I'll Use Tough Approach To Overcome Power Outage, Says Fashola by Islie: 2:08pm On Jun 13, 2016

Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, in Kano said he will use tough approach to overcome the lingering power outage affecting the country.

Speaking while launching the mass meter deployment of Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO), Fashola said Nigeria would soon address the problems of power outage.

"We are in tough situation in the power sector, but we will soon see the end of it because we are also tough people. We must work hard to end the problems associated with electricity," he said.

The minister, however, called on the electricity companies to patronise locally made meters.

"I have visited a meter manufacturing company in Lagos recently and the types of meters that I saw there were the same meters our electricity distribution companies are importing. So business wise, it would be good for the country if we can patronise our local goods," he said.

He explained that going by the current fluctuation of foriegn exchange patronising our local goods will boost our economy.

He pointed out that the instalation of the new meters will cost KEDCO N500m, saying the commitment shown by KEDCO would pave way for other distribution coys to also follow suit.

He said while the Abuja electricity distribution company indicated its plan for mass meter deployment, KEDCO has done it practically.

Earlier, the Managing Director of KEDCO, Alhaji Jamilu Gwamna, said the company ordered for 100,000 pieces of pre-paid meters for onward distribution to customers in Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states.

Gwamna explained that so far the company has received 63,000 meters, while the balance would be ready before end of this year.

"Our plan is to make KEDCO the best valuable electricity company in Nigeria by 2030. We want deliver best services to our customers," he said.

Amazing decision cheesy

Re: I'll Use Tough Approach To Overcome Power Outage, Says Fashola by Nobody: 4:14pm On Jun 13, 2016

I see Nigerians making fun of Fashola.

You know what.....it is not Fashola's fault that we do not have light.

It is our fault. (And it is not GEJ or even Buhari's fault too....just in case.).

Nigerians....do not pay their bills, do illegal connection, vandalise electrical equipment anyhow, turn contracts for power into open bazzar for everyone to come and eat, bypass the new E-meters (yes)....and even come and beat up DISCO officials who come to enforce colelction of bills.

Abi.......where do you expect the DISCOS and GENCOS to get money to function.....when you people are cheating them of the money?

If you want light......24/7.....we must pay our bills. So that the DISCOS and GENCOS have enough cash to pay for improvements. Because that is the new music.....privatization....that we have been singing since 2014....long before Fashola came around.....(and which was the right thing to do by the way).

After all...over ten years ago....you Nigerians were paying N5000 and above for SIM card. You complained....but did they not use the money to improve their facilties? And once the improvements took effect....did we not see price reduction.? If you want our power to be 24/7...let us suffer high bills....so that we can have some improvements. We need to get up to 20000mw. We need to improve our transmission facilites. And the Government has hands off power...and banks do not have the money to dash DISCOS. So....it is coming from our pockets.

Sorry Nigerians....perhaps we should have stopped GEJ from doing them DISCO and GENCO thing. But we kept quiet. Even then....where is govt going to find 1billion USD yearly....if not more...to improve things?

If it's a develop country by now as a minister he would have resign since to avoid his image been tarnished but only in Nigeria you see a minster not being able to achieve what he is appointed to do and he will continue to attend functions and there ranting how he will do that n this without doing norin

APC had lost the momentum. Little over a year ago, all you see is praise and worship to change agent but now all they got is scorn. Easy to criticize and cast aspersions to people in Government but the reality dawn on them when they realize fixing Naija is no joke. Let the promise continues
