From MARIAM ALESHINLOYE-AGBOOLA, Jos
Over 50 villages in Plateau State will soon begin to get stable electricity supply with the completion of the Makeri 50 mega watts substation in Jos, even as the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, assured Nigerians that as from next year the country will begin to enjoy stable electricity supply.
Addressing the National Good Governance Tour team led by the minister who visited the new substation, the Principal Manager of the Zaria Road Transmission Station, Mr. Thomas Duniya, revealed that once the two by 60 MDE substation was commissioned and other modalities completed, villages mostly located around the Jos South Local Government Area would begin to enjoy electricity supply.
He revealed that another substation of two by 40 MDA had also been completed in Pankshin, which would hook up with the Zaria substation, explaining that PHCN was waiting for the state government to hook up with the rural areas sovthat they could take more load from the newly constructed substation to supply the southern part of the state. He said the Pankshin substation would supply the southern part of the state including Shendam.
The information minister pointed out that as part of President Goodluck Jonathan’s economic recovery programme, similar substations were being put up in different parts of the country including Lafia and Zaria, while the Federal Government was also waiting for the gas power plant to be completed for the country to begin to enjoy stable electricity supply.
He said government wanted to ensure there was enough infrastructure on ground for transmission in order not to have power waste once it began full generation of electricity, assuring Nigerians that there would be no retardation in supply but improvement from now on. The minister who also led the team to Nigeria’s Technology Incubation Center in Jos urged Nigerians who went for imported products to now have preference for local products because Nigerians were producing high quality goods.
The minister who inspected leather products including shoes and bags, fabricated metal works, solid mineral processed products, certified that security agencies no longer needed to import shoes from abroad because Nigerians were producing good quality ones.
“Most of the entrepreneurs at the center who have benefitted from the ‘You Win’ programme of the Federal Ministry of Finance are presently employing at least 10 workers to carry out their manufacturing, most of which are being sold locally for now.”
Electricity is central to development.Efforts should be intensified to ensure stable electricity supply.
If there is stable electricity, criminals will not have hide out, a lot of youth will be engaged in their learned handwork, industries will grow, things will be cheaper, there will be less consumption of fuel and less subsidy, more people will be employed by industries, Agricultural products will be processed, less environmental pollution by generator, Okada riders who have learn one work or the other will engaged with their works, then our roads will be free, Local food production will increase and people will depend on local products, people will develop many items that can use electricity, people will sleep under fan and AC and brain will think positively, there will be regular public water supply, then, Nigeria will be a better place to live.

Well, we shall not be tired of hoping that one day the dark gloomy years of deception, fraud and ineptitude in the energy sector would be history. A new dawn of constant electricy portends greater opportunities to us all; but until this is provided and sustained, promises are said to be lies until they are fulfilled.
