Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari, had on Wednesday announced that the Federal Government paid over N200bn for power supply in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary, Association of Power Generation Companies, Joy Ogaji, denied the report, saying that she was not aware of any N200bn payment.

She said:

Eco Bank

For the records, Gencos have not received fresh funds from anyone. What Gencos have received is payment for energy produced and consumed for 2019.

Gencos have not received any funds of any nomenclature – palliative, stimulus or coronavirus funds. We are currently being paid the money owed for 2019. We take exceptions to our name being used to score political points.”

Ogaji noted that operators of power generation companies were private businessmen with patriotic zeal.

She, however, explained that it was imperative to state that while political points were scored, Nigerians were misled and incensed against the operators, adding that Gencos had made adequate power available for all Nigerians.

Ogaji said:

Below are figures of our performance from February till date to buttress our assertion of making power available. Nigerians should ask why this power is not getting to them.

She noted that in February, available generation capacity was 9,440 megawatts, average generation was 4,629MW, while stranded generation was 4,811MW.

In March, the Gencos put available generation capacity at 8,318.07MW; average generation, 3,912.47MW, stranded generation, 4,405.61MW.

From April 1 to 14, also, available generation capacity was 8,269.31MW; average generation, 3,951.23MW and stranded generation, 4,961.96MW.

In the meantime, a source who pleaded anonymity stated that the N200bn was not paid to them for the proposed free electricity.

GTBank

It has nothing to do with the Discos and has nothing to do with the palliative that is being proposed. Let the President pass the law. I know you have not seen any law on palliatives that has been passed.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, added:

When they pass the law and the President signs it, then the content of it will tell us what the development is.
