A square peg in a round hole. Lacks the ability to inspire or convey a clear vision
What the power sector is doing is simply robbing Peter to Pay Paul, I will talk as a customer on Band A.
I have prepaid meter and when I recharge I pray and hope the electricity doesn’t finish too quickly. The don’t use Iron, hot plates, electric cooker, water heater or any appliances that consumes electricity. I sold my normal AC to buy an inverter AC and when the room is cool I switch the AC on.
The minister mentioned in another interview that there’s a gap of about 60% consumers without prepaid meters.
These are people with Hot plates, electric cookers, water heater, iron and electric appliances that consumes more electricity. At the end of the month they’re giving an estimated bill of let’s say N50,000 they can decide to pay N5,000 and carry forward the remaining balance.
They use electricity anyhow they like because they know that whether they use it well or not they will still be giving the same bill and they can decide to pay a token.
I don’t have a choice, why can’t the government provide prepaid meters for everyone and let everyone pay for what they will use, why should I be made to suffer for the inefficiency of the power sector.
The band system has nothing to do with Rich and poor because the area I live in is far from a rich peoples area.
The effect of the fuel subsidy is heating some of us, the inflation rate is high and I’m still among the just 15% Band A users again, with no increment in salary, do you want to suffocate me?
Ever since the announcement of the increase the power has become more epileptic. The capacity of the infrastructure cannot hold the load the DISCOs are subjecting it to just to keep up with their promise.
Why can’t Seun mention this name of the Nigerian professional with International repute in the power Supply to the Minister??? He should have mentioned the name
You asked people to off their freezer, but yours is always ON you guys should be leading by example… the freezer being ON does not stop constant electricity supply.. this is just the kind of statement you get when people who are not qualified gets appointed as ministers..
Oga you are something else o
You need to pay more to be able to enjoy the stability of electricity .
President should please consider Mr Bunmi Ojo as a minister of power, to remove the bureaucracy in that sector
Mr Seun, you need to beam a searchlight on the billing system in the discussion of electricity. There's a need for certainty of what is used and what is paid for. Good for consumers and investors. The estimated billing system should be abolished. Reform won't be successful without completely phasing out estimated billing.
Paying this huge amount of subsidy for electricity without any light for all Nigerians is a reflection of corruption in the power sector. This guy doesn't know what he's saying and the ministry should go ahead to fight those cabals benefitting from this sector.
It would have been better if Tinubu had come after a government that concentrates on production and reducing corruption. Tinubu is a tax collector and that's exactly what he did in Lagos and he is doing it now by strangulating and extorting Nigerians ,not minding production and exportation….. We are in real trouble.
In truth, I really didn't understand this man's long grammar. You can't provide electricity to the households, yet, you want to overcharge at the little power you could produce. It's not our fault that you guys couldn't provide power..
Kudos to the minister and current administration
Why can you people ask those criminal the money that they are stealing
He has no plan he can't even say when or how he can and to also generate power now till 2years or 3 etc
This minister has no capacity and also he ha no knowledge of what to do , for almost 1 year now what cab he say he has done ?? Increase electricity tariff foolish fool
The Minister for Power of our kind should be an electrical engineer not a Banker… we can see this minister struggling with administring the POWER SECTOR 😅😅😅
I want to advise Sheun to ask most of this ministers to sing the National anthem if dem go fit😂😂😂😂
This minister is here to lie…and he must resign 😅
Seun, thanks for the gallant investigative journalism on the Minister of Power supply.
Unfortunately,we have heard these promises over and over from the previous administration that did little or nothing to revamp the power sector.
I love those last statement, "This government will not allow distraction from corruption"
Your ministry and other government agencies are owing the DISCO billions of Naira. Please go and your ministry electricity bills.
Minister, you're not the right person to oversee the development of power in Nigeria. Nothing will be achieved.
Where is transport minister? Which one is better amongst the two of them? They’re just there for decorations! No actions at all!
According to the Hon Minister..Nigeria cannot afford to subsidize electricity for the citizenry to the tune of N3trn but can afford to build a road (Lagos – Calabar coastal road) at the cost of N15trn..
This guy doesn't have anything in his upstairs. Just talking mess.
Thanks Mr. Minister for your humility by apologizing to the affected people by your speech. For those enjoying relatively stable electricity, please pay and stop this childish argument. Abroad, utility companies review rates upward annually. You may reject but you will not have service.
How can an accountant be power minister? This appointment is fundamentally wrong.
When a politician comes to your radio or TV show and you ask them a question and the first thing they say is “thank you very much”. You know they About to Lie 🤥🫣
This government is heartless how can you increase fuel, cooking gas and electricity almost the same time . They have no conscious. Nigerian continue to suffer. 🤡
This man is saying rubbish, perhaps what do you expect from an accountant heading the power ministry? He's train to make profit from every endeavour and not to solve problems.
I totallý disagree with you on the fact that government is subsidising power. However, the increase in tariff is not the solution to raise liquidity for the gencos. All you needed to do is automate payment in the power sector even if they pay for only what they use. There is alot of leakages in d system that needs to be blocked. Introduce technology webapp system and data management to mop up the small funds from Nigerians .. u guys are simply senseless..
From every indication this govt has failed virtually in everything. Looking at the Minister of power stalling in every question thrown at him shows there's no hope of steady power in this administration. This is indeed a renewed hopeless. I weep for my beloved country!!
Most of us here in the comment section are not even on band A. Those on band A are in banana Island and areas like that. So why are we shouting
Minister of power charge your power bank and make sure you switch off your fridge and deep freezer and don’t use your air condition system to sleep 🤣
I pray Tinubu will not replace this Minister soon sha
How cone it is Ibadan that is now suffering power outage the most?
This Minister has chosen same model that Fashola used many years ago but failed woefully. It is very bad, The minister should test his power solution on a simulator and see how it fails.
❤❤
Seun, give minister Adelabu Malik's contact (one of your guests who is doing well in solar) to assist in power ministry
200% is unacceptable, unreasonable for any body to bring another hardship to Nigerians
According to the minister, as at today Thursday, 11th April, 2024 , Nigeria is generating and transmitting 4,500MW
Renewed hope agenda are now advising us to switch off our refrigerator's 😂😂 hope indeed 😢😅
Do the right in all thing in Nigerian, in order to bail for the scenario, of free, free, everything is free, why?
Minister sir, are you saying if we have 6000MW, we can successfully transmit and distribute it?
Sir, tariff change is not about what you think but about the process
All the ministers appointed by drug dealer doesn't know what job they have
This a very much failed government
