DISCOS,TCN,NERC and GENCO are just deceiving NIGERIANS - as you can't give what you don't have.
They don't have Lights to give but Darkness, every day!
Whare did you see in any Countries ( US,Europe,etc) with Stable Lights - where you have Band A,B,C etc- Light na Lights over there!
Corruption has finished these Institutions! e g If Everybody is given Pre- Paid,do you need to have Band at all?
•All this Band A,B ,C ,D are all freak, and a way to deceive Nigerians!
•The Structure is too rigid to perform and full of Corruption!
That is why the Power Minister - fell for their gimmicks and he can't perform in this situation!

Then they should have prioritized power first and get the money the same.

Without production, that road would be useless! That is because, where there's increased commercial activity, logistics would increase, hence the roads.

The basic problem is the 1.7trillion naira or more in debt the discos owe the gas companies.

And the fact that the debt was caused by the discos not being able to charge a cost reflective tarrif.

Yes discos earned a profit, but that debt to the gas companies dwarfs the profit.

And gas man and woman have gotten tired of selling gas on credit

Anyone quoting me to abuse or troll me should answer these questions

1.Would you let government set your prices to help the poor?

2..Would you operate at a loss to help the poor?

Thank you.

Lol... Always putting the cart before the wheel!!
They don't make plans before taking decisions!!!
Now, they are struggling to satisfy 20hrs light for band A, but were quick to increase their tariffs..
So from now till they balance the aforementioned required minimum hours of light, the band a customer will be paying for high tarris abi

Very very poor management...

No private foreign investors will invest in Nigeria generation or transmission
Nigeria is not profitable for power it’s a long topic you know how many time obasanjo and Jonathan went to seek private foreign investors they back out when they did their visibility study

Power theft is too much in this country half prepaid is running on by pass

Barrack and government agencies don’t pay bills so if you buy gas as investors how will u see your money

We are used to subsidy

Faposky95:


Making excuses for them.......
How is profit dwarfed by debt in the real sense of things......
Or aren't the companies different and must come up with ways to.collect power fees....?!
You want to force it through.....

Why don't government use part of that #15 trillion they want to use and "construct" that coastal road and solve the problem once and for all?

After paying that debt, the management of the discos found culpable should be sacked!

airsaylongcome:
Rubbish scam. Band A wey no dey get 20hrs power

sonnie10:

Can you show proof that the government is still subsidizing electricity?
What other additional payment or extra charge do you expect, even after Disco declared profit?

Kamachicho:


You are lucky to get a band Z, over here we are bandless

Objectivist04:
The way our light improved in the last two days makes me to suspect that we have been added to band A and that will be very unfair because my area is occupied by common men.

Menclothing1:


The project is privately fund who told you Nigeria have 15 trillion for one road how much is total
Budget for 2024

nairalanda1:


Eh, something that has been widely reported?

There is a subsidy..that's why you aren't paying over 100 naira per kWh for power, at least for most bands.


At the end, discos, like every other business must be allowed to set their prices as they see fit. Just as the government allows you to set your prices as you see fit, instead of telling you to work at a loss.

The problem is, we have not paid the market price for power for decades. Plus people steal power too. At the end, the power companies cannot give you and me what we want.

So, cost reflective tarrif paid by everyone means 24/7 power.

Good evening. If you don't get it, you want cheap power.

Lexicon123:
The light situation has become worse since the so-called banding, the article alludes to same fact. They’re basically scraping the already nonexistent light from the other band consumers just to meet the band A quota. This has worsened the light situation especially for the other consumers. It’s imaginable that the most populous black nation cannot even boast of 5k MW. Increase capacity before coming out with this type of policy.

I knew categorizing customers based on band is an avenue to dupe customers.
