ones obasanjo initiated, after six years he cant complete them. jonathan has failed nigerians.

I want to know how much Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria(TAN) has paid Nairaland to compaign for GEJ and PDP.

APC and others copy same pls.

arresa: SA produces 45% of generated electricity in Africa.

SA has the worlds largest coal fired power plant that produces 4,111 MW

SA is building another coal fired power plant to top the current world record holder @ 4,800 MW for $805 million

But Nigeria is spending $7 billion on a 3,000 MW power plant... + The $20 billion they've spent that gave us nothing but continued darkness..

Sometimes I wonder about Nigeria and the clowns running this country..

You maybe right but why did it take Obasanjo eight years to only initiate power projects not build and commission one. Don't you think Obasanjo has fail us too

Rikidony: Op stop spreading fake info, Mambilla power is not the biggest power project in africa. the Kenyan govt just sign a contract with China to build 5000mg power station even DRCONGO is building the biggest hyddro power station in africa. dude we are celebrating medeocrity in this country when smaller and less rich contries are doing more.

yes Gej is doing his best to stabilize power which we thank him for that

5000mg? in tablet or capsule?

Stevaz01:
did you just say he's trying..??
you fall my hand gan ooo Bros..
didn't they say 'to whom much is given,.much more is expected??'
as a matter of fact,it's high time he paved his office and let someone else try more

#GEJ is out of ideas.. Na brain remain

THEN WHO DO YOU THINK IS CAPABLE

victorazy:

Is bcux ur a f00l that doesn't know that no African power plant generates more than that.

Then come here so you can tell me what you really are.

SCAM

This same project whose Contract was ratified in 2011 by this same Government promising 87monts completion period at around $2billion suddenly is getting re awarded just to make political statement-http://www.dailytimes.com.ng/article/fec-ratifies-mambilla-hydro-power-project.

We have a lying deceptive government.
THIS WAS IN 2011
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday ratified an earlier awarded contract of N5.65billion (US$37.2million) for the proposed 2,600-Megawatt Mambilla Hydro power project in Taraba.

Minister of Information and Communications Labaran Maku told reporters after the FEC meeting which was presided over by President Goodluck Jonathan at the State House in Abuja.

Labaran said the contract was awarded to Messrs Coyne et Bellier together with two local companies with an 87 months completion period.

Clarifying an earlier FEC directive stopping the award of all contracts since December 2010, Labaran said the Mambilla power project had been awarded previously, but there was the need for its ratification by the Council.

"It is a crown project for this country in addressing significantly the issue of power," he said, stressing that the project was one of the major programmes of the Federal Government towards improving energy security in the country.

The FEC also ratified approval for the variation of the contracts for the construction of 225MW Gbarain Power Plant and 338MW Egbema Power Plant. The ratification of the variation was as a result of memos presented by the Minister of State for Power, Nuhu Wyato.

The government had made a request made to the contractors to modify the design of the plant to accommodate additional gas turbines and combined cycle operation.

Gbarain contract was reviewed from N21billion to N33.5billion while Egbema contract was reviewed to raise expected generation from 338MW to 675MW.

Crowd management

In another development, the President has directed special training of security agencies on crowd management to avoid future occurrence of the last week’s tragedy in Port Harcourt.

Labaran said the President gave the directive after the Council had reviewed the incidence.

He stated that FEC commiserated with the families of the victims of the tragedy and prayed God for the repose of their souls.

ROSSIKE:

I actually thought you were brighter than this. So you actually believe a 4,800 mw power plant can be built for $805 million? Fact is that the $805 million was an initial loan taken out to fund the Kuslie project commencement in SA, and most certainly not the entire amount required, as shown by this list of funders:


''The following institutions are involved in supporting the Kusile Power Station:
