Govt plans to phase out power generators


The Federal Government said there are plans to boost power generation and phase out the use of power generators in individual homes and offices.

This is as the government concluded plans to unveil the Integrated Resource Plan for the power sector.

The Special Adviser to the Minister of Power on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, told our correspondent that the resource plan is to ensure Nigerians “stop using generators.”

According to him, the Integrated Resource Plan will be unveiled on Thursday (today) in Abuja with the of the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office and the UK Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility.

The event, which he said will highlight critical milestones in Nigeria’s electricity reform and transformation journey, will include the presentation of a comprehensive policy designed to guide Nigeria’s power sector towards universal electrification, inclusivity, and sustainability.

Tunji stated the IRP is a strategic roap to ensure least-cost electrification and alignment with Nigeria’s energy transition goals, saying it will also “phase out self-generation practices.”

He added that the unveiling will also witness a stakeholder engagement session with the private sector to explore investment opportunities and foster collaborations for private sector participation in the National Integrated Electricity Policy/Strategic Implementation Plan and IRP implementation process.


The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, will deliver the keynote address on Strategic Vision for Nigeria’s Energy Future at the event, which will be attended by of the inter-ministerial working group.

The PUNCH reports that Nigeria is still battling low power supply as the country’s 200 million population still struggles with a paltry 5.5 megawatts of electricity.

Amid incessant grid collapses, over 250 companies and institutions have abandoned the national grid to generate their own electricity.

Efforts made in 2024 to ramp up power generation to 6,000 MW failed as vandals attacked critical power infrastructure across the nation.

Funny people

Adebayo Adelabu is obviously the worst Minister of Power Nigeria has ever had. His only achievement so far in the power sector is the incessant grid collapses the country is always witnessing.

Jokers. Criminals in POWER

Another unfolding comical bad idea

On top this epileptic power supply and lack of quality equipments ?

This is impressive if implemented rightly

Then transfer power to reguonal office and then to states

You allow or sponsor vandals to vandalize installation in your region, you and your people will enjoy the darkness.

Nigerian gencos generate less than 6,000megawatts of power while Nigerians and their businesses generate more than twice of what the gencos are generating through generators . Nigerians don't need the govt to tell them to stop using generators, nobody likes generators, they will stop on their own when they have steady power supply from the govt

Generator Republic.
But that day will come and it does not seems too far off , when such "prophesies" like this will be actualized. It is doable, it is achievable and there are pointers already.

Tinubu govt have decided to forget about governance and face make beleive

Government that couldn't put an end to epileptic grid that collapses every now and then

Please do..

Nigeria will be great again. Nobody can deny the fact that Tinubu's government is hyper active but their actions are yet to yield positive results.

Ok

Was about to say that. Some people are just repellent losers and sadists. Electricity, under Adelabu is best it has ever been in my living memory. Grid collapse did not begin today and will not stop tomorrow because it is caused by archaic power infrastructure that has been neglected by successive governments for decades now.

What gets to me, per the evil Nigerians we are living with, is how some mention grid collapse but are totally incapable of being honest to it power supply has improved substantiallly.

They will then blatantly lie to call Adelabu, who has produced the highest electricity output of all power ministers for a long time, the "worst power minister" when, per output, he is best by far since 1999.
