COMRADES, the former executive chairman of the Nigeria electricity regulatory commission (NERC) Sam Amadi (pĥd) said that the new electricity tariff introduced by NERC is nothing but a deception, NERC said that the recently electricity tariff increment will affect customers on band A only.

However, Dr Amadi said that it was just a ploy for a general tariff increment, he said, as time goes on, whether you're a band A, band B, or band C, band D or even a band E customer, you must pay the new tariff. Dr Amadi stated this when he was featured on Kakaki-AIT the African voice this morning

Deception is on their followers and supporters. Those that didn't vote them are already prepared.

It's wrong to say that

You don't need to second-guess a body corporate

Some of you are daft.

Dr Sam Amadi is not a new name in Nigeria's electricity sector. He has headed that same NERC for many years and remains the most vibrant figure from NERC

Ordinarily, you should calm down, listen to him and learn.

Can he give stewardship of his time there?

What he said is unbecoming of someone who has spent years in that same sector

You don't second-guess or cast aspersion on policies like a layman after having worked at the highest level of an organization

He did not proffer an alternative viewpoint. He sounded like a beer parlour jester

If he has cogent historical or technical perspective to prove that it is indeed a deception, he should present it or shut the hell up

What Nigerians are not aware of is that the hike was even done days before the announcement without notice

Very true

Nothing new. Tell us what we don’t already know - Nigerians aren’t dullards like they believe.

Sam Amadi (2011)

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, on Tuesday informed Chief Executive Officers of electricity distribution companies that the last schedule of the 2008/2013 regime of Multi Year Tariff Order (MYTO) will be operational as from July 1, 2011.

This development will see to a marginal increase in kilowatt hour of electricity from N8.50 to N10.00 from that date.

Commenting on the development, NERC Chairman, Dr. Sam Amadi said, “The marginal increase was since approved in 2008 and we have the responsibility to inform the public as part of our commitment to transparency.”

Sam Amadi (2013)

Despite condemnation by Nigerians over the increase in electricity charges without improved power supply, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has said the increase in fixed charges for electricity consumers is aimed at guaranteeing stable electricity supply in the nearest future.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja, NERC’s chairman, Dr Sam Amadi says the tariff paid by consumers is fair, reasonable and necessary to guarantee continuous improvement in electricity supply to homes and businesses in Nigeria.

He added that the multi-year tariff order of N500 fixed charge for 2012 was slightly increased to N700 with effect from June 2013 and as such there has not been an arbitrary increase of tariffs.

Electricity consumers in the country have been lamenting the annual increase in fixed charges which comes into effect on the 1st of June every year.

Sam Amadi (2015)

Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, says the new electricity tariff hike expected to come into effect by the end of October is aimed at ensuring cost-reflective tariffs in the Nigerian electricity supply industry.

He said the tariff review will bring about a cost-reflective tariffs in the industry, capable of attracting private investments, especially foreign direct investments, FDIs. It is also aimed at ensuring that these investments were bankable, Amadi said.

The Electric Power Sector Reform Act (2005) empowers NERC to review electricity tariffs in favour of Gencos and Discos, if market variables such as gas and its transportation cost, as well as naira to dollar ratio and inflation shift by over 5 percent.

The NERC chairman however warned that a balance needed to be maintained between investments attraction and winning the confidence of consumers.

“Bills will go up, but service quality also has to be ensured. We have to bear that in mind,” Amadi told a gathering of Nigerian power sector operators as well as local and foreign investors, including representatives from Manitoba Hydro International and the Africa Finance Corporation.

Sam Amadi - Ex-NERC Chairman (2016)

However, justifying NERC’s stance, immediate past Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, described the Senate’s directive as illegal, unconstitutional and a direct encroachment on executive independence.

He told Vanguard: “The order by the Senate for NERC to rescind the tariff is a direct infringement on the independence of the executive to initiate policies, in this case through NERC. It is a subtle derogation of the powers of the executive. It offends the concept of separation of power. The legislature should not interfere and direct executive action. That is clearly against the law. It is unconstitutional.”

He argued that until a new board was reconstituted to consider reviewing or totally suspending the order, “nobody anywhere can validly review or suspend the current tariff.”

It’s a deception because they’re claiming it was meant for rich people businesses, and also for people who get up to 20 hours a day, but many nairalanders have confirmed their tariffs were increased, plus many people in urban cities are in band A, they’re also saying they don’t receive up to 10 hours a day

This government is known for propaganda

It is clear you do not know him or bothered to search for any of his interviews.
