Power output hits 4,300mw 'Minister

Published by Tribune on Tue, 21 Feb 2012


The Minister of Power, Professor Barth Nnaji, has put current power supply at 4,300 megawatts (MW), representing about 40 per cent increase from 2,800MW at the commencement of the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan. Nnaji disclosed this in Lagos on Monday at the inauguration of a new gymnasium at Egbin Power Plant, Ikorodu. According to him, 'this development is a manifestation that the incumbent administration gives priority to improved power supply, especially in its drive to boost industrialisation.' The minister assured that more attention would be given to electricity supply. He further disclosed that his ministry had resolved that there would be 24-hour power supply to Lagos in order to strengthen the economic nerve of the state.'We have resolved that Lagos will be getting more power round the clock, except if there is a hitch in power supply.I think much attention should be given to power supply rather than the number of generation. This a great achievement on the part of the government. Many areas now have power supply, some have double of what they used to have,' he said. He spoke on the recently concluded biometric verification exercise in the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), noting that it was the best thing the government could do to arrest the spiraling rate of ghost workers in the company. Nnaji further spoke on the ongoing negotiation between the Federal Government and electricity workers over their severance package and expressed optimism that the meeting would produce an outcome that would be beneficial to both parties.
