Nice one!... Would have been nicer if this was a coal plant though; gas wahala in this country isn't encouraging at all and those idle coal mines need to be revived for people to feed.
Meanwhile if only the DISCOs can just do their freaking job properly, there would be a mad scramble by investors to build power plants across the federation. Power supply is a very lucrative business worldwide but conditions in Nigeria make it unattractive so everyone typically waits for the first person to bell the cat before others follow with a mad rush.
Kudos to Prof Nnaji for pioneering this, some useless litigations have delayed the take-off of Geometric Power but fortunately, I hear the legal issues have all been sorted out now and the plant would start operations next month. I'm sure when Nnaji begins to reap the billions, other investors would begin to lose sleep.
Still remains one of my favourite ministers. . . 2 Likes |

i doubt there is a 50 thousand barrels per day refinery working in this country. We're talking whether it has been completed or not. That's was the issue you raised. For the issue of working or not, you know the 3 States sharing boundaries there has been on dispute on who owns the oil wells, so if the refinery is not functional or functioning below capacity, that should be probably due to restiveness in the area. |

COMPAQ:
Exactly what Nigeria companies do!! Zuma power "has been" building coal power plant in Enugu for 5 years, yet no one has ever shown a picture of their construction site! The only company that consistently turns "I will' to" I have" is Dangote. That doesn't have any project that doesn't finish on time. Google nestoil |

What's the use of building such gigantic plant and then transmitting it into the national grid only for TCN and EDCs to give stories of vandalism and rejection? Good idea all the same. |

Century Power Limited, a subsidiary of the Obijackson Group, owners of Nestoil Limited, plans to start the construction of a-2000megawatts (Mw) thermal power plant in Anambra State, it was learnt.
The power plant, which will be sited at Okija in Anambra State, has been structured in such a way that the first phase, which will give an output of 465Mw and will commence operation in 2018.
Its Assistant General Manager (AGM), Group Business Development, Mr. Simeon Tor-Agbidye, told The Nation that the firm is tidying up arrangement for gas supply to the power plant from the East-West gas pipeline also known as the Obiafu/Obrikom – Oben (OB3) gas pipeline. The gas will be taken from the eastern part of the pipeline.
He also noted that a subsidiary of the Obijackson Group – Energy Works Technology Limited, is fabricating part of the topside facilities of Total’s Egina floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
He said: “A few weeks ago, we had a sail off for the Oil Loading Terminal (OLT) piles for the project. We sailed them off to South Korea where they will be integrated on the FPSO. We have finished that.
“We are at the final stages of completing K2s pipeline for Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC). The project is an engineering, procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for the 40km x 20 inches export pipeline to re-route Kolo Creek gas to Soku Gas Plant.
“We are also progressing smoothly with the OB3 pipeline. Obiafu/Obrikom–Oben is an EPC contract for the 64.5km x 48 inches gas pipeline project. We will soon complete that too. He explained that the scope of OB3 was actually split between Nestoil and Oilserv,” he said.
Tor-Agbidye said while Nestoil is coming from the West, Oilserv is coming from the East. He said: “One of the major achievements we have accomplished on this project is being able to surmount the challenges of the terrain. Coming from the West, we had some of the most difficult terrain crossing several rivers. We have crossed these rivers successfully with the innovative horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technology with our client, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Our subsidiary, NestHak HDD Limited is an expert in the technology and only company in Nigeria that has 100 per cent success in the job.”
“Few days ago we completed the crossing of the Ashe River, and currently we are looking to the crossing of the River Niger. We will drill under the River Niger and pull a pipe through so that it doesn’t lie on the water and constitute hazard to shipping and other users of the river. We will lay pipes under the River Niger. It is almost two kilometers. It looks small but the way it is done is not an easy feat.
lied please grant this man success.this is the development we're talking |
