If you scroll down you see this post; "putting the cart before the horse". i hope you've read it. Now I'll be giving you another example of how the government are "putting the cart before the horse in dealing with the epileptic power supply in Nigeria.
Forget the statistics and whatever figures they've brought to you on your TV screen, the fact is there is no light!Pres. Buhari who still has some military blood in him tried to do something drastic to the epileptic state of our electricity. He immediately stopped the importation of generator sets into the country. The question now is, will that ever make electricity constant in Nigeria?! It's quite the opposite. What happens to those living in areas that do not even have power supply at all? Ok...ok...I'm not just trying to criticize our President for the sake of it, he appointed Fashola has the Minister of Power, so let's give him "HALF" round of applause but let me ask again, will banning the importation of generator sets ever improve electricity supply in Nigeria? Noooo...
That takes us back to the cliché "putting the cart before the horse". What the FG and Fashola should do is simply to give Nigeria the damned light!!! There's already so much billions invested in that sector. Enough of the promises and the encouraging statistics. Just give us light!
The banning of the generator sets without constant electricity will only cause more problems than solutions. Smugglers will try smuggling these contraband products by hook and crook, one can't blame them though because the demand will always be high, it's the faithful custom officers I fear for, they have to put their lives on the line because they will facing some very desparate smugglers who could be armed. Worse still, even the generator sets that will eventually make it into the country will be sold at sky-rocketed prices and those who don't have power supply or can't stand their bulbs 'blinking and winking at them' will have no other choice but to buy.
Common sense should be applied here, if there was constant power supply in Nigeria, there won't be demand for generators and there would be no need for smugglers to smuggle them in. Common sense!
