Fashola Settles EEDC And Geometric Power Dispute Over Supply To Aba by kettykin: 9:21pm On Mar 31, 2016
Abuja – The Federal Government on Thursday settled the power dispute between Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) and Geometric Power Limited over which of the two companies would supply power to Aba and its environs.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, said in Abuja where the companies signed an agreement that the settlement of the dispute was a historic achievement in the sector.

He said that it was important that two former ministers in the country, Prof. Barth Nnaji and Mr Tokunbo Kayode, were on different sides of the dispute.

Fashola expressed appreciation to Vice President Yemi Osinbanjo, who he said initiated the process of settling the dispute six months ago.

The minister said with the settlement of the dispute, the people at Aba and Ariaria market would now have electricity to boost their businesses.

Fashola also said that though there were challenges due to vandalism and theft of power equipment by hoodlums, the future was still bright for the industry.

The minister further explained that the 200 megawatts of power generated by Geometric would add to the available power in the country.

Nnaji, who earlier said the signing of the agreement was historic, expressed gratitude to the president, vice president and the Permanent Secretary in the ministry for their efforts in resolving the dispute out of court.

Kayode also expressed regrets at the dispute, commending the efforts of the president, vice president and permanent secretary in tackling the problem.

According to Kayode, the signing of the agreement will fast track development in Aba and its environs.

if the problem of electricity cannot be solved as Fashola being the minister,then Nigeria should forget about electricity.

Thanking fashola for resolving the imbroglio as a lawyer doesn't equate solving the biafran issue, fashola whose job and reputation is at stake following non performance of the power sector has no other option than to resolve the issue as there has not been any achievement in power sector in the APC government since last year. Biafra issues will be discussed differently and separately.

Fashola is 4 months old at his job, but i am certain he will do a yeomans job. He is a fantastic thinker with good attention to details. Some ignorant folks have accused him of increasing electricity tariff, but that is not his doing, the privatised discos signed a multi year tarriff order some years back with the FG, which implies gradual increase in tariff, the recent increment in tariff was due just before the 2015 election, but the then govt impressed it on the discos to suspend till after elections.

From my assessment of Fasholas in his 4 months , he has a draft roadmap for the power sector 2. he has persuaded the discos to suspend service charges on consumer bills 3. he has been able to settle out of courts the protracted legal case that made 300,000 pre paid meters redundant in a ware house.

this news also adds another feather to the cap of his achievements . There are definitely many other goodies in the pipeline, this is not the time to play politics of hate, national election is not holding until late 2018 or early 2019. Apc nd pdp will settle scores then.

He is not the first power minister with no engineering qualification, the likes of Bola ige, liyel imoke, segun agagu e,t.c were once power ministers, but they flunked at their jobs.

I bet that by the time he is 18 months on that seat, most Nigerians will say he was a round peg in a round hole.

Anyway, fashola's portfolio is too heavy for him. Bubu should let him concentrate on power. Someone else should pick up the other two.

Overload dey kill oooooo.





I want to believe this is no longer a CAN-DO attitude for fash. Accepting these three is a CAN-DIE thing

Geometric i believe will deliver more than their counterpart EDDC who's already finding it hard to supply to Imo state in addition to Enugu and its surroundings causing shortage of power. The epileptic power problem in Ariaria and faulks road is alarming and I'm hopeful this new development will yeild better result.
