“Please read this story to the end”
By Emmanuel Aca
Few years ago a particular man (name withheld) mobilized 15 Energy Experts and Investors from Europe to Nigeria to study the situation of Energy/
Electricity in Nigeria and probably come up with strategic steps to address those lingering challenges bedeviling the sector.
The Expert team came to Nigeria and carried out the research in Enugu and Port Harcourt where the country has abundant coal and gas- a veritable potential sources to generate electricity in commercial quantity.
After they have carried out the study including the environmental impact assessment, the Expert group came up with a blueprint to establish world-class coal powered and gas generation plants in Enugu and Port Harcourt respectively. These plants would have the capacity to supply 247 electricity to the entire 15 nations of West Africa if installed. Moreso, the Investors/Experts were very ready to invest in these projects with their own money.
As we are aware, erecting this kind of project would require an approval/license from the President of Nigeria. When the Expert team met the then president for his assent, he told them that it is not within his prerogative to give them such an approval, rather it’s the Senate of Nigeria that does so.
When the Expert team then approached the Senate for the approval, below is the TERMS and CONDITIONS given to the Expert team by the Senate of Nigeria if truly they want the project to be approved:

When the Expert team then approached the Senate for the approval, below is the TERMS and CONDITIONS given to the Expert team by the Senate of Nigeria if truly they want the project to be approved:
a) That the proposed project sites should be removed from Enugu and Port Harcourt, and MUST be sited in 5 NORTHERN states given to them by the Senate. Meanwhile, these northern states have nothing to do with coal, oil or gas.
b) That FG will build railway lines from Enugu to these 5 NORTHERN states to transport the mined coals from Enugu to these selected 5 northern states for processing.
c) That until the above TERMS and CONDITIONS are agreed upon before they will give their approval to the projects.
****What do you expect the Expert team to do? Of course, RUN for their lives from the wicked contraption!
****Next time you complain about how NEPA and FG are rewarding you with concocted and unbelievable NEPA bills by extorting from citizens upon the imposed DARKNESS they called LIGHT, you now know the sources of your problem.
****This country called Nigeria is an international FRAUD!
