The Senate has just approved a $500 million loan request by the Federal Government.

The money will be used by the Bureau of Public Enterprises for “metering Nigerians” for the supply of electricity to their homes.

According to the Ministry of Power, over 92 million Nigerians have yet to be metered.

$500,000,000 dollars for providing just meters to Nigerian homes, OLOSHI !

Go and mark this thread, the meters will never go round, the money used cannot exceed $1million dollars, the rest will varnish like all the money looted from Lagos and all the SW states suffering godfather looting.

Money that will end in pockets of politicians. It can never meet the purpose for which it is meant.

Do we still have to keep taking loans that will plunge the nation further down its debt abyss?

Divide this country now.

If it will indeed translate to metering Nigeria to a realizable percentage, it’s a good deal.

But if they’ll embezzle it and we start hearing another story, then it’s like moving round in circles. The government at this stage can’t afford to do any failed interventions.

These meters are not free, so why borrow money for meters that the users are buying with money?

This Senate is doing wonders.

Let's hope the government can follow through on this and not make it an audio project as usual. It will go a long way in enforcing billing integrity on discos and push discos to identify points of energy theft.

But also, tariff of other bands are likely to increase if all customers are metered.
However, the most important thing is to make electricity supply available for businesses and people.
