The government also earmarked a separate N75.4m for maintenance and fuelling of generators in some of its foreign missions abroad.
In the second position is the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which is asking for N64.5m for maintenance, N166.6m for fuelling of the generators and N82.2m to purchase a new generator, a combined N313.4m. The Nigeria Defence Academy comes fourth with a budget of N273.7m for maintenance of generators and fuelling of the generators .
The Federal Ministry of Health and its agencies comprising 88 federal teaching hospitals, medical centres and agencies have the highest budget for generators at N1.5bn. The Federal Medical Centre, Kebbi State indicated the need for the procurement of two 500KVA generators and other items at N32m; Institute of Public Analysts of Nigeria also budgeted N3.5m for the purchase a generator for its laboratory; and the Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe allocated N50m for “generators and inverters.”
It's akin to the Nigerian Police chaining their generator that is inside the police station
Shameless goat it won't be well with them
When people holding political post are smiling, just know that this coming year budget favor them a lot.... AwonOlofoDidan. You shall all face the consequences of what you did on earth before leaving the surface of the earth... Amen.
No hope for 247 light in Nigeria. Failed promise.
😂😂are we not tired of the drama already? One week one trouble in this country!
Scammers
9bn can generate light...
Is this the change or next level they promised themselves? 🙄🙄🙄
We go get sense by force!!
Uhmmm..🤦🏾♂️
No hope of ending this dilapidated power supply.
Even baba dey fear darkness.
How did we get here?
What a country ! What brain dead bunch of leaders ! What a shame of a people ! What a shame of incompetent and unintelligent charlatans parading the corridors of powrr.!
This is people are useless, Nigeria rest in peace!!!!
Am really sorry for this unfuture country call Nigeria when the leader didn't have plan for generations to come,9billion for maintain, purchase generator,so government didn't have any knowledge anymore to give the nation electric,why budget 9billion for gen?
😂 😂 😂 Thief's
I wish our leaders could go and learn for a month from kagame the president of Rwanda just in this Africa. O mase o

I've been using my generator for 4 years now, and I run it regularly. How come these guys buy new ones every year? I don't understand these people at all.
Hopeless government fighting corruption...
Why not use HEPSU a battery powered electric generator which generates electricity without using fossil fuel to meet up with our power requirement
Where are the renewable energy companies? You need to visit these institutions, evaluate their need, engage the stakeholders and give them a solution (on grid solution would do)... If the institution budget can't foot cost, offer them yearly installment, with maintenance SLA...
Ezioku?
Hmmmmm. APC government is reminding Nigerians that steady power supply is not guaranteed. Only what to do is to make provision for alternatives due to power failures.
Na that generator go kill all of them
And they can't afford to pay proposed minimum wage oo
When will Nigeria have its personal light for Nigerians?
Shameless APC.
It is a budget proposal. It has been passed to your Representatives in the National Assembly. Tell your Representatives what to do if you do not like it and stop ranting on Social Media. All the rantings in the past have not taking us anywhere. Business of budget is not done SM
Is it these politicians don't have sense ni or they just choose to be unfortunate?🤔🤔
What a shame. Where other countries has a ban on generators. Are they planning to share the generators to each house hold?
They are not going to read 75% of the books
Big shame.
Fellow Nigerians, please banish any thoughts or expectation of having a stable and an uninterrupted power supply within the next 4yrs. If smaller African countries like Zambia, Kenya, SA, Ghana and others can boast of stable electricity, why can't we? I weep for my country!
But Generator is not part of Electricity?! Abii?! Just asking ni ooo🚴🚵💃🕴💃
Just imagine
What a country we found ourselves
Shame Catch Me NGRSenate NGRPresident HouseNGR
My country and the pain she brings me
Nigeria politicians are worst than yahoo plus. What will it take you, mr president to make this country better. You are just a liability to this nation, if for 5yrs you budgeted and spent over 00billion for yourself. Measure the value you have added, no value added-nigeria
Nigeria is 59 years old & we don't have 59 reasonable leaders that can lead us out of all our travails.
If such large sum could be budgeted for generators, how do we expect them to fix the problem of power
I go reach b4 3
Shame.
So the borders are still open to generators? It's just rice that is Buhari's problem, issorite!
We no get petrol again
Wow !!! That's what is needed to buy a mobile 25 MWs power plant. We are not yet ready for progress and development in this nation. Kobo wise, Naira foolish
taiwo_akinsoji How much do we need to fix and maintain power supply in Nigeria for God sake!
What a sick nation! !
That said amount if put into a better use in the power sector will provide more electricity than that of the generators
A whole 9billion. Joke!
What a shame. Now I know its dead end for my dear country that used to be the giant of Africa. Its now shattabandle of africa... It is finished 😢😢😥😥😭😭🤧🤧
Why not invest in renewable green energy. In this era Nigeria is not working towards reducing carbon emissions. UNclimatechange
Sad! That’s just normalization of deviations
Who we offend for this country sef.....
