[b]MINISTER of Power, Works and Housing Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said Nigerians should expect increase in electricity tariff in no distant time. [/b]This is as he also indicated the Ministry of Petroleum has signified their interest to build certain critical pipelines to transport gas to the power plants that will add another 2,000 mega watts to the national grid within 12-15 months.

According to him, “By far the most complex challenge is the problem of tariff. It is complex because it is more in the hands of citizens than in the hands of Government.

“The role of Government is to set the tariff and in doing so, Government has committed to what is called a Multi-Year Tariff Order. This was done in order to attract investors to the market; otherwise we will not have achieved the privatization if the price of the product is not attractive to the investors.

“The tariff is the price of producing power. It covers cost of generation, gas purchase, transportation, transformers, staff costs and so on, disaggregated and charged per kilowatt/hour to make the business of power profitable.

“What Government did was to spread it over a number of years so that the impact is not felt at once but over a periodic incremental process. I know that it has been a contentious matter, but I make this fervent appeal to consumers to give us the benefit of doubt, to forbear and accept it.

Ok, we are waiting and expecting as usual.
The government of " we will"
You guys has made the masses loose concentration on having any choice on your decisions, so we are here observing.

Second to comment.... OK... I'm commenting my comments below...

These laws are supposed to be made by the people and not the government... The impact are felt by the people and not the government...
As the prices escalates there should also be increase in the salaries of the workers to be able to meet up with whatever price they deem to slash on it..... we never finish petroleum scarcity and price hikes...

My question is .. " If the govt had said this same thing a year ago, what would have been your reaction, Fashola ..and the reactions of Lai Mohammed and El-Rufai


..What goes around ..

Why do you think you get so little light in the first place? Because it costs more to produce it than you're paying! Do you think power companies are charities?

There is going to be a steep increase in the cost of living next year o!!!

You see the mess those that voted APC put us into. I wish this happen during GEJ you will see the way Fashola will condemn it.

where is his twitter handle?

As long as the end result will be positive, no problem.

If you're complaining about false billing, that's one thing - I agree that people should only be billed for what they use - but there is just no question that current tariff rates are too low for generating companies to cover their costs. If they can't even do that, how can they raise the funds to generate more electricity?

Fashola has already said they'll be working on improved billing, so I don't really see what there is to complain about with what he's saying here. Nigerians have to get used to paying market rates for decent services, instead of expecting "government" to give them artificially cheap electricity, fuel and dollars, then acting surprised when there are shortages of all these things.

We are tired of promises, promises, promises........ When are we getting it right?... There must be something behind this multy year tariff.. Making meters compulsory by the discos in not among the contractual agreement (s) with them.,doing away with estimated and crazy bills is not part of it either..... Please dear minister come to aid of this electricity consumers these discos are milking us dry,.....unless there is something ministry of power doesn't want us to know...prepaid meters is what we want..especially here in the East... Mandate the discos to make prepaid meters accsesible to consumers in a pocket friendly manner...

ALL DISCOS......pls take note
Thanks in advance...
