Lagos State To Get 24/7 Hours Electricity Supply By 2018 – Ambode by osahonmk(m): 7:19am On Nov 20, 2017 |
The Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode as said that the state government is concluding plans with major stakeholder in the power sector which include the gencos, discos and TCN to ensure uninterrupted power supply for residents of Lagos state BY 2018 He noted that the state government had already devised strategies to short-circuit power generation, transmission and distribution to ensure there was “24/7 power supply to residents.” Ambode spoke at a recent interactive session with members of the business community and informal sector, a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Habib Haruna, said on Sunday. “Presently, we have less than 1,000MW in Lagos and the fundamental issues remain with generation, transmission and distribution. Transmission is still owned primarily by the Federal Government. But in Lagos State, we have become creative and we have done Independent Power Project through which we were able to generate 47.5MW which was distributed short-circuiting transmission. “So, if it works, does it look like a template we can now use to get power freedom or what we call power security? If we say we are the fifth largest economy in Africa and we are not in control of how power is generated in an economy that wants to move from fifth to third, then something is wrong. “So, what we are saying is, let’s find a way to short-circuit them within the ambit of the law,” the governor was quoted as saying. Ambode noted that the state government was also talking with electricity distribution companies operating in the state to supply 24/7 power to residents at a higher tariff, subject to agreement of all stakeholders, while government would be the guarantor of the people. http://www.energywatchng.com/lagos-state-get-247-hours-electricity-supply-2018-ambode/ |

The Governor is under pressure for attention. The one up there is claiming victory in sacking 20k teachers (after 2½ years of his goverment). The one down there is an artist, commissioning statues left right and centre so that when people say they are hungry and need jobs he'll just direct them to the statues. 1 Like |

The thinking is just on point. The FG is the clog in the wheel of Nigeria's progress. Bypass them and you would see success. Ambode is thinking of Lagos seperately from Nigeria and thats why you are seeing the kind of progress. If Lagos has 24 hrs power, hmmm! The kind of GDP increase the state would experience ehn!! The funniest part about this is that Ambode is actually doing his job as Lagos state governor wonderfully. But he isn't stopping there. He is actually taking on Fashola's ministerial job and doing it ten times better and proving Fashola to be a terrible failure!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

PapaBrowne: You are just being emotional and sentimental, maybe because you don't like Fashola. There is no way you can separate the successes of Ambode from that of Fashola. Infact if Fashola's performance has been terrible, Ambode would not have won. His victory was hinged on Fashola's performance. If Fashola has messed up during his stint, Ambode would also be seriously struggling and focusing on unimportant things. Fashola continued the good foundation set by Tinubu. And Ambode is picking up from there. Ambode is doing well with novel ideas and projects, but he is seriously lagging behind in the daily maintenance of Lagos. His Administration does not attend so fast to repairing bad portions of road like the Administration of Fashola. Same thing with waste disposal. Waste is now piling up in Lagos, something that never occurred during Fashola. Lastma also has sort of lost its teeth. They are not as effective as before and has grown too friendly of Danfo drivers and putting up with their irritating driving habits. All the same he is also on point, but to say he is miles ahead of Fashola is an exaggeration. |

agabusta: Fashola as minister. That's my reference. He has been an abysmal failure as minister. If Ambode is looking to supply Lagos with 24hr in 2018 (which is actually Fashola's job) and Fashola has actually reduced power supply in the country since he came in, then you know that's a testament to Fashola's inabilities. I actually like Fashola as a person. Like him when he was governor. But it's apparent now that he is all mouth. Not a single road commissioned since he became minister and yet he claims to have relieved the highest infrastructure budget allocations in Nigeria history. 2 years and I can't see anywhere where up to 100km of roads have been finished. 1 Like |

Federal government is the reason why some states are not developing at a fast pace. Lagos has the capacity and capital to provide 24/7 electricity to lagosian. But they can't achieve it because federal government is yet to deregulate power transmission in Nigeria. |

PapaBrowne:The Power minister is more of a figure head in Nigeria since generating and distribution have been sold to private companies, you can give directives as minister but the investors are concerned about their pockets so there's really little he can do to them. At least he can't fire anyone under performing CEO.... |

Ovamboland:Thats the new narrative that Fashola has been singing left right and center after saying any serious government would fix power in 6 months. My problem with Fashola is he is all mouth. It doesnt take one year to fix 100km of road when you have the biggest works budget ever running into trillions for the last 2 years. Ambode has started and finished numerous roads, bridges and other infrastructure. I travekl the highways a lot and can tell you that the roads have deteriorated terribly versus 2015 when he came in. 1 Like |