Someone can’t play with Nigerians
They know electricity sufficiency can never be achieved. Wtf
Carry on Mr. President our people mumu never do we all go get sense by force!
Are these ones not mad? Everything is a way to siphon money.
Ohiodongaldo 'A serious government will end power problems in 6 months' Gbatueyo Fashola, 2014
Does it mean there's no hope in view?
This is victory for DemoCrazy
FG should mandate distribution companies to give some major Govt parastatals priorities. Then the use of generators will reduce in such places. More money can then be diverted in improving power supply. Solar should also be encouraged in all MDAs
That’s a reasonable percentage of the Agriculture sector’s budget
Shame of you MBuhari 9billion will even fix the electricity of the whole country ....wicked people 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🎂
I bet most people commenting didnt read the article. I find it hard to accept too. But the nation can not run without electricity which is largely provided by generators. I agree FG should do more to make electricity constant. I suggest FG should mandate distribution companies to
A failed state.. MBuhari this govt no get shame at all..
Now it’s clear we gonna be in darkness for years lol 😂
The same govt who just talked about tackling climate change recently at the UNGA. Does he have the faintest idea of the effect of generator smoke on our environment? Well, since they don't affect cows...
Just take a look at those clapping behind him 🙆🏿♂️
🤦🏽♂️
The poor keep suffering, the get richer. May God see us through
Oh God
officialEFCC please review MONEY LAUNDERING (PROHIBITION) ACT, 2011
I tell everyone this Government don't think well & they can't lead us to our promise land... imagine figures thats suppose to be spent on improving our electricity want to be spent on purchasing generators
We are all mad here
difference between politicians and yahoo boys, is that the former has legit police protection, but they are all scammers!
There'll never b power in Nigeria! They know!! Follow suit, budget yours. But u'll b paying PHCN too.U know they'll b using ur tax, bt u
They're stupid is it what other countries are budgeting for in the present times
Very foolish decision. Are we not supposed to invest that money and get more electricity instead ? And yet those old men behind him are happy clapping and celebrating. God help us the masses in this country
Please what’s all these about? Better situation/matters that needs to be done are been left out and now u are purchasing generators I think this is the new Vision 2020..
How much is the generator? 🤣😂
Bad decision, the budgeted amount should be pumped into generating electricity by NEPA!
When they can u bellow that to set up a manufacturing generator company
10B for SouthEast Airport.. No Money
Christ why am i here?why? AnimalFarm 200MillionMumu
Not even thinking of solar
Shameless bunch. Hailers how market.
See how they are clapping for failure ...will 9b not enough to build a power station in ASO Rock
I am enjoying this next level oooo. This huge sun budgeted 4 generated etc on a year y basis will go a long way in increasing our power generation.
Lol I thought they said we should vote him in the second time to enjoy un interrupted power supply
Buhari haba this country is a joke under this man Mr integrity indeed
Nah una sabi, nonsense
No hope for Nigeria
Tutsy22 It will be interesting to see how you'd react to this.
These people have no intentions of generating steady power supply in this country
i
He no go better for this federal government I swear all of una go be unfortunate by the special grace of god,una get mind set take 9bn take dey maintain generator una be oloriburuku
Forget when this government promises to fix the Power sector. They only know how to fix their generators. I weep for Nigeria
Lolzzz why not use the 9bn to generate more electricity
Nigerian government now buys generators, what a dark future we heading.
The WAS a country. Guess FG don't know the number of areas that 9bn can power if used on solar. But wait fess, how will they be able to embezzle money if they do solar. Selfish people.
And we still expect the power sector to strive!
How would the electricity improve?
We are moving forward at very fast rate🤦. I hope that we won't crash😥? What wrong did I do to be a Nigerian😭😭😭😭?
Hahahaha..no light in aso rock
It's the usual waste that puts the nation in want and darkness!
Therefore I see no plans for stable electricity in this country!
Clueless leaders Nigeria
Nigerians are a SUBDUED People..
Can you imagine.
Haven’t this clueless government squandered everything Nigeria has yet? Our next campaign should be to stop them from mortgaging our future the more through borrowing
We can't have stable light if we keep buying more generators.
Inside life
It must be for everyone's I pass my neighbour. Nigeria is just a comedy channel
Nigeria is a JOKE😂😂😂 Thunder......
Wot is the cost of buying a new generator if maintenance cost 9Bn. Besides, that means d news abt plan improvements of power supply is as good as a nightmare, a scam....
Instead of we paying for electricity bill, dey shud just allow us use d money to maintain, service &refuel our generators too. Chikena 50/50. My neigbour kukuma don dey use deir own NEPA cable 4 hanging washed clothes.
Hopeless government can never achieve anything, backward Buhari at this 21 century talking about importation of generator, sham on you, another means of stealing public found.
That means no hope of steady power.hahahahahahaahahahha I laugh at nigeria and nigerians
Nigeria government always do drama
This is ridiculous. Nigeria has all it takes to boost the power supply in the country but still depends much on generators.
