Reference:

The APC needs something, anything to float the sunk reputation so a mere inspection will do. If you can't get chicken, vulture will do, afterall they both have wings. We need all the positive news we can get from this government.

It is just a normal visit to assess the level of work.

The APC government has a lot of things going for them and seem to be coming to their grove at the right time. A much better monetary policy and no fuel subsidy.

With the capital expenditure in the 2016 budget now working and more to come, they will have a lot of projects to commission in the next year and this money is flowing back into the economy. I expect the economy to bounce back between 6 months -1 year ...

And power generation under OBJ hit 5000MW so what rubbish GEJ are you talking about?

If it was 5000MW under OBJ, so why was it still 5000MW under GEJ?

You are obviously telling us GEJ did not add 1 single MW..


Must you people lie and peddle silly 419 rubbish?

There's something you are missing which is that generation capacity is a different stat from actual generation. Mostly due to lack of gas, vandalism and poor planning we've never been able to generate 100% of our capacity.

Your quote says 5000MW installed during OBJ's regime but that doesn't mean they were able to generate 5000MW.

Now, GEJ left us with 11000MW generation capacity.

We must not allow the avengers hold us to ransom, shun gas thermal stations, revive MAMBILLA DAM, go SOLAR and we won't have to beg anyone to stop blowing pipelines and wells. Then if they turn to blowing up transmission infrastructure, Nigerians will now have no choice but to take the war to them Because for now, alot of persons are still sentimentally sympathetic to them, but when the power isn't coming from crude, and only SS states stay in darkness, then i think the populace will have no choice but to rethink their allegiance

Fashola is the best among the Ministers. It baffles me whenever the Cockroaches are abusing or cursing him for the menace caused by the Avengers.
You need Fuel to power Generator, same as the Turbines, you need Gas to power them. Fash can fix electricity, but the Avengers ain't gonna make it work and stable!
FYI..... the Cockroaches, BRF will be the best Minister ever in the History of Nigeria by 2018.
mark my words!

with this road abuja to Enugu will take me only 2:30 min God bless pmb

Don't give credit to whom it does not concern. This is GEJ project . The project got stopped by Bihari when he assumed office so as to under score the good will of Jonathan. Else, the work would have been completed by now. God bless GEJ

This same bridge that Senator Mark listed as one of his achievements.

Oga Fash,I wish you success.

Yes, the bridge was actually Mark's achievement .The bridge was already 87% completed before Buhari had to stop the work to under score GEJ good will

iamlimo:

Thanks for the moronic question. But what the Bleep do you have now? stable power supply and not darkness?

You are dumb, uncouth and filled with ignorance

Haven't you read their roadmap to sustainable incremental stable power?

I hate it when rodents think they know more than the tons of professionals working in the ministry who are tasked to provide power

Nigeria has abundant gas that would have propelled us to our desired destination hence why the power strategy at the time was centred around gas dependent turbine power systems.

A government always have to provide solutions in record time especially when they are dealing with varying demands at the same time (rightly so).

They have now realised there isn't any point harnessing the gas when we would always have distribution challenges due to obvious threats from the militants.

They have realised this and have started diversifying for a better balanced outcome that will support our desired growth.

Some of the things they are doing are as follows:
They have managed to solve the legal hurdle that stopped Prof Nnaji's Geometric power sytem from coming on-stream

They have started addressing the legal issues surrounding the mambilla hydro plant

They are looking at the feasibility of embracing nuclear power plant (Not advisable due to obvious security challenges we face in the country)

They are looking at fixing all the small hydropower plants scattered around the country

They are looking at investing in Solar power system (This is not a quick win solution since we don't have readily available funds to invest in the solution at this time)

Nigeria's generation capacity is about 7,000MW.. Certainly not 11,000... But that is not relevant because we can't power many plants.

FASHOLA SEEMS TO BE WORKING.......BUT WHEN DID HE START THE BRIDGE UP TO THAT LEVEL? PAST GOVT OF GEJ DID IT. BUT I THANK GODS FASH WILL COMPLETE IT.
SAME TO LAGOS ,ABUJA AND ENUGU AIRPORT RECONSTRUCTION.HOPE AMAECHI WILL NOT SAY HE CONSTRUCTED THEM TOO. WE LIE EVEN WHEN WE ARE FASTING TOO BAD FOR A GENERATION

And a Zombie like you never mentioned all these trash during GEJ era even though power supply was better. Hypocrite. ..

and you the mutant cockroach with brain tumor!!! Is it only gas that can give power?

Thumbs up on the last shot.

Kudos!!! to active minister among all ministers Expecting more from u.....

They want miracle under 1 year but they where there for 5 good years.

Between May 2015 and February 2016, Nigeria maintained a power average of 4,000MW.. The highest in our history.

The system collapse started on February 14, 2016 when the forcados gas pipeline was blown.

Forcados is responsible for most of our gas supply.

I am in the energy sector so I know a little about these things. Through out GEJ tenure, we barely got up to 2,500MW. What Gas revolution are you talking about

Most of the Nigerian plants couldn't get gas...

As regards power reform, OBJ laid the most important foundations but GEJ advanced it.

Don't forget d military left us with 1000MW plus, so only 3000MW was added for 16 year's of PDP.

tbaba1234:


A 2 year project started in 2005 is not complete in 2016.

Obasanjo initiated it in 2005
GEJ had 5 years to complete it, he did not
Buhari should complete it

The three men might deserve some credit but it is an indictment on Nigeria that 11 years after a project started it is not complete.

Same as Ilorin to Ibadan express road still under construction.

tbaba1234:

Thanks for the correctiOn. I meant to say installed capacity which is a different stat from generation capacity.

If only we had enough gas pipes to power these plants.

@tbaba1234

Your words I consider golden which brings me to how I feel NL should have been developed. That is, encourage fact based comments backed up with verifiable reference by rating them.

For a long time I have a become passive reader on NL not wanting to contribute because of a large swathe of contributors whose only aim it seems is to be able to change and deflect the narratives of any threads. I don't know to what end. E tire me no be small.

I know there are concerned people somewhere who realize this as well and may just shock NL with a better platform if NL does not sit up. There is too much derailment on NL to be able to pick out the facts because of no standards.

Just my 2 cents.

Can you please tell us or list the power plants GEJ built or they exist only in your dream?

Please stop littering the internet with nonsense..

This same bridge that Senator Mark listed as one of his achievements.

Oga Fash,I wish you success.

The bridge was initiated through the efforts of David Mark.Looking at the picture you will observe that the bridge bus almost 90% complete.Ask your self when the job was awarded.Its not every time you rush to comment without thinking.
