Alright so things are a bit more back to mormal.
Either the engineer at the NEPA control room has regained consciousness (see yesterday's post) or they've dragged him away and replaced him with someone "in between".
Of course there was absolutely no light last night when we hosted a visitor in from Abuja and only a couple of hours early this evening but still better than our pathetic normal "service".
Careful research suggests that our light might be borrowed from elsewhere - our regular taxi driver has been giving only one answer to the question of NEPA in his area the last few days
"Its terrible, nothing nothing......"
And the same from our other correspondent in the highly scientific survey of 2 persons
On a more definite note some kudos to the World Bank and the Federal Government for deciding that its time to put at least some real money into renewables like solar, wind, biomass etc etc.
Its $200m - thats pretty micro in comparison to the billions and billions spent on regular power but its still a really big leap in support for renewables whose previous funding was pretty tiny.
We hereby volunteer our services as a pilot for urban solar pilot projects. We promise to be good, transparent, and wise users (and to sell our NEPA meter to the highest bidder). Governor Amaechi and relevant international agencies take note.
