In a move to fulfill all the promises made by the Goodluck Jonathan
administration, the Federal Government has disclosed that Nigerians
would begin to experience uninterrupted light by December, 2012 with
plans to generate 5,400 mega watts from the current 4,400 mega watts.
Speaking with newsmen weekend, the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe who noted that the president was gradually delivering on the promises which he made to Nigerians before the election, said the electoral reform, which was part of his promises was gradually becoming a part of the nation against the backdrop that the presidential election of 2011 was adjudged the best globally as well as that of Edo governorship election which was conducted recently under the watch of Jonathan’s administration.

He added that he never interfered with it and government ensured neutrality.
Okupe explained that the 5,400 mega watts target will be achieved following the arrangement by the National Integrated Power Project, NIPP, where by December, 1,000MW would be added to the current 4,400 currently available in the country, as against the little above 1,900MW before Jonathan took over.
According to him, President Jonathan inherited grounded and moribund NIPP with 10 of the projects abandoned and with the rehabilitation process and efforts made, some of the grids are adding about 600MW.
I just hope this comes to fulfillment. let's keep our fingers crossed, december is just around the corner.
