*Approves N11.7bn, $22.8m for six new electricity projects The Federal Government has disclosed that the perennial power outage across the country is caused by continued vandalism of power infrastructure by terrorists.
“Like vandalism around oil pipelines which affect gas and once you don’t get gas to power, you don’t get the megawatts, once there is no power coming from the generators, you know what that means”. “Yes, we are facing a lot of security challenges in this country. We have challenges around our installations in Kaduna. As I’m talking to you now, we have been battling with one of our line snap towards Shiroro. We have two lines coming from there.
Speaking on one of such projects approved by FEC he explained: “There is one in Damaturu Yobe State. This one is very peculiar because as you may be aware, for over one year, Maiduguri has not been enjoying full electricity. “So, we now decided, in the main time to take electricity through the 33 KVA which they are enjoying but not as they may like it to be. It’s being rationed around the time.
“But currently, we have returned the contractor to restore the main 330 that was vandalized some time back. So, in order to have enough electricity for Damaturu and environs, from that substation Damaturu, and take some to Maiduguri, this project seeks to boost the capacity of Damaturu substation.” The Minister further said: “This seeks to raise the capacity of the supply around that area and it’s going to affect so many towns and villages. There’s a very important local government headquarters around that area. It is going to affect Hong which is a local government headquarters in Adamawa state.
This is the most thieving Government in the history of mankind. Like hypnotized people, NIGERIANS are mute while this larceny laden cabal continue to steal NIGERIA dry.
They never blame themselves. Certificate-less people.
And electricity has been privatized. Mtchew. Sha keep throwing money at white elephant project for corrupt officials to embezzle
Do we lack personnels to guard our critical infrastructures?Political appointees who are redundant in the true sense of it , outnumber our security personnels.The federal and state governments need to retruit security personnels on regular basis.
Here they go with the blame game again
The government's shortcomings are always blamed on someone or an event. Government, please try and take responsibilities for certain faults.
