SalamRushdie:Do you mean the policies that saw the government sell the distribution company to private individuals who are members of the government? You really need to think through what you are saying. I was part of the consulting team for NBET and I realized the problem of power in Nigeria is DISCOS just like you have said. I saw that government pay the GENCOs from the money DISCOS remit. DISCOs who sell darkness just like you have pointed out and collect the money from the people and return back complaining that people are not paying. All DISCOs remit only 30% of the power supplied to them. And government have to pay the GENCOs. Remember that the World Bank $600m is yet to be released to the Nigerian government hence they are constrained to pay the GENCOs from the money received by the DISCOs. Until the government take back the DISCOs or monitor it extensively or perhaps (according to what we recommended) make the Distribution side competitive, then Nigerians will be held to ransom by some powerful men within the system 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Slymonster:You are not in the system. It is true that Abuja have constant power as I experience it everyday but the problem of power is majorly in the distribution side which has been privatized by the last administration. The procurement of Transformer are the responsibilities of the distribution company who owns the distribution networks and takes the money and not the government. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This government is busy recording propaganda success. Please, any nairaland moderator can come to magodo ketu.... Nepa light is almost a luxury. They live on inverters, solar systems and generators. Did a job there while they celebrated 20hours of light on a certain day, recently. |

raker300:most likely is because you are cursed that is why you don't have light in your area. Enemy of progress. Only a fool will say there is no improvement in power generation in this country especially this year. My area in ibadan that don't normally have light for like good three days or more before is now enjoying at least 8- 10 hours of light everyday. Where am working in osogbo we are enjoying 18 -20 hours of light. 2 Likes 1 Share |

SalamRushdie:Everyday, the Nigerian government pay the GENCOs for the losses made by the DISCOs. We realized for instance that ABUJA Discos do remit 100% of the power given to them but when they saw that they are the only ones doing so, they started given the same excuse other DISCOs give. Enugu DISCOs, Kano DISCOs and other remit little of what they are given. Lagos is trying but they have joined others. The government need to make the distribution section very competitive. We need to join the Market Pool strategy that other world do. This single buyer method is for countries with little population. You need to know what the privatization of the distribution company has done. The Vesting Contract given to this DISCOs will see them being in charge for the next 15 years. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Still a very light weight compared to what it means to have light/power distribution in residential and commercial spaces for 24 hours everyday. No excuses, no more exhortations of below mediocre events. This nightmare joke/stupidity need to stop. Even iraq with 12-hours of electricity everyday is still ashamed that they are not conducive for real humans and business. Iran and north korea with all the sanctions are mad because like two or three of their states don't have 24 hours electricity meanwhile they have many states enjoying 24 hour electricity. It really says alot about Nigeria's resolve - not good. The only good or effect of Nigeria at home or abroad is music; and even that is shaky. Nigeria is always at the mercy of asian, arabs, and oyibos' know hows. Degrees from our universities have been exposed to be frauds and not effective, which reflects on the lecturers, the school environment and leadership, and the govt since it is a nation wide issue. On a good day, that weak very weak MW figures are enough for bayelsa alone if not more figures. |

deji17: Rubbish.. It's because of people like you that Nigeria is in this deep mess. People who can't agree that this government has done nothing, is doing nothing, and would do nothing. The progress you're talking about is unachievable with the kind of structure on ground. Nigeria can never succeed with the type of Government running it.. The earlier we tell ourselves the truth the better for we all. |

ryd3: Brother, my comment goes to you as well as @SalamRushdie and @Caseless; Indeed there is so much inadequacies, inefficiencies and improper acts in the system which the government can step in to help correct. However, we must bear in mind that our electricity sector is now 100% private sector driven and based on preset rules under the MYTO 1 & 2 agreements. The real challenge then is the original privatisation process and the rules set for the private investors and the adequacy or otherwise of the supposed Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). What milestones were set for the would be Gencos & Discos to meet after acquiring the electricity assets they bid for? Essentially, today, Nigeria's generation and distribution capacities have barely expanded more than 20% since the "successful" privatization in 2011! Where are we going to? The companies we sold our electricity assets to are all SPVs that didn't even exist as a corporate entity until the bid for our assets started! Today, our national generation capacity is 7,000MW according to president Buhari. We loose close to 2,000MW of this due to max transmission capacity of 5,000+ according to this report. And then, the discos reject above 2,000MW on the average as we have read severally which effectively means a nation of 167million people at the very least live on about 3,000MW of electricity!! To put this dilemma in proper perspective, The University of California, Berkeley campus utilize 6,000MW of electricity as far back as 2008!! 7 years ago, the BRICS countries set themselves a minimum electricity consumption density of 1MW/1,000 population which they have all done well to meet (although S/Africa and India are still a little short of the target). If we borrow the BRICS target as a means to measure Nigeria's condition, we will require 167,000MW to be were S/Africa and India are today. We have only achieved 1.7% of this as at 2017! To achieve the above stated target, we require investments of up to $65Billion over 10 to 15 years period. That is a minimum of $4.2Billion (N1.5Trillion) p.a. for 15 years! This country currently does not have that kind of money and the SPVs we sold our assets to don't have anywhere near such funds. For us to be able to raise these sums in the international market, Nigeria's political, economic and survival ratings will have to improve tremendously for the world to trust us with such long term funds. We have a looooong way to go, to be very frank!! 4 Likes 1 Share |

kjhova: Well said !! The bottom line is that most if SPVs were hurriedly put together to make quick profits and not deliver service which means they intend to sell as much darkness and reap off enough special bailouts as possible before their fragile ownership OF the discos comes to an end.. It would be hard for anyone to believe that there are firms set up up to sell darkness but the truth is Nigeria that is very well happening . |
