Power transmission hits 5,222 megawatts — highest ever
December 26

�by Oluseyi Awojulugbe


The ministry of power says the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) successfully transmitted 5,222 megawatts of power to the national grid, the highest transmission in the country’s history.

The ministry announced this in a tweet on Tuesday morning.

“The Transmission Company of Nigeria, (TCN) recorded a new national peak with the transmission of 5,222.3 mega watts (MW) of electricity into the national grid. This achievement is the highest ever recorded in Nigeria’s power sector to-date.”

10:33 PM - Dec 25, 2017

In a statement released in Abuja on Sunday, Ndidi Mbah, TCN general manager, public affairs, said the company developed a transmission rehabilitation and expansion programme (TREP) to enable it prioritise and execute critical transmission projects across the country.

Mbah said this necessitated the clearing of TCN’s stranded containers containing various transmission equipment at the seaports, to enable it complete previously abandoned projects to further expand the transmission grid.

She said a total of 759 containers were abandoned by contractors at the ports within the last five years.

Of this figure, Mbah said 454 have been cleared by the TCN from March to date, adding that payment for 193 containers had been made and payments for 112 containers were yet to be made.

For a country that has spent nearly 60 years in independence, this is extremely poor.

Countries that gained independence at almost the same time with us in Asia and Europe are light years ahead in every ramifications.

South Africa built their 40k MW, one hundred MW at a time, not 40k MW at a go. Nigeria has wasted a lot of time with PDP, Abacha and IBB.
Na when person wake up be him morning. Now we will build one hundred MW at a time untill we reach 40K MW and beyond.
You have to start from somewhere. Everyone you see that has achieved something today started from somewhere.
We are starting late, no thanks to PDP, Abacha and IBB. Slowly but steady, we will get there.

Why do you love peddling fake news so much? Are you so shameless that honesty is a problem of yours? Fashola clarified what he said, but his explanation does not fit into your narratives. Do you happen to have the video that Fashola is asking for? Shameless liar.

I didn’t promise regular power in six months –Fashola
Published May 25, 2016


The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), has denied ever saying as the then Governor of Lagos State that if given a chance, he could fix the problem of electricity in Nigeria within six months.

Fashola, who was speaking during a programme on the Nigerian Television Authority Network on Tuesday, which was monitored by our correspondent, urged those crediting the statement to him to stop peddling falsehood.



The minister challenged anyone with a recording of where he had boasted that he could provide regular electricity to Nigerians within six months to publish such insisting that he had only promised that he could supply a community in the Lekki area of Lagos with power from an Independent Power Project in the state within six months with the permission to do so.

He said, “I have heard that I said that electricity problem will be solved in six months. I have never made the statement. Anybody who has a video of where I said this should please make it public. The point I made was when I was handing over the Lekki IPP because we had about 10 megawatts of power there.”

Solar power wind turbines are needed to boost the system . We have companies that are scared of Nigerian but would love to invest.

This power story is beginning to sound like Maikanti's delusion of NNPC having 30day fuel reserve yet no pms in the stations.

Why the disconnect between power generation -transmission and distribution by discos to our homes? ?

It has been load shedding in my area as if we now run a sweeping roaster.

you have learn to live with it the ministry is headed by grandmaster of propaganda, that was what he used to govern Lagos, thesame template he is using at the ministry of power, whether he will be able to pull wool over our entire face remains to be seen.

Certainly, you do not know the difference between power generation, transmission and distribution.
