GOOD NEWS: Nigerians Will Enjoy Electricity As From This Moment- Lai Muhammed

“Following an agreement with German
company Siemens in July 2019 to boost
power supply in Nigeria, the stage is set for
the perennial power problem to become a
thing of the past.

“Under the three-phase agreement,
Nigerians will enjoy 7,000 megawatts of
reliable power supply by the end of 2021
(phase 1), 11,000 megawatts by the end of
2023 (phase 2) and 25,000 megawatts in
the third phase.

“To put things in perspective, Nigeria’s
current power generation capacity is more
than 13,000 megawatts, but only an average of 3,400 megawatts reliably reach
consumers. In essence, the current amount of power that reaches consumers will more than double by the end of next year.

“In addition, this will create thousands of
jobs and will leapfrog the country into the
next level of industrial and social
development.”
