Nigeria ’s Minister of Power,
Works and Housing, Babatunde
Fashola, has assured Nigerians
that electricity supply to homes
will improve from next month.
Mr. Fashola said this while
delivering a lecture at the
University of Lagos on Thursday.
In his lecture titled “Power sector
reform In Nigeria: challenges and
the way forward”, the former
Lagos state governor said, “We
are working round the clock to
solve the (power supply)
problem. We are going to get
more power by August.
“How we get equipment,
transformers, and all of the
equipment needed within the
next cycle of 60 to 90 days is
critical so that we don’t lose all
that energy that is coming from
the raining season,” he added.
Commenting further, Mr. Fashola
said “If you don’t pay for
electricity, you have violated a
law. But we are now trying to
make that law stronger, and we
are looking at how to include
fines and to increase the
consequences. We want to make
it easier to comply than to
violate.”
“There are different types of
consumers and therefore they
require different kinds of meters.
Meters are calibrated differently
for each distribution company.
So, the meter that Ikeja disco has
– if you move them from Ikeja
disco, they must be recalibrated
before you can use them. If you
use the wrong meter, you’ll pay
the wrong tariff,” he stated.
On the agitation to cancel the
privatisation of the power sector,
Mr, Fashola said, “Instead of
saying ‘cancel the privatisation,’ I
would rather say, let us rework
the privatisation and re-engineer
it to make it work.
“When people ask us to cancel
the privatisation, I ask them how
that impacts our moving forward
when we demonstrate that we
are a nation that cancels a
respecting contract. Where are
we going to get the dollars to
refund (the contractors)? Because
they paid in dollars and I don’t
think they would accept naira.”
The minister assured that the government
would ensure that it makes the system work,
adding that cancellation is not the best step
to take.
“We cannot keep canceling, there must be a
point where we can make things work and I
guess that is what this administration is
about. We can make it work,” he said.

Many people would blame Fashola and leave out the idiots that privatized power without due process and weighing the pros and cons.
