Small Generator Ban: Does Buhari Hate Small Businesses? by YouthsPC0: 8:38pm On Nov 18, 2015 |
Following the decision of the Federal government Under the leadership General Muhammadu Buhari to restrict foreign exchange many entrepreneurs and small business have continued to see their profits plunge while others have simply suspended or closed business altogether. To further aggravate the woes of these small business and families across Nigeria the Buhari administration has placed a blanket ban on the sale and importation of small generators otherwise know as "I PASS MY NEIGHBOUR" http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/fg-bans-importation-of-%E2%80%98i-pass-my-neighbour%E2%80%99-generators This source of power has been the live wire of many business such as restaurants, Saloon/ barbing shops, Small offices , student hostels, corner shops and millions of families across Africa's most populous nation owing to the inability of the government to provide constant power supply to its over 170 million population. Before riding to power the ruling All progressive congress had promised to generate 5000 MW of electricity yearly which translates into 20,000 MW in 4 years however, six months into their first year In office the power situation appears to be getting worse, compounded by the scarcity of petrol used to fire up this alternative source of power. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/02/02/well-generate-20000mw-of-electricity-in-4-years-says-buhari/ The question many Nigerians are asking is why will their government choose to ban the only source of power to millions of small businesses and families when it appears clueless as to how to provide the stable electricity it promised before the elections. The clear lack of policy direction by current government and a great affinity for taking decisions before thinking has ensured that the last six months was littered with policy reversals, somersault and sea of conflicting information from Except our brothers from Aba come to our rescue by producing these generators locally these policy might signal the beginning of the end for many entrepreneurs and small businesses 56 Likes 6 Shares

that gen is a killer “The smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system. That is why they have banned it but people are still interested in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them. “If you go to the market, you still see them because people have imported them before the ban. So it is the leftover they had before the ban that they are selling because the law did not backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition. “It is prohibition by trade which means you cannot bring it in large quantity and sell to the public. That is the type of prohibition we have on this but if you buy one piece, Customs will not seize it. “We will not relent in our efforts. http://www.tribuneonlineng.com/fg-bans-importation-of-‘i-pass-my-neighbour’-generators 55 Likes 6 Shares |

This thing should be banned, infact, commercial "okadas", "keke marwa" should all be banned in Naija or at least in every major city. They are all pose major health risk - emitting poisonous substance into the air, inturn, causing all sort of health issues. Weren't we surviving before these things came on board? 14 Likes 1 Share |

I can't see the connection between this ban and a failing power sector. Buhari should avoid falling a victim of bad advises like Jonathan. Corruption is obvious and i doubt ban of alternatives can spur on the power sector back into life. OBJ did and fail in the early part of his second coming when he banned foreign goods, we still import toothpick, cotton buds, and rubber bands till this day. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
