Why we are still in blackout?

Yes, raising megawatts does improve electricity supply but it does not guarantee uninterrupted power supply to the common man. There are other activities that hamper the free flow of electricity supply that must be checkmated if the common man would ever enjoy uninterrupted power supply in this country.

Government needs to beam its search light on these activities and address them on time because as little as they are or may sound, they contribute a great deal in frustrating government effort in providing uninterrupted power supply to her citizenry.

Take for instance the activities of generator merchants in the country whose activities always tend towards hindering the actualization of darkness-free Nigeria. As far as they are concerned, if electricity works then they would be out of business. Therefore, not until these merchants find an alternative business that is as lucrative as generator business, they will ever remain stumbling blocks to whatever effort government making to save the country from blackout.

Other businesses that go hand-in-hand with generator business like diesel and pms dealers, generator repairers, engine oil, torchlight, candle, lantern sellers are all repulsive to darkness-free Nigeria.

Furthermore, talking about the nefarious activities of the very PHCN officials or whatever they call themselves now. They go about tampering with electricity installations such as removing cut-out fuses from transformers in order to be bribed by local consumers before they can enjoy electricity supply.

What about the activities of vandals. Unemployment has turned many of our youths into vandals. They move from places to places vandalizing electricity installations like transformers, high tension cables, electrical poles etc. Not until government addresses the issue of unemployment which would in turn solve the problem vandalism, vandals would continue sabotage government effort in ensuring uninterrupted power supply to her citizenry.
