Bonny could ring a bell in the ears of many as the town where the
Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas(NLNG) plant is situated, but for those who
do not know, it is an island by the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and one
of the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, as well as home to
the newly a established Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas.
The most remarkable thing about this town is that there is never power failure!
Yes, you heard well; Bonny residents enjoy 24/7 electricity supply all year round!
In my two-years stay in the town so far, the total time of power outage is less than 6 hours. Such outages are usually due to routine maintenance by the BUC(Bonny Utility Company). The residents hardly know how much kerosene or cooking gas sells for because they cook with electric cookers and power availability is guaranteed for their daily cookings.
My question is: if this could work in Bonny,why can't this model be studied and replicated in other parts of Nigeria?
