Covid19: Reps Seek Two-month Free Electricity Supply To Nigerians by Nelly1010(m): 9:37am On Apr 05, 2020
The House of Representatives is to consider a fresh Stimulus Bill that will ensure that Nigerians get free electricity supply for two months.

This was contained in a statement on Saturday by Lanre Lasisi, the speaker’s spokesperson.
The house had, last week, passed a bill seeking to grant companies a reduction on Companies Income Tax to 50 per cent of PAYE (pay as you earn), so long as the companies do not retrench their staff.
Although it would be a temporary palliative, the bill seeks to grant a six-month deferral for payments on mortgages obtained by individual contributors to the National Housing Fund (NHF). Mr Lasisi, while quoting the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, said the gesture is to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr Gbajabiamila spoke at the National Assembly on Saturday during a meeting between the National Assembly leadership and the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmad, the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze, among others.

Fingers crossed.

Let's see how it goes. But if approved, the light that may be supplyed within that two months will be so meagre. Trust Nigeria NEPA!

I wonder how they managed to speak with covered mouths. Bunch of hypocrists. Sell those newly aquired cars and use the money to subsidize electricity tariff for us.
Telling us not to pay is same as telling NEPA not to give us light for two months
