hmmm seriously

This isn't Fashola's fault. Someone(an Ineffectual Buffon) oversaw the privatization process and has allowed the DISCOs too much power. The best Fashola can do is see to the distribution of prepaid metres. With prepaid metres the DISCOs no longer get to drop randomly inflated amounts as bills. That way their only hope of making killer profit is to provide more power.
The IB needs serious flogging for his I-don't-care attitude.

Where is NERC when the DISCOs shove huge estimated bills on the customers. Keep vibrating there until they hit u with imaginary figures.

Mine is #19000+
The wan kill us wit this over billing... Somtin need to b done abt it ooo

Mine is N15000

How will a country progress were a Lawyer(SAN) is the minister of power( electricity), we will only hear , section 243, sub-section 57, Article 34, paragraph 5 of the 1999 constitution instead of power generation has improve from 5245 megawatts to 10000 megawatts.
Nigeria and Nigerians still have a long way to go.
Govt. Should put a policy, Act or law that will enable discos companies source for power on their own instead of depending on Gencos and transmission company for power, that's when we will have improved power supply across Nigeria.

You guys need to request for a prepaid meter,it wont make sense to pay such outrageous amount now that light is zero

OP ours increased from an monthly average of seven thousand naira to about Eighteen thousand which is almost 300% increment.

My bill was 32k from my usual 6k monthly. This is the hand work of the incompetent Fashola who by now should bury his head in shame.

Pls read it. Many Nigerians do not know that they have certain rights as electricity consumers in the nation.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the body empowered to meet the yearnings of Nigerians for stable, adequate and safe electricity supply, has taken the bulll by the horn by releasing to the public, the rights of every electricity consumer.

Read the rights below:

1. All new electricity connections must be done strictly on the basis of metering before connection. That is, no new customer should be connected without meter first being installed.

2. A customer who elects to procure meter under the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI) Scheme must be metered within 60 days, after which the customer will neither be billed nor disconnected by the electricity distribution company.

3. It is the customer’s right to transparent electricity billing. Unmetered customers should be issued with electricity bills strictly based on NERC’s estimated billing methodology.

4. It is the customer’s right to be notified in writing ahead of disconnection of electricity service by the electricity distribution company serving the customer in line with NERC’s guidleines.

5. It is the customer’s right to prompt investigation of complaints arising from the customer’s electricity service disruption

6. It is not the responsibility of electricity customer or community to buy, replace or repair electricity transformers, poles and related equipment used in supply of electricity.

7. It is the customer’s right to contest any electricity bill. Any unmetered customer who is disputing his or her estimated bill has the right not to pay the disputed bill, but pay only the last undisputed bill as the contested bill go through the dispute resolution process of NERC.

8. All complaints on your electricity supply and other billing issues are to be sent to your nearest business unit of the electricity company serving your premises. If your complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, you can forward your complaint to the NERC Forum Office within the coverage area of your electricity distribution company. Customers also have the right to appeal the decision of the forum at the NERC headquarters in Abuja.

What's in his comment? That's like quoting constitution or Bible to a victim who has just been victimized and came to report to you(an authority). I am talking the harsh reality on ground and logic that will help us overcome it, not quoting rules that aren't being followed by even it maker.
So grow some IQ yourself and stop vibrating on hopeless hope.

Have you tried to complain to NERC?
Stop jumping the gun and follow the rule. Complain and let's see what they say.

Before now, they brought 18k as bill to my house. I went there ti complain and it's been reduced to 3k. Stop complaining online without going to thier office to lodge a formal complaint.

Most public officers know Nigerians don't know the law, that's why some of you will rather bribe a NEPA officer to reduce your charges than go to their office to lodge a formal complaint
