Nigerian Engineers Kick against Planned Electricity Tariffs Increase •Say subsidy palliatives ill-conceived The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) yesterday kicked against the planned hike in electricity tariffs, stressing that after a careful review of the situation, it came to the conclusion that the call to raise power prices was unjustifiable. https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/08/29/nigerian-engineers-kick-against-planned-electricity-tariffs-increase 58 Likes

NSE recommended that the NERC should ensure that licensees are only allowed prudent and justifiable cost escalation, as the ‘pass-through’ costs only, noting that they should be made to look inwards and reduce their expenses on operational line items. The NSE listed the items as: Payment for technical partners, payment for consultants, payment for vending services/ billing and collections as well as looking into its over-bloated payroll. It also accused the Discos of making payment for concession services that the staff can provide as well as making heavy management and board expenses. They are doing over-invoicing. Simple. That's a financial crime. Shakara of the Discos don end.Smh So while they were threatening us with tariff hike, they can not defend or justify tariff hike yet for years, FG under PDP's Yardua-Goodluck administration started with Multi-Year Tariff Order ( MYTO) and kept paying money to them as electricity subsidies until now that Asiwaju Tinubu moved against subsidies. This is a brilliant and patriotic service the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) is undertaking and I am very proud of them. They must not relent and push for refunds if possible. This is how patriots with elitist education should use their elitist education to engage Intelligently and suggest credible alternatives. NSE must go one step further to petition the Federal Executive Council to report this inefficiency and economic sabotage and report to EFCC and Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria so that the whole industry and regulators will be scrutinised and audited like presently being done with CBN. Some people may need to go to jail for this blackmail of customers with unjustified tariff hike to stop. The NA should criminalise what the DISCOs are reportedly doing by deliberately padding their overheads and criminal over invoicing. Please stay off this thread if you are incapable of engaging intellectually. This is to lend our voice in support of NSE and not an invite to the mob of cyberbullies, liars, criminal defamers and bigots. Check my signature for free stuffs! 88 Likes 4 Shares |

I always laugh when I see people call on the companies to reduce their prices for poor people. Like, suppose I call on the engineers to reduce their fees so that more poor people can afford their servicies. Dem go shout 'no way' tire. We have a running internet system, and telephony system because at the end of the day, GSM companies were allowed to set their prices. We have a bad power system, because at the end of the day, government sets their prices to low because 'the poor have to breathe'. And 40% of customers do not pay for the light they use. Yes, including meter holders who bypass the thing, and enjoy free power. At the end if we want 24 hours power, we better pay for 24 hours power, or forget about it. Modified I would like to thank everyone who responded to this comment. At the end, I am not endorsing bad performance, but pointing out why we have bad performance. Also, in response to these two guys livenija: Yes, the above quote was made in response to my comment above. I honestly do not understand why a simple comment defending the right of people who do business, which may even include the guy above, to make a profit while they do their buisness should be the occasion for a threat against someone To livenija, I can only wish you and your family all the good and great things in life, and a peaceful and prosperous remaining years of your life. May God continue to bless and keep and comfort you. To the second person who seconded livenaija's comment arewafederation: I can only wish you the same. At the end, both of you need to calm down. This is a site, not your life, and I do not have the power to make the whole world not favour you. Again, no one need agree with what I say here. Good morning, and to those who liked my post, thanks for the likes and everything. 44 Likes 1 Share |

001Lagos:You are from Owerri, Imo state and you have multiple 'Lagos' monikers you use to impersonate real Lagosians and spew hate. Please don't derail this thread with your shenanigans. This is a thread for educated folks with the elitist education that address technical areas of governance and govt. policies.

The discos operators are part of APC Scam. Two weeks after every new administration is inaugurated they always give you electricity like they’ve improved. They did the same thing with Buhari now Tinubu and just last week after the ministers was sworn in they pull another stunt with the minister of power. Discos are scammers! 6 Likes |
