wow... sounds like he really did a lot.
So, how come I lived in a total of 3 states and 4 different towns during his 6 year tenure and I still never experienced the power stability I am experiencing now?and how come people were still complaining about power supply
ocelot2006:


Maybe because GEJ:

Built and commissioned FAR MORE power stations than his predecessors COMBINED

Fixed and expanded existing power stations

Ensured adequate gas supply via the GAS REVOLUTION that saw the construction and expansion of the MASSIVE gas delivery system

Upgraded and expanded the transmission grid, building far more substations and stringing new power lines

Responsible for massive distribution of of step down transformers initially held up at ports and PHCN offices

Built new distribution substations across the federation

Unbundled PHCN and sold it off, allowing for private sector participation

Outsourced TCN to major Canadian Utility Firm

let me wait too...


The situation is obviously good around the country now. The dams are full, gas supply is constant and yes... Nobody wants to mess with GMB.

This current situation shouldn't make the government lax. More investments are needed in the power sector especially the TSGP so that more gas fired plants can be built up north.





Let's however wait till dry season for us to really complement.
the wind of change is blowing

Ok.

It is normal for power generation to improve during rainy season. The water level in the dam is high resulting in higher power output.

Cant you just write without insulting? This is exactly what am talking about....how long did he actually need to do a follow up? I know you will support this....as i am not suprised one inch.
I believe you are one of the political bad::ass here..so, how long was Ex-PGEJ in office? Cause right now i feel i cant count.
I didn't insult you. You possibly misunderstood my post of humor for an insult. However, I know the past government was trying to commission some of the newly built power plants before the elections.

Perhaps, you need to be reasonable with your posts before concluding your propaganda. I don't admire the Nigerian government though. All of them.

Exactly!

I have no personal feud whatsoever against PMB and though I have my reservations about him, I can't just seem to wrap my hands around the logic behind praising him for the improvement in power supply.

How exactly has this government affected power generation? I haven't read of any reports claiming that our power generation has increased.

Someone should put up facts we can actually digest and not just come with the same rhetorics 'change has come', as though the mere announcement of that makes a difference.

Egbin is still not functioning to its optimum capacity because of gas shortages and you can't dispute the upgrade being the efforts of our amiable darling GEJ.

You are right Egbin is not functioning optimally but then NO PLANT is and Kainji if it were functioning optimally has still less capacity than Egbin. Nigeria is obliged to sell some electricity from Kainji to Niger as part of the agreement for Damming the river Niger so the total contribution of Kainji to electricity is still less than half on a non optimal Egbin. At any rate there is no year that it does not rain so that rain argument is rather lame . Its effect can only be marginal at best and most likely is non existent

Buhari is still your president. Eat your hearts out. Deal with it. Go and find a job! GEJ is enjoying his life while useless folks like

U are also the reason y politicians have been deceiving us and promising us the moon for ages and getting away with it. Address the issue or answer the question, u wont do that. It's all about sentiments for you.


By the way, little secret, I supported Jimi Agbaje for governor... but pls don't tell my bosses over at APC... shhhh! Tinubu might blow up Lagos state if he learns that one of his "deplorable hacks" has gone rogue.

I for fear na..Its not just propaganda. Its what I see that i make noise about..anyway, politicians are all the same.

Although, the electricity supply in my area has upped, there are still areas in Lagos that need more power.

The only thing that pained me during PGEJ tenure was that that stewpid BH didnt let him focus

I don't know if a topic such as this has been discussed on here, but I'm piqued as to the reason I, and many others (I'm sure) now have almost constant power supply. Did NEPA (sic) forget where they usually switch off the light? (Pun intended).

I would like to glean from the insights of those who have first hand knowledge on what went wrong earlier, and what is going rightly this time.

I had wanted to raise this on Nairaland. Good you've done so! Like you I'm just surprised. Interestingly, those in charge are not talking and we are left with speculations.

1. Kainji water level is high for more generation. Will wait till after the rains to test the veracity of this.
2. Past failure was sabotage to discredit Jonathan and his government.
3. Past failure was deliberate to arm twist us to pay more.
4. They've just put their acts together.
5. Fear of Buhari.
6. A combination of these and / or other reasons.

Its Simply the Fear/anticipation of Probe in the power sector. Shottage of Gas has stopped. Corruption in the power section has reduced already even before they will be invited.
You are right. Nebo & Co were sabotaging the power sector by making sure the gas pipes were blown up frequently so as to share the billions of Naira for repairs. But I believe the power sector will be probed.
