Federal Government- Why There Is No Constant Power Supply In Nigeria

The Federal Government has lamented that its vast investment in the power sector is not translating into improved power supply in the country because the power distributing companies, DISCOs, have no capacity for effective distribution of electricity generated by transmission companies.
Speaking through the Head of Service of the Federation , HoS, Mrs Winifred Oyo Ita, yesterday in Calabar, Cross River State, while commissioning the 60 MVA, 132/33 Power Transformer, the government claimed the power distributing companies were rather blaming the government for the poor power supply in the country.
According to her: “There is huge investment in the power sector all over the country but so far as the Power Distribution Companies are not investing to improve their distribution capacity such that they are able to send out this power to the end users, Nigerians will not appreciate the large volume of money being invested in power generation- that is the truth.
“We are appealing to them to go back to the drawing board and find out if they don’t have the financial power or technical knowhow, let them be sincere and come out and say so and stop frustrating Nigerians and painting Federal Government in bad light.”
She said the commissioning of the power transformer was in line with the policy of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration on Incremental Power Supply through Transmission Rehabilitation and Expansion Programme to strengthen grid and infrastructure for enhanced wheeling capacity.

APC-We Are Now Very Happy With PDP

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the apology tendered by the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday for failing Nigerians for 16 years. The PDP, through its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, had apologised to Nigerians for failing them. Reacting to this, the APC, through its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the PDP had not truly repented but was only deceiving Nigerians. The APC also expressed happiness that PDP had admitted putting the country in a mess, advising them to stay out of power for a long time in order to prove to Nigerians that they had truly repented from their sins. Abdullahi said in a statement, “Our response to this (apology) is that since PDP has realised and accepted that they are sinners and that their crimes of the years brought Nigeria to this sordid state we found ourselves today, we are glad with the admittance. “It is good that they have finally accepted but now that they are willing to...
