This useless disco are just a useless hopeless organization. Nigeria electricity supposed to be competing with what Nigeria are earning from crude oil of course we are the population. Many communities not see electricity light for 10 years even in urban areas you still can't guarantee 8 hours power supply. You keep increasing tariffs every month like you are selling pepper.

The only president Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows is to hike fuel pump price and electricity tariffs. Causing more hardship for the people that sold their votes to him. He knows nothing about what a president of a country should be.

rapheal5:
can you just state one reason, why you hate Yoruba. Most Yoruba youths voted for obi in South West, yet obi couldn't make 60percent vote in core Eastern part...

Saying the truth has now become hatred. Ok

More Hardship Looms For Nigerians As DisCos Set To Increase Electricity Tariff On Jan 1

While the pains of fuel subsidy removal still linger, the confusion surrounding a planned electricity tariff increment starting from January 1, 2024 has compounded the worries.

It was gathered that the officials of the Nigeria’s Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) held a virtual emergency meeting recently to formalise and perfect the planned tariff increase.

A source in one of the DisCos, who claimed anonymity, confirmed the development to Daily Trust on Sunday.

The source said: “All has been perfected for the new tariff to take effect from the first of January, 2024.

It is now left for various electricity distribution companies to enlighten their customers on new developments.”

The source said the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had already invited distribution companies for a meeting on the development.
He expressed fear that while it is mandatory for electricity distribution companies to regularly evaluate tariffs every six months, the recent increase would meet customers’ dissatisfaction.

“In fact, we were perturbed by the short notice and how we would reach out to our customers about the increase,” he said.
Asked how much the increase would be, the source said, “No idea so far, but the uncertainty has put us in a difficult situation.”

Recall that in November 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stopped the implementation of the electricity tariff, insisting on a power sector subsidy.

Speaking on Tinubu’s directive on electricity tariff hikes, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, said, “The power sector is an industry that is very sensitive to any leader.

“You cannot jump overnight and implement the cost-reflective tariff. I can tell you that till today, the government still subsidises power”.

@ TruthsFM

Punch Newspaper said it has been OFFICIALLY denied as just a rumour.

I think they increased it by 25% less-than-6-months-ago and would not want to provoke their customers in the new year... Plus no mention of this new until after the deadline.

Now your suffering continues

NYSC

Nigerians don see 99 already so we non dey fear 100

See ...they also love subsidies...just get paid from Govt...no one wants to put in the effort to get funds from customers knowing services are terrible...anyways the news has been debunked ..no tariff hikes

Na to hang wire kawai.... Highest we burst Bros for street wey dey work for Nepa urgent 2k.

Nigerians always improvise.

Energy theft will be on d increase.Most people that they give outrageous estimated billing have decided to be stealing energy.

Compliant:
Solar is just the way for those who can afford it, as for me since December 2 years ago it’s has being solar for me and my household.

Just last week I had to increase the capacity, so now freezer, fridge, AC, Tv, light all can work at ago.

They should continue to increase

Please can freezer froze very well and last long with solar ?
I want to install it for my freezer but not sure if will ice well and stay long like normal electricity

Saying the truth has now become hatred. Ok

No, but blaming yoruba tribe on this present government that some igbos also voted for is hatred...

matify83:
DISCOS have always wanted high tariff without a commensurate improvement in efficient distribution by replacing aged and undersized transformers and large scale metering of consumers for objective costing of power consumed.

Darkness costs more in Nigeria

Normally of the had more distribution-reach, it should be getting cheaper commensurately.


The disco sector is a scam. When these companies bought this sector from Government 2012, they signed and agreed to invest in the sector and instease there spread within 10years to cover almost all customers of the entire region they are assigned to, with meter and almost 24hour light as long as it's payable.


Between now&then(11years ago), I bet you they are working less then 40% efficiently. Also with transformers working above capacity.


Anyways banks, amcon have gotten involved in their managements.


These were idiots that allowed Goodluck Jonathan utilize their obtained loans to finds its way into his election investments.

The Tansmission Company of Nigerian that has refused to improve their grid capacity from 5,000MW still remained the bottleneck in the power sector. Now, expecting the electric tariff not to increase when the price of natural gas that contributes 80% to the grid has increased is self-deception.

Angelfrost:
Increasing the tariff is not even my issue...!

Where the light?!!

Nigeria is just a funny nation where citizens are demanded to pay more for epileptic services.

Imagine BEDC threatening Edo and Delta with increased electricity tariffs... Is that not laughable?!!!

It is even more laughable to realize that majority of Nigerians are poor to pay for constant electricity.

This fool, has taken tinubu incompetence as Jonathan fault. Stupidity!!

Mumu. Power sector had been privatised long time ago by Jonathan, there's little to nothing FG can do about it. It is now a private business. You want to blame someone, blame Jonathan who sold it at give away prices with the blessing of Dundees like you who said "govt has no business being in business" at that time.

You should as well fault, Jonathan for the hike in price of food products,drugs, transport cost ,and the incessant killing at the middle belt.

Stay focused, damn!

Fool!! 🤦. You see this shege, walaihi it will choke you all that supported tinubu into coma. It hasn't even started.

Me and Shege in this country will never relate. Money will never be my problem, kid.

Gboss247:

You would be shocked at how much these same poor Nigerians spend on alternative sources of electric power.

Remember how it was touted that most Nigerians would be too poor to afford cell phone and Internet services decades back?!! Where are we now!

Make the electricity available first... Let the people decide if they can or cannot afford it.

With prepaid meters in every home, we won't even be having this conversation, and Discos would be better off.
