It is a good move....what would amke things better is that the power generated stays in Anambra state...instead of being sent to some national pool for redistribution (One of the reasons why we do not have increased generation)

We r d space-setters...Bravo in LIGHTING up d State!LIGHT OF THE NATION.

Welldone

This is what I expect States government to do. Bring in investors in power, textile, IT, agriculture, etc into their States. Make them comfortable so they can employ your people and also earn foreign exchange for you.

Is only in anambra that the news man will say GOOD EVENING and then continue 2 tell good things abt the EVENING... We are unstoppable pls all ndi anambra should come home, it is time 2 develop our lovely state... Thank you WILLIE

erico2k2:

Well yes I agree or in other words, generate enough for its people and if in excess sell to the national grid.
Does it not beat you why a govt from any of the gas producing region could not build a small gas turbine to generate power

Because some people have sworn with their life that Nigeria will never have power

futurenix:
Abia State Governor is busy defending himself in court with worker's salary, Rochas busy decorating Imo state with worker's salary. Time will tell

May God save those two states..

Rochas is busy spending workers money on decoration, and ikpeazu is busy talking rubbish in court, okowa is busy speaking heavy english, and this idiot 4rm enugu is busy licking buhari anus, ebonyi own busy talking and talking, while WILLIE is busy working and working,,,, no wonder other states come 2 learn how he does what he does to make this great state a great one...

shaddoww:
How I wish dis governors investing directly or indirectly in power generation can just teem up with their senators n reps to sponsor a bill that will allow States generates it electricity n sell it to its people without having to connect it with the national grid.

I tire o... instead they are asking for state police lols.

love from Congo brazzaville...Our able governor carry go....all your subjects here in brazza are proud of you...my brothers from Imo state..im sorry...that Aturu awsa there in imo state is a curse......Anambra anyi adigo nma

I didn't see where the power source is mentioned, hope it'd be renewable. Cos that's the real deal.

Op! Did you mean 400MW?

Cost is too high.

Ya kpotuba!

Cost is too high

patrickkkk:
Cost is too much.

Is it your father's money or that of the private investor? Do you know the SPECs of the plant to determine the cost? Answer me fast..

Obiano was a Banker.

400billionman:
Governor Obiano has proved beyond doubt to be the best performing Nigerian governor.

This man must have some previous knowledge in economics or banking. He is picking the pieces of Anambra economy and placing them into shape.

This is the kind of man who should be a President. A man with a wining mentality. A man who can turn people's dreams into reality...

Anambra 20 years from now..

This wouldn't still help decongest Lagos. They will still be moving in their numbers to epp in the development of Lagos.

Oga no worry wait till d ports for d eastern regions begin they operate. And all d inland ports.

shamecurls:
Obiano is always signing.......

-The structures re always on paper or prototypes

Dangote will end-up buying-off the State

No sir, I expected you to have asked if I had a better option or method of generating the same Megawatt or more with lesser cost/price.

as much as I agree with your post, the emboldened is my fear due to who will take over from him might not have same zeal, wisdom and vision. Akwa Ibom case comes to mind because the current governor is nothing to write home about when compared to Akpabio

For Christ sakes is this governor not in NIgeria. A country where other governors cry and wail of no resources.
Am convinced this governor doesnt understand what it means to be a governor, one of their responsibilities is to generate revenue, create jobs and protect citizens of the state.

Those saying it's to expensive do not know what it takes to generate power.
A gas turbine that can generate 10MW costs as high as $7M. This excludes the cost of installation plus other accessories.
All in all, I think it's a good deal and kudos to Governor Obiano and the people of Anambra.

true talk

You have a better option and you are sleeping on Nairaland 24/7. Is it on Nairaland that you will build your own plant? Why not hit the field and start off with something!

I am particularly happy because the private investor is an anambra born. My inlaw to be more precise... from Ogbu Abatete, idemili north LGA. Omelora 1 of Abatete. So the money will never leave the shores of the state. More grease my people.

Anambra doing Igbos proud...ify from Italy
