FG apologises to Nigerians over the poor power supply nationwide

The federal government has apologised to Nigerians for the recent drop in power supply Nationwide. In a statement issued in Abuja by Segun Adeyemi, special adviser to the Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, the Federal government ‎blamed gas pipeline vandalism and sabotage on the poor power situation.
“The vandalisation of the Forcados export pipelines forced oil companies to shut down, making it impossible for them to produce gas.
Then, workers at the Ikeja DISCOS, who were protesting the disengagement of some of their colleagues after they failed the company’s competency test, apparently colluded with the National Transmission Station in Osogbo to shut down transmission. Finally, the unfortunate strike by the unions at the NNPC, over the restructuring of the corporation, shut down the Itarogun power station, the biggest in the country. Due to these factors, only 13 out of the 24 power stations in the country are currently functioning. It is this same kind of unsavoury situation that has affected fuel supply and subjected Nigerians to untold hardship. The bitter truth is that for as long as these groups of Nigerians continue to sabotage the power infrastructure, Nigerians cannot enjoy a decent level of power supply. We therefore admonish all Nigerians who may be agitating for their rights in whatever form to refrain from any action that will further hurt the same people they claim to be protecting,” he said.‎
The statement adds that the power situation will improve this week.
"There will be a decent improvement in the power situation from this weekend, thanks to ongoing remedial efforts that will double the current power supply to 4,000WM. Getting back to the 5,074MW all-time high that was reached earlier will take a few more weeks".

Which is 'who are these Nigerians destroying our national assets Nigerians are Nigerja9-

Even if it's all lie, apology accepted. But I bet my certificate that we aren't gonna see meaningful changes especially with former governor Fashola as minister he is a no no! A camouflage!! He was overrated and I hope he will resign early enough; it's a ministry for technocrat not Politicians like him.

True

Emeka4life said...

Why does the FG have to keep a hold on everything (Police, Power and others)?
Why can't the FG allow each state to generate their own electricity?
Things would never get better until the FG let go of this hold on everything.

House of empty promises is what APC abi phensic be. A government that has no direction and whose leader sees nothing wrong with traveling every month. Blaming power to forcados what is the condensate volume that passes through forcados and associated gas production.

Unknown said...

But consumers will still have to pay even for the power that wasn't supplied. Better tell PHCN not to come with any bill this time around bcos we don dey vex already.

Apology is not enough. Federal government has to act fast and remedy this problem. The heat is terrible and there is no electricity to power our AC's and fans. And to worsen it one can't even get fuel to buy to power our generators.

This govt is such a disappointment
They'll even ruin the few advances made by their predecessor

You are very correct. Jonathan's administration never apologised

@OSINANL you are wrong. Those that will suffer are those supporting PDP looters and thieves. If Jonathan's administration didnt loot money, Nigeria would have had money to repair the refineries and we wont have power, fuel or water problem today.
