AFter the removal of fuel subsidy, many businesses running on diseal generator saw their profit reduce drastically. Diseal was affordable before Fuel Subsidy. And people are wondering why jobs no dey. It is because businesses are not making money at all .Nigeria is too bless to have a high number of unemployment because Businesses are not being ed by the government. If light can be 14 hours a day in some cities or states , businesses will do well and
unemployment will go down. Money will come to the country.
I do not knoe if our leaders are afraid or short slighted or too greedy to do hydroelectric dams or other massive electricity projects because maybe those who are selling generators or inverter are threatening them.
If light does not improve , do not expect things to improve in Nigeria.

Simple and short

How many Nigerians can pay for constant light

You want to gave constant and pay 15,000 a month bill? Constant power would cost an average home 200k minimum

Tell me what exactly is lack of power preventing in Nigeria please.. I need names

I am talking about businesses not average folks.
Manufacturers can pay and operate their businesses

There is no business that wants constant light that won't get it

You guys think national grid electricity is cheaper than generator ?

Using CNG generator is way cheaper

You people don't know anything, many small businesses need constant light to function optimally, government should ensure there's constant light even its subsidises it.generator cost is not only in fuel cost,but maintenance, unreliability, efficiency cost etc.

Maturing is realizing we would never have stable electricity in Nigeria in our lifetime.

Nuclear energy should be considered.

Can you name just one industrialized country without a reliable power supply?

Guestlander:


Can you name just one industrialized country without a reliable power supply?

Lol industries provide their own power

So a laundry person which one would u choose

A gen where you can u can on one when you have work and off when you don't

And constant powet where 60% of power is used to on fan, light and others when u have no work

Whick one do you think is cheaper

babasolution:


You are lieing,constant power is not that expensive, you are lieing

Lol how much is a unit in your area

Generator isn't reliable, overuse also damages it, it breakdowns and takes days to fix with heavy cost,you now have to have several standby generators,constant power supply is way preferable

How do u think a small laundry would pay for 24 hours light?

Say they use 2kv that's 2kwh that's 200 per house thats that's 144k monthly if he works 6 days that's about 130k

And 60% would be idol use

Have you ran a business before?

Guestlander:


Where?

Everywhere

Even in USA most industry provide their own power

Not true, have you ever been to the United States? Some companies would have a backup system which they rarely use just in case.
Most companies don't primarily generate their own power in any of the developed countries that I know.

Depends on how big the company is

Steel companies, big manufacturing companies especially those who have raw materials to burn produce their own power because it's cheaper

You are a clear testament to why yoruba are so terrible in bussines. No wonder the Great Igbos have taken over bussinesses in Lagos. @mrvitalis

Your saying rubbish, at the current rate of electricity that is more reliable than generator,

Lol , that is not true at all. Most industries rely on public electricity.

24hr electricity will help a bit, but won't make a huge difference economically.

Aside from cost, if there is constant electricity but you don't have work to do with it, then it won't make a difference to you.

Where it will make a difference is in personal comfort, especially during very hot evenings.

I did the maths for you u are still arguing

If a small businesses have constant like minimum bill they would pay is 130k monthly

It's a lie,i have paid wey less than that for almost constant electricity in an area before,and it did a whole lot of good while it lasted

It will help a lot actually. With a young population, manufacturing jobs will boast up significantly. Take innosun motors for example, imagine there is constant light. Imagine how much more cars Nigeria can produce and sell to other african countries
think of welding, food perservation of perishable food. Another aspect in dialysis business , and health care, telecommunication will also improve, signal power or cell tower run on electricity. This is what Nigeria needs to break up from depending on oil 95% percent. The Saudi are doing so. Please this is beyond having a cool house running on ac or electric fan or personal comfort
