The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , has given the nod to a German firm, Siemens AG, to begin the concessionary funding and provision of technical support to the country’s power sector.

According to the official twitter handle of the Presidency, @NGRPresident, Buhari had already directed the Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, the Ministry of Power and the Bureau of Public Enterprises “to conclude the engagement with Siemens AG to commence the pre-engineering and concessionary financing aspects of the Presidential Power Initiative.”

“All items to be purchased were provided by the distribution companies and Transmission Company of Nigeria and they will be vetted by a professional project management office,” the Presidency stated. The Presidency added, “All Discos have, directly, and through the BPE, been diligently carried along over the last 15 months to understand in detail the challenges in the electricity system.

“Under the PPI, Nigerian government will on behalf of the other shareholders in the Discos invest in infrastructure upgrades in the form of improved payment systems, distribution substations, transformers, protection devices, smart meters, transmission lines, etc.

Hold on! Y’all didn’t confirm the story from the two presidential spokesperson but still went ahead with the story? Interesting 🤔

A good one. But Siemens has been in Nigeria for quite some time , yet we opted for incompetent operators.A queer leadership question.

2,726MW is what the sleeping giant of Africa can of as at today. Very poor. Meanwhile Siemens doesn't have any good track record in this field. The stats are there.

You only approve things on Twitter and Facebook but not realistic

Another audio project from an audio President.....Sinzumoney

So much infrastructure spending, so much borrowing. In the future, this government will either be hailed as being ahead of its time or criticised as the ultimate villain

Same Siemens again? Them curse una ni? Why same power Coy over many years? Why not GE or another for God sake?
