Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, through the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has reminded electricity consumers not provided with prepaid meters, to stop paying electric bills presented by Distribution Companies, DISCOs, on the basis of estimated billing methodology.
The Commission also ordered the DISCOs not to disconnect any of such customers that refuse to pay the bills, and further advised such customers to report to the Commission, if disconnected.
NERC gave the directive on Wednesday, in a statement on its website, and said it was part of its sanctioning of defaulting DISCOs, who failed to provide meters for its customers, before the March 1 deadline.
In line with its mandate of protecting the rights of customers, NERC had in June 2016, after consultation with the operators, directed DISCOs to conclude metering of all customers before November 30, 2016.
According to NERC, the Commission at the expiration of that notice, granted three months moratorium, which expired on March 1, to enable the DISCOs effectively execute the metering deployment plan for MD customers.
According to the statement, the sanction was sequel to the expiration of the initial directives by NERC, and the moratorium period given to

Osinbajo, ma real nigga from day one.

The guy is more competent than his master.

Welcome comment from an active president, though they always act like they have the interest of the masses at heart until they grab power.

I won't applaud osinbajo until he's the president.

Nationwide jubilation as Osibanjo speaks the mind of an average Nigerian


It has nothing to do with Humbling or beefing Fashola



He's (Fashola) the minister of Power , he does not own discos , Last i checked Jonathan sold NEPA to family and friends


But yes, Osinbanjo spoke like a true Nigerian , Discos have been scamming us more than NEPA


If it helps , Jonathan and friends also promised to give us( every household) free Energy saving bulbs , My uncle used to work for National Orientation Agency , that's all he talked about before he retired , up till now i have not seen any free energy bulb , the energy bulbs i've been seeing is only from Ndubuisi's shop , and that one kaputs in 30 days

Na today?
No pay your bill and watch your light disconnected right in your face

I just de laff, mek Dullardo come back first we go know

Another Buhari approach. When they refuse to give those with and without prepaid light u go beg. Na so buhari dry force people wey he no give dollar to sell fuel 96.

Find out what the issue is before giving such order. You have such authority and u did not arrest those giving quit notice.

This one na gra gra.

Nigeria would be a lot better with Osinbajo at the top. Buhari is not fit to manage a secondary school in Nigeria.

wetin this one dey smoke?

The Estimated Billing System is a fraud. But i don't think Fashola is responsible. The Discos are actually robbing the citizens without proper power supply.

lol. do you mean he can not be secondary head master

i have come to laugh as usual. This comments funny die. Hehdhehehehehehe

estimated billing is what is creating this laziness, I don't care attitudes and no electricity.

if u don't use don't pay as simple as ABC

The title of the thread is misleading. However it's a good measure because those Discos are baraus. Useless thieves!

And how did he humble Fashola?
After ipob failed in their quest for Biafra the next step is sowing seed of discord.
Shame.
NB: Nice one from Prof Osinbajo.

Igbos are shameless.

So how did he humble Fashola


Anyway thank the gods he commonised the gesture, because the last article I read on this issue made it sound like the measure was obtainable for large-consumers alone.


God punish NEPA.

Igbos are shameless.

How does this asinine comment relate to this thread now

See the way the blog twist the story

I only need the YouTube to make trouble.

This is only for MD customers, not everyone.

@OP, thank you for misinforming the forum, I wonder what some of us gain by disseminating fake news.

Its not for residential consumers, But for MD customers alone!

Laziness and illiteracy is killing dz country.

Some mumu Igbos will still come here and condemn dz.

Simple instruction: do not pay and if any disco disconnect your power, report them to NERC.
Simple as dat... I wonder wat will satisfy dz people

Action President that has the interest of our people in mind.

u mentioned the name Jonathan twice in your write up and i am still trying to figure out the correlation btw "Jonathan" and the Op or are you trying to say that just as jonathan promised and fail, so will be osibanjo? cos i was tinking dt d essence of ur comment was to correct the false impression being made by the headline, so wetin concern oga Jona here?

Buhari please don't come back.

You just gotta love Osibanjo. He is smart and has a good heart. Not distracted by silly politics.

Fashola, do your bleeping job!
