Good day my fellow nairalanders,I stay in a two bedroom blocks of flat in festac(16 flats).The flat actually belongs to my old man,for years now we have been getting ridiculous charges.NEPA officials no longer come to read the meters but give estimated bills based on factors known best to them.They have also refused to install prepaid meters in our block when neighbouring blocks were given in my area maybe because my block refused to bribe NEPA officials during installation.
The bills of my flat has been fluctuating from 15,000 to this present month of january when I saw 23,000 for what,when we only make use of a television set,freezer,fan and a pressing iron which are the only home appliances and shouldn't generate a bill of 23,000 haba.
It beats my imagination that someone in his or her right mind would feel that amount is justifiable for a two bedroom residential apartment,how much is my monthly salary that someone would have to cough out such ridiculous amount for the darkness we in everyday??
I decided to pay between 5k to 7k every month but for over two years now the back logs have accumates to over 300k.
Please we are sincerely pleading for NEPA to stop this day light robbery and install a prepaid meter or at least read the meters..

I will just advice you to go to their office and make enquiry on how to install prepaid meter in your house, I was in your shoes before not always at home yet I keep getting high bill not until I followed up and NEPA install prepaid for me. Guess what 1000 naira worth of electricity bill will take me a whole month

prepaid meter way ohh. i was getting 30k plus estimated bills here in Wuye, Abuja until last year when i paid for the 3 phase meter. Now its around 5k - 7k depending on season. just close eye pay for the meter
