At this point in time only paid agents can still defend this government of illegality. BUHARI AND HIS COHORTS ARE NOTHING BUT AGENTS OF DARKNESS.

Feb bill
This bill is for energy used in January 2016
Tariff Rate: 15.63
Consumption: 276KWH (we had only like 6hrs days of January that's all)
Fixed charge: N750
Vat: N253.19


March Bill
This bill if for energy used in February 2016.
No light we don't know why till we heard that it's national strike

Tariff Rate: 24.00 (Fashola will say he doesn't have any idea of it )
Fixed charge: none
Consumption: 269KWH (Fashola will say he cannot make a move to enforce these guys to give us prepaid meter to stop all these paying for darkness, no light from mid Jan to march)

In nigeria Govt don't help but keep killing the masses, imagine increasing the tariff and vat
Your salary is not increasing and they are not providing jobs or better economy

Black man can not rule himself. This has been said for over a century but we shout the sayers down as racists. We've run away to live in their countries and to be ruled by them and it's going on well for those privileged few. For the rest left back in Nigeria, it's quite clear what I'm talking about, though we might still have the deluded pride to reject it

Pure scam! At festac here, under eko distribution company(ekedc) we aare charged about 22naira/kilowatt yet Fixed charge of #750 still exist......I was at anambra 2wks ago, and their own charge is 27naira/kilowatt with fixed charge included.
Fashola said a new tariff but without a fixed charge yet he hasn't stuck to his word.
I'm compelled to believe that the south east is paying more for electricity than south west but make I dey observe sha.

what do u know about Electricity Tariff ? ask a power system Engineer to analyze the whole system for you. you will realize there's a need for you to pay more. you people pay to the distribution and generation company leaving the transmission company. In other to stop that, electricity Tariff has to be increased so as to compensate the transmission company. you must also pay for the power loss during transmission not just the power you consume at your different houses( not pay as you consume but pay as they generate ). I hope you understand what i said.
thanks

Fashola is a con artist ..that is how he set up toll gates on Lekki Epe and till date didn't complete the roads and now again he has increased tariffs and electricity has reduced further

The guy is just an over rated eediot. His next plan is to build toll gates across all the federal highways even though he has done nothing to improve them significantly. How can you increase electricity tariff at same time reduce the Megawatts supplied. This is Criminal.

Formely on the Phcn bill is a tariff of
15.63 naira/kilowatt. Now Its 22naira
kilowatt on the new bill. About 50% Increase!
****************************************
E.g Mr Chuks consumes 300kw of power in january
Phcn charges him 15.63/kwh
His Bill = 300 * 15.63 = 4689 (Vat & fixed charge not inclusive)
***************************************
Due to Increase in Tariff, Mr Chuks decides to
reduce his consumption from 300kw to 250kw in February
Phcn charges him a new tarriff of 22kw/h
His Bill = 250 * 22 = 5500(Vat & fixed charge not inclusive)
**************************************
CONCLUSION: Despite the fact Mr chuks
REDUCED his monthly CONSUMPTION to reduce expenses & Improve his standard of living, the FG has already CONDEMNED him to HARDSHIP with the Massive Tarrif! #God help Naija!!!

When I read sentimental comments on this forum I laugh. Some posters because of ethnicity or political affiliation of which they never benefited immensely from have been be clouded from facing reality. We all know that the Nigerian situation would have been worse if the previous govt is still ruling because blackout is synonymous with them.

It a case of Hen and Egg... Which comes first...

Do you improve power supply then increase tariff... Sounds logical

Or

Do you need to improve power supply from the increased tariff... Since power projects are quite expensive and you need massive capital injection.
pls stop reasoning from the anus.
The Discos are corporate entity... what they are doing is collecting money from customers to fund their capital investment. that's is fraud. charges to customer are to cover operational cost and then profit. Capital investment should be throu equity funding, loans, debentures etc.
So your second option makes no sense. You have to provide the service and base on quality , you increase your tariff. It is only absurd that you think customers should pay for you to get money to invest in your own business. it is only happening because we are corrupt and indolent nation
Do u know how many people will say for services not rendered through so called estimated billing ? that is fraud

Spot on, they can never acknowledge any good thing. There are people in this same Nigeria that spend 25k for petrol for generator to power their houses monthly right there in Lagos.

Thanks bros for this comment. Now I know that one of the major problems with Nigerians is lack of good education. Without education, it is hard for people to know when they are being short changed.

As far as I'm concerned, Jonathan sold power sector to his cronies against public outcry. So, deal with it. After all, you all know that privatization is about profit and more profit.
