See statement from the Senate below;
“Today,
the 8th Senate directed the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
(NERC) to immediately suspend the February 1st, 2016 tariff hikes, which
are estimated to be upwards of 40 per cent…
This
move is necessary because any increase in cost, without the necessary
improvement in service delivery by the power companies is unacceptable.
Furthermore,
the power distribution companies must work to ensure that every
establishment in Nigeria is provided with capabilities for metered
billing. Doing this would end the sharp practice of arbitrary billing,
which estimates the power consumption of Nigerians in the generation of
their monthly bills.”
