It just confirms what we already know. GEJ is working for, and only for the SS/SE! I hope you people have enough votes to return him to power in 2015. Else it's curtains for the fool

I think they deserve it if they have 24/7 of power since the resource needed comes from them. Moreover, too many illiterates like mr president come here shouting like you can just wake up and buy power plants like generator.

Since the commissioning of Geregu Power Plant II, power supply in this part of Enugu has improved tremendously. Its now like 20-24hrs daily. It can only get better when private investors fully takeover the discos.

Liars liars liars. Rivers is producing more power than required courtesy of Amaechi government. Any lapses is from distribution aspect being handled by FG.

Anything to take the deserving praise away fro GEJ is welcome to most of you guys. For the sake of enlightenment, please I need information on the power plants that has been built by Amaechi, their capacity, when they were started and when they were completed?

Anyway, can we also say that Yobe, Borno and Kano State governors should take the blame for Boko Haram?

Yes Gej is working but God's sake Ameachi is the man working in Rivers State. Power generation and distribution in the state is done by the state govt.

If not for phcn and their endless wahala, Rivers state would have been enjoying 24/7 power supply since december 2012

Why are you having emotional tantrums? What has the power plant in Rivers got to do with power supply in Enugu? Nonsense!

Rivers state is not the only state that built power plants. Akwa-Ibom and Lagos also have built IPP power plants. In fact, that of Lagos was built in 2002 by Tinubu but yet it didn't guarantee steady power supply for residents of Lagos. Anambra and Ebonyi state are currently building IPP power plants.

I commend state govts that have built power plants and will encourage more states to build more and increase the national generation capacity. However, the problem with power supply in Nigeria is not just about power generation. Much BIGGER problems are transmission, INEFFICIENCY, very bad distribution networks, corruption, weak systems, lack of financial viability, etc.

The Rivers state power plant was not built in the last one month. The Lagos State power plant was built in 2002. If we'r to go by your logic, then Lagosians should have been enjoying stable power supply since 2002. So why was that not the case? Because of the BIGGER problems listed above. Even if you generate 1million megawatts, without fixing those BIGGER problems power will not reach peoples homes.

Until those BIGGER problems are solved, any form of improvement we see today is only temporary (you recall the improvement we saw during Nnaji era?). That is why I look forward to completion of the privatisation process and other reforms in the sector.

That notwithstanding, I commend Amaechi and other governors that have invested in building power plants.

The truth remains that phcn officials are the ones denying Rivers state 24/7 power supply.

Example. In Elelenwo, we were rationing light transformer by transformer which phcn blamed it on the lack of sUB-TRANSMITTING STATION. In less than 6 months a sub station was built in Radio Rivers premises in Elelenwo why was the reason residents of Elelenwo enjoyed 24/7 power supply earlier this year but go there now we hardly see light. So what excuse do they have to give us now?

Let the truth be told, the constant power supply you are enjoying has nothing to do with the FG. Amaechi on the other hand should be the one receiving the praise for So many PPP power plants projects in the state. Abia state govt as well just signed $1 billion contract for the same purpose and Lagos as well is to reach self-sufficiency by nextyear. So, not FG, it's rather the governor.

Peter Odili did same between 1999/2001. So the question now is, is FG involve in generating and distributing of power in akwa ibom and lagos; yes or no?

The problem is distribution not generation. I was told that the aba road feeder is faulty presently.
