Can't we just be truthful at once and do something diligently in this country?

Why must everything be about stealing and corruption!

They said give this thing out for free, you are selling because you want to make quick money... And we will be blaming those in government!!!


This country is something else.

There is nothing like MAP in this case, the meters are from the FG to be given to customers free of charge. But this is Nigeria, almost everyone is a crook.


If fg is sincere about their meter distribution they should distribute with another agency separate from electricity companies ones they are the ones handling it their can't be transparency...

The meters weren't given for free to the Discos, CBN financed the scheme as a loan to the Discos payable over 10 years.

MAP still technically exists because the government has not exactly terminated it.

Still, selling meters now is illegal, though this is mostly done by fraudulent employees of the Discos.

zeusdgrt here is another issue from discos
Government decided to give free meters under the NNMP project but they haven't funded it cz they have to pay the contract company for the free meter so people keep applying and the contract company will not meter unless is been paid for by the government that decided the program.Now due to ongoing cry from individuals about not getting their meters and stating that they are ready to pay for it the discos decide to give a shot at Customer to pay for meters to contract company while those who want to wait for the free meter program to be funded should wait.

Nigeria is dying because of Leadership of talk without action.
