According to reports, Waru communities of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) celebrated the successful long-term energy initiative of the Federal Ministry of Power. Locals even went to the streets with the drums to express their joy. A renewable energy initiative project of the Federal Ministry of Power is aimed at providing affordable and steady electricity to rural areas using solar power systems. Professor Chinedu Nebo, the Minister of Power, said the project ensures effective power supply to the rural communities located far from the grid adding that it embodied the success of President Goodluck Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda. According to Nebo, it would be reasonable for investors to cooperate with his ministry to extend the programme in order to deliver electricity to more Nigerians residing in the rural areas. He stressed that since electrification start last year, various types of enterprises have been spurred, including pharmacy, welding, card retailing shops and others. The official noted that it had been impossible before the project launch. Not only business sector, but also social sphere has experienced positive changes. Nebo said that local schools were sending favourable reports saying that students had improved their academic performance as a result of steady power supply. It should be recalled that in his recent London speech Nebo said it was impossible to provide uninterrupted electricity to every Nigerian in the nearest future. “Nobody in the world can provide 24/7 electricity everywhere in Nigeria.”

What does this government think Nigerians are? Fools? Even Aso Rock cannot pride to have stable power supply for three months not to talk of an ordinary rural community. Lying government without any trace of sincerity and credibility.

Try to read well before criticizing. He didn't say the whole abuja. He mentioned only WARU community. A wise person doesn't criticize without getting all the facts.
