Power generation in the country has dropped to 1, 580 MW in the last three days resulting in blackout presently being experienced in some parts of the country. Senior officials at Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, attribute the decrease in power generation to a partial system collapse at the Shiroro dam in Niger state and the activities of gas pipeline vandals in the Niger Delta region.
Residents of Lagos state have also been thrown into darkness in that last 4 days following a strike action by members of staff of the Ikeja Electricity distribution company who are protesting the disengagement of 400 of their colleagues who failed a competence test carried out by their management.
Always have who to blame for their failure

ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
What is been done about the Vandals? Send military troops to such area and declare it a state of emergency.
ReplyDeleteClearly they are not for peace and want to hold the whole country to ransom. Oh God, and they say Buhari is wicked, blah blah blah
These idiots need to be dealt with!
In saner climes, this is not enough to power only oshodi regularly let alone an entire nation with over 140 million people. Smh!!! Naija!!! If Buhari doesn't do anything to punish the people who put us in this mess and improve the power sector, I'd rather not vote in 2019 than vote for him again.
ReplyDeleteThey really need to reform all these our dirty laws that provide covering for criminals.
Were they waiting for me to subscribe first, I'm finding it difficult to charge

ReplyDeleteNa wa!
ReplyDeleteNo light
No fuel

Diaris God
Who ever wrote this is a pathetic liar, the cause of the sack has nothing to do with being competent or not, haven't they been competent before now?. They are sacking 400 to reduce what they pay staffs, because the proposed increase of the tariff was reversed.
ReplyDeletePower reductn 4 ds hot lyf. God in ur hnds we commit our bodies. All will b well

May GOD help us in this country...from one issue to the other.
ReplyDeleteSo them no dey do competence test before they employ people for Nepa? Why the sudden competence test? For how long have they been employed? Then the management should be the one that is not competent. I think @NEPA has a point. We still have a long way to go. So help us God.
ReplyDeleteWhy is other countries not like dat,am tired of all dis nonsense jor
ReplyDeleteChange
ReplyDeleteWas it not this same Fashola that was jumping upandan that power generation is now over 5000MW just 3weeks ago,now it's below 2000MW,issorai,just the change we wish for
ReplyDelete@Truth or whatever u call urself,abeg shut up.sometimes people say rubbish while thinking they have spoken wisely.If fashola is proving to be incompetent as power minister then he will get some of the blame.but who appointed fashola???does fashola hold any science degree or the likes?nope.he has a law degree so why is he power minister?I'm not saying that disqualifies fashola but as fashola is proving incompetent why not put someone who actually did science in charge of it?u reason dumbly.people like u blamed jonathan for filling is cabinet with thieves now u don't wanna blame buhari for filling his cabinet with incompetent people?please go and sit down.fashola deserves to be minister but not necessarily power minister.having lived in lagos I know he will make a good housing and works minister.So if u don't blame president who will u blame.the ministers are arms of the president,he works through them,he appointed them.if the ministers fail they get the blame with the president.and u speak of bigotry when ur entire speech shows ur are one of those brain washed morons who worship buhari.keep pressuring the minister there.fashola has enough influence in apc so he aint going anywhere.criticizing him won't change much.but criticize the president and he will turn his anger on fashola who will then be driven to work harder.that's how other idiots here prefer to think Buhari knows nothing about the atrocities of the dss.keep deceiving urselves.....Linda take Note!!!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, YOU CALL THE PRESIDENT WHEN THERE IS AN INSTITUTION HEADED BY A MINISTER WHO IS SADDLED WITH D RESPONSIBILITY? THIS IS HOW INSTITUTIONS ARE WEAKENED WHILE THE MINISTERS DUCKS AND RIDES ON IN HIS CONVOY.CALLING ON BUHARI CAN ACHIEVE LITTLE,IT ONLY WORKA WHEN WE HOLD INSTITUTION S ACCOUNTABLE FIRST B4 PRESIDENT

ReplyDeleteFirstly, there is no entity called Power Holding Company of Nigeria anymore. Secondly, Ikeja Electric staff are not on strike, rather were prevented from gaining access to their facilities by the Labour Unions picketing in their different facilities. The company has put out several statements to address the issue. Please don't spread false news.
ReplyDeleteThey should sake them one of the marketers in isolo keep sleeping with people's wife's na nemesis
