Great news

Clinton9000:
This is pure Biiafran technology at work not whites or asians helping us.

Afonjas...oya come and hate since that's what you were born to do.

AKswift:


What a great move, Nnaji

We wont honor your invite to rubbish the good work of this man. But I will leave you with this: an Afonja made sure he got the licence to set-up that plant. You can find him in Ota, Ogun State.

comos:
After about three years after completion of the Geometric Power Ltd, Aba, Abia State, one of the Independent Power Plants (IPP) licensed by the Nigerian Government, the Plant is set to switch on around April next year, according to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and former Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji.

Bogged down by contractual and other ancillary controversies, the Plant has been held down from switching on since completion. But Nnaji at the weekend revealed that all the issues have been resolved and the plant set for switching on in six months’ time. ...

Sibrah:
I suspect someone is trying to backdate the plant's completion date in order to score some cheap points.
Why didn't we hear about it all this while?

Clinton9000:


Obasanjo is not an afonja...he is a yoruba man. Both are two different things. Fani Kayode, Fayose, Judge Ademola are Yorubas not afonjas.

AZeD1:

The plant has been completed since but legal issues prevented it from operating.

Good work Fashola.

Good work Fashola.

How come it wasn't discussed or carried in media? I remain vigilante.

CSTR13:
You must be high.
What has fashola got to do with a company investment that predates his govt.?
Let him go and add 1MW to Nigeria's current generating capacity and then maybe you can worship the clueless man then.

AZeD1:

The issue between Barth Nnaji and the owner of EEDC was settled by Fashola.

MXrep:

did you fall from Jupiter? Geometric was completed 3 years ago. It was to supply directly to Aba, but after the privatization of Discos, Emeka Offor bought Enugu Disco which included Aba, thereby causing legal tussle. If fashola's settlement of the matter is for Geometric to supply to national grid then he did nothing but begging for help from Geometric, but if it is for direct supply to Aba then i will praise fashola forever.
It is this same confusion from Abuja that made Obijackson to put his proposed power plant at Okija on hold, he would have finished to capture Onitsha/Nnewi industrial zones.

CSTR13:
And so?
Legal Issues can always be resolved in court, as long as Geometric power is on the side of the law they SHOULD win.
The real heavy duty here is the creation of the infrastructure and funding .Legal issues can always be resolved
Yes, fashola did well here but sorry if i don't clap too much, with some airheads already trying to count it as one of his legacy projects as an act of desperation when the man has not even added a single MW yet.
South africa's Power ministry along with Eskom has already started large scale investment in Nuclear generation despite the already enormous nuclear electricity generation south africa currently commands . That is what i expect from my power minister.

Sibrah:
I already read it up. The issue here is same thing that has discouraged other states like Delta, Rivers, and Lagos. To transmit to a wide range of locations the IPP needs the expensive infrastructure of Transmission Line Network. The less forward thinking regions are the ones holding us back here. Time will fail me to go back and dig deep into my own posts and provide you with my own take on this similar issue.

dEastActivist:


I have done my own part in enlightening you.

I have nothing else to contribute than being happy for the Abians and the environs, they need it for their business to flourish.

Sibrah:
I don't think you capable of enlightening me. I am well aware of the Rivers, Delta, and Lagos challenges that predates the Nnaji challenge. I bet you don't understand the deep details being paraded here.

Abagworo:
So finally the jealous Anambra man has given up. Congrats to the largest commercial and industrial city in the Southeast with the best teaching hospital.

Anambra people are happy for our brothers in abia state.
We are also grateful for the timing intervention of fashola and please stop making it seem is a fight bw abia and Anambra as nothing is wrong with your IQ.

I reiterate here that A good development in abia state is a a gooddevelopment to Anambra and vice versa and to Nigeria in general.
