Nigerians Generate 6,000 MegaWatts themselves, FG generates 2,866 - Oga ooo

This composition is inspired by a study released last week which revealed that about 81 per cent or 130million Nigerians, out of the about 160million Nigerians, generate their own electricity through  alternative sources to compensate for irregular power supply. The actuality was arrived at after a series of Power Sector Polls conducted by NOI Polls Limited for the second quarter of 2013.

I hope you won’t let your imagination overwork your brain by trying to count the number of Nigerians that can build and maintain a power station. No, they do not go that far. They simply get themselves the “I pass my neighbour” generating sets you know, and life goes on from there. This has led to the generation of over 6000 Mega Watts of electricity as against the meagre 2,866.4Mega Watts currently produced by the Nigerian government.

Speaking at the Nigerian Institute of Management(NIM) Inaugural lecture that held sometime in March this year, the Vice-chancellor of UniLag- Professor Rahaman Bello said, “An estimated 6,000MW is generated via individual and corporate outfits to meet their minimum demands for electricity.” Note that this 6,000MW is just for business outfits. When you add the ones Nigerians generate for their domestic use, then would you better understand which is the real government.
