Its been a week since the last post and am feeling that we've been slacking from the original idea of a short post daily.
However a new month and new resolutions (plus some provocations)
First up, a friend skypes over this article from Punch
The key bits:
Residents and companies in Lagos and Abuja are soon to enjoy 16 and 24 hours power supply, according to a proposal by the Presidential Action Committee on Power.
Also to have 16-hour minimum electricity like Lagos are cities with what the committee called “stranded generation capacities.” The cities are Kano, Kaduna, Ibadan, Onitsha and Nnewi. The cities were chose because they are regional industrial and commercial hubs.
Port Harcourt, Rivers State; Aba, Abia State; Uyo, Akwa Ibom State are grouped by the committee alongside Abuja for 24-hour uninterrupted power supply
Its this kind of nonsense - both from the committee and unquestioning reporting - that gets the power sector an even worse name than it deserves.
So Port Harcourt's power supply is going to jump from its present patchy coverage to 24 uninterrupted supply soon ????
In your dreams.
----------------------
Meanwhile last week (covered both weekends) was a slightly improved effort by our shockingly low standards - 16 units of electricity. Just past 100 Naira's worth. Or over 10 days, there is 16 hours of running 1,000watts worth of stuff.
We haven't had more than 16 hours of electricity in that period so that also gives some idea of our consumption when we do get power.
Hopefully we'll be posting more regularly from here - Mrs Okada has said she'll be signing in a bit as well.
