He was saying something different exactly 4 years ago. They don't have single respect for Nigerians. They keep telling us one lies after the other now that have run short of lies and excuses they are now trying to pacify in a cunny way. APC led fg should apologize to Nigerians and for all.

Lol. Reality jusd dawned on him.

But honestly, I believe this govt has done so much with power transformation.
I was in Abuja, Portharcourt and Lagos BTW July and August, I was so impressed.
The rate at which power was supplied was unprecedented.

I also believe there is sabotage somewhere along the value chain, because so much has been put into the system than we are getting out of the system.
How can our power generation be hovering BTW 2000-3000 megawatts every time.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said electricity supply in the country is improving slowly and that power problems cannot be solved by magic.

Total power generation stood at 3,729 megawatts as of 6am on Wednesday, according to latest data obtained by our correspondent from the ministry.

Transmission Substation, Lagos, commended the Transmission Company of Nigeria for the ongoing projects across the country.

“We have come to hand over this expanded transmission substation, the Ejigbo Transmission Substation, to the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company. This substation was built in 1970; the capacity was 60MVA then; except for the addition of another 60MVA, this community has grown exponentially; so they have exceeded the installed capacity here,” he stated.

The minister said President Muhammadu Buhari knew the substation required an expansion, adding that the capacity had been increased from 120MVA to 300MVA.

He stated, “Between that time and when President Buhari came three years ago, some people were there. But they will come back to you; so, when they come back, ask them if they didn’t know where to buy transformers.

“The problem of electricity is slowly being solved, one by one. Anybody will tell you he will do magic; tell him, ‘How?’ He should explain to you. We inherited 800 containers for power equipment left in the port for 10 years. President Buhari gave us approval, and we have recovered 690.”

According to Fashola, there are 90 transmission projects ongoing across the country, and some of the recovered of pieces equipment are being used for them.

“If you look at it, between 2015 and now, you ask yourself honestly: Are you spending more on diesel now or before? Are you running your generators for longer today or yesterday? So, are you seeing the power slowly staying longer? If you are truthful to yourself, you will know that it is better than yesterday. And we haven’t finished,” he said.

The Managing Director, TCN, Usman Mohammed, said the installation of the two units of 100MVA transformers at the Ejigbo Transmission Substation was funded by the World Bank through the firm’s project management unit.

He stated, “With the increase in the Ejigbo substation’s capacity, the TCN has substantially increased bulk electricity available in the substation for the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company to take to its customers. Consequently, electricity consumers in Ejigbo, Egbe, Oke-Afa, Shasha, Ikotun, Ijegun, and Idimu town will now have improved power supply from Ikeja Electric.”

“Other benefits include relieve of some overloaded feeders in Egbe, Shasha and Oke-Afa. Also, the Lagos airport will now have more load allocated to it. Improved power supply in these areas will positively impact the socio-economic development of the areas in particular and the economy at large.”

The more u continue to attack that ethnic group especially when you mention Biafra the more offended the ethnic group generate hatered for buhari. Attack him with points not with ethnicity. No matter how disconnected from the call for Biafra a neutral Igbo man is, they get offended when phrases like "jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist" are used in describing igbos. I have been told this by several Igbo Co workers.
buhariguy:
igbos are already atikulated,
Pls remove igbo and replace it with the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist
Because igbos are for buhari.
Only the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist abandon their lefelendum and started atikulating.

you are right, the past government received more without doing anything, they received $1.1tr in 16yrs without a single project.
Buhari has received $94b and everything is going well.
Meanwhile, fashola is right that is not a rocket science but slow and steady.

Fashola believed it can fixed in 6 months and you're defending him?
If it's not rocket science, then the SAN ought to have fixed it by now.

Truth be told Fashola has done so much. But Nigeria is not a country where everything will turn around just like that . It a gradual process that why am sincerely not happy with PMB, I have trust issues so once I trust u with my mandate I expect u to deliver. PMB promised heaven and Earth and he failed woefully, An giving big UPS to Oga Fash he has done so well to an extent.

He said vote the PDP out and you'll have stable electricity. He said it's not rocket science to have 24 hours power supply. He said Buhari will give Nigerians 24 hours power in 6 months. Almost 4 years after, he is still as confused as Buhari.

That's why it's not right to criticise people wrongly from the comfort of where you are because you don't know the challenges they're encountering. Look at you now,"Providing electricity is no rocket science", look at you!

Not igbos that hate buhari but the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist,
Can you see how they abandon their terrorist leader nnamdi kanu and campaigning for criminal because of the hatred for a man that love them.
