I’m speaking like we are familiar with
Genesis chapter one
yes verse 1 where God said let there be
light
Muhammad never happened
children who grew up in the eighties and
nights in Nigeria proper learns to see
of NEPA before they could write their
names
yes Optima was it was a national course
the only other national colors we know
which comes a distant second is when we
all shout go you know when somebody goes
cause ago the whole country goes go you
don’t have for the yes they’re open
aback naturally record every day in our
lives
simply put up never could mean anything
to anybody
it could mean that at 4 p.m. if there
was light you see of every cartoon show
you know then and it is TV stations were
state-owned and depending on your state
TV open at 4 p.m.
open a pack would mean that we’re going
to grind that happy the mommy said he
should grind with water up Napa could
also mean for those of us who grew up in
and downstate I don’t know how many of
you know what they call granny stone so
what year of Napa it means the redeemed
from granite stone yes now
the national chorus which was of Napa
defined us and as in everywhere in the
world as our population increased so did
the energy needs of the people
I take us through the journey of power
energy there are three levels or three
periods that we identify one of them
three 1900s three nineteen hundred’s
energy needs were basic it was served by
burning firewood in adult pre-colonial
era from 1912 to about 1950 our needs
were minimal
we generated about a hundred and fifty
megawatts itself the protectorates then
we had industrial estates in parts of
legals new canoe
so those hundred and fifty megawatts
could just get us by now from Co 2013
Nigeria grew from 150 megawatts to 5,000
megawatts can anybody relate to that
population growth went up by the
millions right now what became of us why
did we fail to improve power as our
population increased as was the case
with other countries I may not have all
the answers
but let me share a few thoughts let’s
just say that in 1970 an automobile
company made the car called the National
Grid yes and every five years the auto
company upgraded
the National Grid Nigeria puts the car
code National Grid in 1970 i we failed
to produce any upgrade version as the
years went by but we expected that
vehicle to give us the same performance
over time we expected the vehicle to
travel the same distance and you carry
more root over time and therefore Tioga
is for yoga it’s at best
annancy as nephron is young true or
false
so recently we ran through a process of
privatization and napa as we know it was
broken down into about 11 companies and
then there came the gas companies the
jenkins and then transmission companies
the Jackals got fear in form of gas I
mean the big janko’s aarika the ones who
use gas today they go fuel in form of
gas from the international oil companies
and that amount of power first if you
saw one of the big movies in recent
times fast and furious you see where
they have to inject nitro into this into
the KS and miss the car celery so that
gas power plant meant that we had
improved our form of power generation
from the orders of just kinda Manku now
that nitro was thrown into the same old
car of 1970 now what happened the
custard and to break down we started
hearing about Greek collapse yes when
you wake up and the whole country’s in
darkness
so this gas which enables over 60% of
our generation is valued in dollars so
even international oil company produces
gas in Nigeria to produce to feed the
gas plant which generates power for you
and I that gas is charged in dollars
does that make sense to you
the gas is produced naturally but its
charge to us in dollars so what happens
between 2015 and 2017 in 2015
the Disco’s neck and some of us agreed
to meet and agree on how we should
charge for electricity let’s call the
most heretofore the my to 2050 another
point the dollar was one night east
mayor London I was one is in there
between then and now
NOLA has more than doubled so the cost
of the mass production has doubled no
what happened
typhus did the same but not to jump it
major government charges the IOC
attained energy for every standard cubic
feet of gas that is fled the cost of
producing a unit of power in Nigeria is
it’s in their source it is cheaper to
flake us in Nigeria than to produce
power in a year it’s a natural business
model if your international oil company
what you do you throw your gas ability
there yes and where does that leave us
our tariffs don’t forget that I said
initially the cost of production has
doubled our time which is the cost that
is charged uni for power is baked by
Nigeria so that the common man uni can
in quotes a fourth power
same thing for fuel same thing for
electricity essentially policies have
never allowed energy to thrive in
Nigeria when I see this is certain
places people tell me do the capitalist
you want to rip off the poor man but
let’s look at it this way let’s go down
the next problem we want to look at is
the fact that okay let me use this
example I held this session with some
journalists do about 20 of them more
grown-up and I asked them which of you
in this room has never paid the utility
stuff to keep your wire up when you were
doing and none of them monkey two of
them put your hands up on the throw them
none of them had ever paid the bills
India home one of them was a lady she
moved from her father’s house to a
husband’s house and a husband had never
handed over the responsibility of making
payments so she had no idea of how those
negotiations happen so if it’s out of 20
people in a room full of Nigerians could
admit to bribing it’s tough to keep the
wire do the maths now according to the
Disco’s the distribution companies the
30% of the revenue annually to
electricity theft
electricity surfed these meter by bus
did hooking did stop him from your
neighbor and Alexei served in Nigeria
accounts annually for over a hundred
billion naira
in losses in one year the transformer
the fibers activi a transformer which
can feed about 200 homes or thereabout
costs about 5 million now we’re a little
over so essentially we have seen how
much of a cross we are to ourselves
according to net National Electricity
Regulatory Commission Nigeria has over 7
million alyttle of a similar but less
than each million electricity customers
Niger is 180 million people yes now
according to the 2006 census Nigeria has
26 million homes in 2006 we have 26
million homes in 2017 we have less than
its billion customers of the customers
only about 3.5 million of them are
metered and of this point five
millimeters less than 3 million really
of montly I’m also filling now the man
who distributes power has seen his cost
increase but history has not increased
at the same piece the human factor means
that the the way all the way back to the
top of the gene
cannot complete the process of morini
service from the line of pushing the bar
to the customers and the reverse motion
of the customers bringing for the
service where does that leave us in
summary policies Gary power supply in
Nigeria fails look at three key things
the business Pune who have described the
cost of providing the essential service
unfortunately the Nigerian whose minimum
which still stands at 18,000 air mass
less than $100 a month so is it more
gloom and doom force as no James I don’t
think so I think there is hope for
Nigerians if we can think through the
process we may just be able to solve it
ourselves let me share the other side of
the statistics that we face between
liquors and Colaba we have over 800
kilometres of coastline from Abuja to
the northernmost border of nature then
over 12 hours of daylight for over six
months in the air now
the Lagos to Calabar coastline which is
also the subject of the railway today
creates enough room for wind turbines
along the coast if you stand at the
beach all of that breeze that hits you
is energy that we are wasting
that energy can be converted either
through in both ways and that can feed
the creaks along the coastline the
difference between that and what we have
today let me not go there yet when you
look at what Abuja has to the nozzle
most important idea drop hours of
sunlight it is about the same amount of
average sunlight in Saudi Arabia Saudi
Arabia has launched a three point five
megawatt solar farm Saudi Arabia
produces more oil than Nigeria and the
original country the Nigeria high GDP
and they’ve migrated but we have all of
that Sun wasting can we teach our
children to recycle let me close this
major poll is over 500 million tons of
organic waste annually final dominance
of Bakken terms of organic wastes can
give us when you convert through the
process called anaerobic digestion we
can produce gas which can push out over
a hundred thousand megawatts of power
that is over 20 times what we produce
today
when are they we’re talking about smart
grids we are not talking about taking
out words from communities and offering
them cheap options if we do not take
chances with what we have with the
alternative sources we would have
created the
for ourselves through the use of fossil
fuels we cannot assess how much that
metric was myself from gas flaring the
onus lies on you Anna we either want to
change or thank you
