Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, as appealed to the conscience of electricity workers on Thursday, April 7 over epileptic power supply in the country saying the issue of epileptic eletricity is not the President's fault.

Speaking at the third triennial delegates’ conference of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies, the Minister said Nigeria lost N7.734bn between 2014 and 2016, owing to frequent strike actions embarked upon by electricity workers.

Fashola said the monumental revenue loss was discovered after conducting a snap survey of strikes embarked upon by workers in the sector between April 2014 and March 2016.



“Our job is to provide electricity and get paid for it; we have no other job. If electricity is not enough, it means that we haven’t provided it, you and I.

“If there is not enough electricity, it is not the fault of the President but you and I, who are employed to work in this sector.”

“The finger pointing should stop. Our responsibility is to provide electricity, let us go back to work, we will solve the disputes one by one. It is improved productivity of electricity that yields the money that goes into your pockets, let us understand it, because you don’t get paid in advance but in arrears,” he said.

Minster of darkness! Minster of darkness!

Which kind talk be this Na.......



Upon say God said : "let there be be light"...

Hmm, there ar sabotoirs in dz gvt.
Pipe line vandalism.etc.

I really don't know when we'll start commenting without doing so base on sentiment and emotion. The man said "YOU and I"; which include himself. After all, that is his ministry and those who he referred to as YOU work under this same ministry. Fashola is only attributing the faults and those responsible for providing electricity, which makes him more responsible.

Change doesn't come easy ..You have to go through some things ..Its hard today ..Y'all blaming Baba ..I know for sure its gonna be good one day ..#betterdays ahead ..if you believe click like ..share if you don't #Sai Baba

It's suddenly become rocket science I suppose?

Bunch of confused people

Baba doesn't know the foolish wailing supporters of thieves are typing away their electoral defeat in one agonizing pain after another. Fashola has sent a notice to electricity workers time to buckle up.

Keep delivering "inaugural lectures" up and down Mr Rocket Science!

But if Gej is the president, it is his fault, stable power supply will not be a rocket science abi?, in fact 8years of power is a waste. . This minister of darkness called FaAshiole is a perfect metaphor for a Hypocrite.

It is my fault then. These people need to start taking responsibility for their actions.

Why won't I blame buhari how could he appoint a man who achieved nothing in power as lagos governor a man who failed to consolidate on his predecessors plan to provide uninterrupted power for lagosians. Even bart nnaji was a million times better than this each time I regret why jonathan allowed prof nnaji to resign the country would have achieved a lot under him

NOW MR. MINISTER OF DARKNESS, WHAT WAS THE MORAL JUSTIFICATION FOR WICKEDLY INCREASING THE NEPA TARIFF WHEN FASH-OLE, FASHOLA KNOWS FULLY WELL THAT THE POWER SITUATION IS WORST NOW.
IS IT ME THAT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR EXTORTING AND EXPLOITING POOR NIGERIANS
GOD ALMIGHTY WILL SURELY PURGE YOUR STOMACH OF ALL OUR STOLEN INCREASED NEPA TARIFF

This guy should shut up already!

Can you read?

AZeD1:

Can you read?

no, I can't. Pls on whose table does all of Nigerias problem stop? Mine or the president?

When he entered newly we all hailed him because Light "improved", now we shouldn't blame him. Light is seriously dropping below 2000MW and you said we shouldn't blame him?
....meanwhile

Well I don't feel this power outage as such. There is light at least 12 hours everyday.

Supported.

They are bunch of political Miscreants with demented and atrocious beehives.... Swiftly leading this nation to a calamitous end.

So after all the packaging and hype by gbawe and the sophisticated Lagos-ibadan express road press on fashola, We were rewarded with a record zero MW in the history of the black race. The ultimate scam now is that they want us to pay for zero MW generated!!!!
