No Country Enjoys 24hrs Electricity Better Than Nigerians Since Buhari Took Over – Fashola


The Minister of Power, Babatunde Fashola, has revealed that Nigerians now get more volumes of electricity supplied to their homes and offices, insisting that at the moment, most commercial and residential consumers of electricity have packed up their alternative power supply sources for grid electricity, which he claimed has improved tremendously.


According to source, speaking during the August 2018 edition of the monthly power sector operators meeting in Umuahia, Abia State, the minister claimed Nigerians now spend less money to procure alternative power.

“We are on a journey to a destination of promise and eventual prosperity and I use this occasion to salute the efforts and contributions of all those who have brought us this far.

Even if those who were most vocal in condemnation when the situation appeared very dire are now uttering some muted acknowledgment that it has improved.
No Country Enjoy 24hrs Electricity Better Than Nigerians Since Buhari Took Over.

We must continue to draw inspiration from well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians who were gracious enough to publicly acknowledge that: they are saving some money from diesel they used to spend for generators.

They are running their generators for fewer hours; and they are getting comparably more power than before. It is because of those gracious and well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians that we must dig deeper, work harder and be more determined to improve service delivery,” he said.

Lawyer sues FG over Killing of Jos Lion

An Enugu-based legal practitioner, M. Chukwunonso Ogbe, has dragged the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Pla­teau State Government to court over the killing of a lion late last year. The lion was shot dead on December 2, 2015 af­ter it escaped from the Jos Wildlife Park apparently to prevent the animal from killing people. In the case filed on Oc­tober 18, 2016 at the Fed­eral High Court Enugu as the case of Mr Chuk­wunonso Daniel  Ogbe vs the Attorney-General of the Federation & others, with suit No FHC/EN/CS/122/2016, the lawyer is  praying the court to declare that the failure of the respondents to pro­vide dart-tranquilizers for the use of the officials of the park in capturing animal was what neces­sitated the use of live bul­lets.
