The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) says it has not issued any directive on the increase of electricity tariff from January 1, 2023.

Media reports had claimed that the commission finalised plans to increase the electricity tariff.

The reports also noted that electricity distribution companies (DisCos) would soon inform customers about the development.

Refuting the claims, Usman Abba Arabi, NERC’s spokesperson, told TheCable that the commission has not approved a new electricity tariff.

The Commission (NERC) has not approved any new electricity tariffs for any of the electricity distribution companies within the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry,” he said.

“No new electricity tariff has been approved. Nigerians should ignore any news reports about new electricity tariff coming up on the 1st January 2024.”


In June 2023, the federal government had hinted at removing the N50 billion monthly electricity subsidy in the sector owing to the revenue shortfalls.

However, in November 2023, Adebayo Adelabu, minister of power, said President Bola Tinubu stopped the increase in electricity tariff, insisting on the payment of subsidy on power consumed in the country.

In its third-quarter (Q3) report, NERC had said the government incurred a subsidy obligation of N204.59 billion during the period.

The report noted that the subsidy expenses were incurred due to the lack of cost-reflective tariffs across all DisCos.

I hope it remains this way but this is how fuel subsidy removal was rumoured and discarded till it became reality. Nigerians are really facing difficult times (shege promax) from this current administration.

Other countries' citizens especially outside Africa can testify of government benefits in form of cash and goods but the case is opposite in Nigeria as the government is feeding fat from people's sweat.

Yoruba people believing tinubu have anything to offer can you people tell us what he has sacrificed on his part to show commitment

Is it not this extravagant govt that have been budgeting billions for residence renovation, traveling etc

On his first inauguration he announced fuel extra cost, we never see dividend now power extra cost

At anytime nigerians want to enter new era of hope these pharaohs would double the pain yet yoruba people would say be optimistic

________________________
1. *ON EARNING* :
Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second chance.
_________________________
*2. ON SPENDING* :
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
________________________
3. *ON SAVINGS:*
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.

4. *ON TAKING RISK:*
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.
__*______________________
5. *ON INVESTMENT* :*
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
________________________
6. *ON EXPECTATIONS:*
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.
________________________
7. Past is a waste paper, present is a newspaper, and future is a question paper. Come out of your past, control the present, and secure the future.
________________________
8. When bad things happen in your life, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
_______________________
9. Our eyes are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look backwards.
_______________________
10. We use pencil when we were young, but now we use pens. Do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can easily be erased, unlike now.

*Wishing you a prosperous 2024.*

Story story story.

I recharged a prepaid meter of one of our tenants last week with 3,400 naira and was given 38.5 units. That's 88 naira per unit, unlike the previous recharge before the last one where I was charged 70 something per unit. My disco is Aba power.

We are okay in Ghana. It's Nigerians that are suffering. No wonder they smuggle themselves to come sell phone covers in Ghana.