That is why they wil not provide electricity. Dongote imports generators. Nigeria is a disgrace
...because they have acknowledged that they have and will continue to fail to provide power to Nigerians. A FAILED government!
This means don’t expect any magic soon on power😫😫😫😫
If this is true then we are Progressing in Error...
Let there be light.
9bn would do a lot in our power sector,there is no difference between the previous govt and this one,it's still the same old story. it's obvious this country cannot work again,God have mercy.
It is the right time to appoint ministers of generators in the country.
Instead of standardizing our power sector 🤗
NO HOPE IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!! SHAMELESS MBuhari
They're stupid, that's way ridiculous & extortionate. 😂
So sad...soon Nepa will be knocking doors for fuel money but not electricity bill.
Ya Allah this year take away all the the generations that failed our generation
Renewal energy investment would have been a better alternative. Solar energy is way to go..
Someone is feeding fat in our darkness and we now bid goodbye to power.
Tuuuuueh tttuuueh
The common man continues to suffer the lack of electricity supply while the politicians elites and their families enjoy standby generators. One of the reasons why Biafra must be restored. It's now a life and death matter. Niggeria is a dead country. Divide Niggeria now!
they should just buy generators for the whole streets in Nigeria. This is madness! 😡😠😩
And how much was budgeted for Power?
Every year they buy Gen. that's an indication of the hopelessness ahead
And you wey dem send fuel 1000 and you buy 700 sef dey complain about how much Federal Government take wan maintain dia generator?Na thunder go faya any1 wey no dey buy fuel wey dem send am complete and complain about Federal Government generator maintenance money
No plans to get power fixed. If they tell you they planned to generate extra megawatts, that's a lie from hell
Federal government is mad....why can't they put the N9bn into electricity
If N9bn will be used to purchase and maintain generators, then I doubt if we’ll enjoy adequate power supply in the country.
It is too small oooo,dey should make it 10 billion naira.
I have a question.. Do this budget of a thing reflect in the life of an ordinary Nigeria?
LMAO🤣🤣🤣Confused human beings! 🤦🏾♂️
Have lost hope in this government. Can't FG develop a power plant that will serve the president, VP, Senate, and critical government key sectors in the capital
Don’t rush here with sensational headlines. Investigate why FG needs generators and tell us.
Sad to read this on Sunday
Crazy crazy in this country
Hahaha
Abada117 - this is Nigeria where a president will buy a generator for his office
No Vision for Light?
look at the smile in their faces. faces of looters. budget and loot!!!! N9bn to maintain and purchase generators? its actually a failed state.
Guess Naija needs more tutoring and flogging,the subtle approach not working
And we have minister of power ? 😂 😂
One day nah one day .
Forget it, light no fit stable for this country for now
OMG
Baba for life president. Keep up the good work sir
It is necessary. Atiku, whom they claimed he's the one importing Generators is winning war against a reasonable Govt who can fix power within 6 months of their administration.
That means there is no hope for steady power supplies in this administration, wow
Government tiri eti
oluwaloninyo Fashola said there is electricity in Nigeria now Negodu.... Iberiberism
That's why he didn't make his assets public, he told us he had 30 million in 2015,now he can't tell us again.
When the president allocate 9billion for maintenance of generator,the same president deceived Nigerians that electricity will be good.Shame to buhari govt
Evidence of cluelessness,,,,,
SHAMEFUL...😎😎
Obviously dey have no intention fixing the power sector
FG just improved the Aso and NA's power sector with 9bn
CixqoCixqo Err ... Mad ooo
So no plans to improve our power sector ? 🤷🏻
This is insanity of the highest order by the FG.
How do I bid for the contract?
On top the stable electricity? Baba cares too much He has light in ASO Rock but he's purchasing Gen for the masses despite the increase in Power supply.
And Nigerians are hoping for steady electricity
Nigeria is a shame to all black people in the world. Morrocco, Libia. Tunesia,Algeria and Egypt will soon have a bigger GDP than nigeria.
Later they will say they want to improve power..shio
Which ministry please and How much is allocated to the ministry?
Who we offend for this country😏
Then you think Power can ever be better?
Atleast u guys should give us the budget full details and the ministry in charge of this spending.
That is it. No hope of light anytime soon.
Buharideens will still come here to defend their god o
Will the generators power the whole country!
Hopeless country in deed
And power generation and distribution have increased/improved under their watch...
Definition of cluelessness 🤦♂️🤦♂️😭
N9bn? A country that cannot pay N30K minimum wage What a shithole darkness country.. a government that works for few not for all..🤯🤯🤯
A whole $25m how much to fix solar power?
Build and manage a wind turbine instead... Wait 1st, What are the ode at the back in the picture clapping for?
If the closure of boarders is yeilding positively in our local rice production why not ban the importation of generators to also boost electricity generation in nigeria, why only foodstuffs. PMBhutan nassnigeria ProfOsinbajo
Is this really a budget?
What do you mean generators
Not to improve the power sector? God help Nigeria. Amin
