Power Generation Drops By 1,000MW Due To Gas Pipeline Vandalism


Speaking in Abuja on Monday, the minister said the poor electricity supply across the country in the past one week was due to the 1,000MW drop in power generation.

Nebo said this during the Presidential Expert Group Meeting on Infrastructure Ranking and Scorecard Roadmap organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers.

The minister, who attributed the drop to the menace of gas pipeline vandalism said, “We want to be very sure that this is nipped in the bud with regards to gas supply and we are doing everything possible to minimise the incidences of vandalism.

“Now, look at what vandalism has cost us; nearly 1,000MW of power in the past one week on a daily basis. And this means that every Nigerian is cringing in pain because of the loss.”

Earlier, during the meeting proper, Nebo explained that two major gas plants were severely affected and this had warranted the fall in electricity generation.

Athletics - Pistorius 'will serve just 10 months of five-year sentence'


Oscar Pistorius will be in jail for just 10 months of his five-year sentence for culpable homicide.
After the proceedings one of Pistorius's legal team, Roxanne Adams, told Sky News that Pistorius will serve just a sixth of his sentence in prison, due to the terms of the law under which he was sentenced.

He will serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest, she added.
A sixth of his sentence equates to just 10 months' jail time.


After the initial widespread acclaim for the five-year sentence, with Reeva Steenkamp's family saying that "justice was done", news that the athlete will serve so little jail time after a brutal killing outraged many.
