Power Supply To Worsen In The Coming Days by Olaposiwaju: 10:36am On Mar 13, 2015 |
The supply of electricity across the country will worsen in coming days due to the loss of about 800 megawatts of power as a result of the blasting of the Escravos Lagos Gas Pipeline at midnight of Wednesday. According to the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, the recent damage was done by vandals, who ruptured the ELGP with an explosive device at Egwa, near Batan, in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State. Speaking through his Special Assistant on Media, Mrs. Kande Daniel, the minister said this attack, being the fourth this year, came only hours after repairs on an earlier attack of Sunday, March 1, 2015 were completed and gas were being piped through the pipeline again. Nebo, in a statement on Thursday night, said the exact extent of the damage was being assessed but the impact was the loss of about 200 mmscf/d of gas, equivalent of about 800MW per day of generated power. According to Nebo, it has become clear that the vandals, who perpetrate these acts are intent on crippling the power sector and bringing untold hardship on Nigerians for either political or financial gains or both. He said although pipeline vandalism had held power generation at less than 4,000MW as against currently available capacity of over 5,000MW, government was not deterred from its commitment to provide security for its oil and gas, as well as power infrastructure. The minister stressed that the nation could now conveniently generate and wheel out over 4,500MW, but for gas supply disruptions through vandalism. Nebo also appealed to Nigerians to become more vigilant and report suspicious movements and actions to security agencies for effective protection of public infrastructure for the common good of Nigeria.

Olaposiwaju:despite all the billions of naira allocated to the Niger-Delta militants to guard the pipelines,there are still cases of pipeline vandalism especially in the niger delta? Me think the militants intentionally blow up these pipelines just to get more juicy contracts from the FG and put the nation to suffer epileptic power outage. Watch how Femi Fani Kayode and PDP will blame APC for the vandalization of the pipelines. 91 Likes 2 Shares |

Oh dear. Thanks PDP....(Especially for removing Prof Nnaji.....way to go!). On a more serious note....the trouble is that we have a serious generation problem. Since every Nigerian loves to hate Nuclear power.....I suggest we collabo with Niger Republic....and build giant solar farms in the Sahara desert....could help raise our generation. Oh...and more HEP dams....and more gas powered plants. And let us stop hearing about the transformation in power....because it does not exist. We are still far behind. Modified.....About time we set up a Pipeline security Police....and equipped them with helicopters, drones, and weapons to sniff out pipeline vandals. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

NYSC stands for national youth service corps but to people WHO have actually went through it often refer to it as now your suffering continues. The condition in which most graduate are subjected to in the name of service to their fatherland is so pathetic. After years of struggle in higher institution of learning graduates are subjected to another struggle in the name NYSC. With the current condition of living, N19, 800, is not enough for most students up keep. Though, the current president has promise to increase the corps members allowance from N19, 800 to N50, 000 in one of his interview with pressmen in 2014, the president has also reaffirm that he has a special package for youth corps members, no body know how this package is going to be but many hope that it will include the allowance increment. The program should be improved because it is not career wise, corps member are not sent to the right place during their secontinue reading 7 Likes |

Ex-militants blow up crude oil pipeline in Delta on march 20, 2013 at 1:06 pm in news Facebook Share Twitter Share By Emma Amaize WARRI- EX-MILITANTS, in the early hours of Tuesday, bombed a crude oil pipeline, belonging to the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, located between Evwreni Edjekota and Ewu in Ughelli North Local Government Area. A source told Vanguard, “ Those who carried out the explosion are the same group that exploded a gas pipeline in Ughelli axis, recently. Their anger is that they were not documented for the post amnesty programme by the Federal Government after surrendering their arms to the Joint Task Force in 2001.” “They gave the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to document them or return their arms, but nothing was done about the matter, that was why they struck again today (yesterday)”, he added. However, a top official of the Amnesty Office, Abuja, who disowned the ex-militants, told Vanguard, “We are not even sure they are ex- militants, it is you (Vanguard) that is telling me now. Anybody, who is an ex-militant that surrendered his arms and accepted amnesty, took an oath that he would not return to such criminal act anymore and so, I do not believe they are ex-agitators.” “If they are, they have broken the agreement and my take is that security agents should identify them and take care of them because they are criminals. The amnesty programme is not an everlasting programme, some people have been documented for the programme and this office is handling their training,” he added. It was gathered that the ex-militants who exploded the crude oil pipeline did not meet with resistance and returned to base safely. The action committee of the third phase ex- militants that launched the attack, in a statement, said, “At the expiration of the seven- day ultimatum, third phase ex-militants, who the Federal Government did not register, about 12.26 am, this morning (Tuesday) , in Ughelli axis in Delta State, blew up a pipeline, located between Evwreni Edjekota and Ewu.” “The fire is still on as we send this message, this is just the beginning in the Niger-Delta region. We will not sleep until government gives us our amnesty slots. For the avoidance of doubt, we are the undocumented ex-militants who the federal government asked to submit all the arms they have early 2011, yet they refused to include us in the recent documentation. “All our reports are in the hands of government and they excluded us, we are still begging the government to give us back our arms and we gave them seven-days ultimatum to reason with us. Nevertheless, government did not respond, this is to say government has called for war. “We will start exploding all flow stations and pipelines belonging to oil companies in Delta state, now we want to face the oil companies if they did not intervene in this matter and resolve the problem. “Another five-day ultimatum is hereby given for the companies to to act, they should be warned, next time, it is operation no mercy”, statement added 3 Likes |
