The solution is simple....LET the discos and gencos set the price, not NBET. Not the government.

Also, let everyone have their meter...and let people that bypass the meter get punished by having no power...

Let every Nigerian pay for the power they use, and not use cutlass to chase disco workers doing their job.

From your username, where you stand is clear. The problem with electricity in Nigeria is not money. It is mismanagement and lack of expertise.

These discos and gencos and whatever else is out there are in the hands of nonprofessionals. Unfortunately, the government would never sell them to professionals because those ones rarely know anyone in government. Instead, they gave it to their friends who use it to collect loans they invest outside the country while doing nothing about electricity.

At least anyone will know that the equitable thing to do first is to meter everyone, after which you increase tariff to drive profitability in the sector as well as investment. As long as you make people pay for the meters, then it is their property to tamper with. Nobody tampers with the transformer (they are all metered mind you) because individuals dont buy it, and it is assumed to belong to the company providing power (Disco). Metering all customers must be done first before anything can be accomplished in the power sector (the corruption is massive, they want to make money without providing the service, same as its currently applied to the subsidy scam). Now i have put the horse before that cart as opposed to your submission.

It is money primarily.

The government sets their price. Not the companies themselves. And since the government sets their prices, they keep prices to a lower level than what it costs to produce one kwh of power...and pay a subsidy.

That's what a Pricewaterhouse coopers report on the sector found in 2019....that there is a money problem in the sector. And when there is no money...you cannot buy equipment, build facilites, or even attract investors, and expert ones at that.

By contrast, the GSM sector was allowed to grow on its own, with government not setting their price, and they earned enough profit and investment to build a lot of stuff and keep it running.

I did say let them meter everyone. See my comment.

What annoys you is the fact I said that the discos should set their price.

The issues facing the Nigerian power sector remains multi-faceted but in our view, top on the list is the non-cost reflective tariff. While we acknowledge that the current macroeconomic landscape may not be best suited for another hike in electricity tariffs, we note that the continued adoption of non-cost-reflective tariffs will exacerbate the anemic position of Discos, prevent the overhaul of poor transmission infrastructure, hinder private sector investments and constrain the development of the power sector. With government revenue under significant pressure, we believe government liquidity injections may prove to be insufficient in sustaining the power sector.

Sauce: The Nigerian power sector, still in muddy waters from Nairametrics.

He or she who has ears to hear, let him or her hear.
true but let the generation and distribution of pnwer be in the hands of state governments,this power issue will come to an end

The part that everyone should be metered should come first. The discos are making alot of money currently even with the low tariff. They regularly reject load from TCN, but go ahead to bill consumers monthly on their own estimated bills without providing any commensurate power. So surely giving them more money doesn't solve the issue.

Once you meter consumers, if they provide no power, they make absolutely no money, this will start curbing the corruption in the system. they will finally start running a business instead of a scam-empire where they get free money without providing any service.

Nigerians run generator to power their businesses, then take money from same business to pay non-existent power bills.
