The Eko Electricity Distribution Company says the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has approved the migration of 33 additional feeders to Band A under its franchise area.

The feeders are Adeleke Adedoyin, Ajeast, Annex, Army Resettlement, British America Tobacco, CIG, Coker, Dideolu, Droyers, Empire Court, Estate, Etim Inyang, Firro, Freeman, Glover, Heritage, M&K Express, Mega Plaza, Montgomery 1, Moore Road, Nest Oil, NIMR, Nipost, Osborne, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Palace Road, Rocky Estate, Rumens, Smith, Station Feeder (Nitel), Victoria Arobieke, DPR andNitel.

The DisCo disclosed this Friday in a statement made available to our correspondent by the General Manager, Corporate Communications of EKEDC, Babatunde Lasaki.

PUNCH online reports that on April 3, the Federal Government, through the NERC, announced that subsidy would no longer be paid on the electricity consumed by Band A customers.


From N68 per kilowatt-hour, Band A customers now pay N255/KWh, while others maintain the old tariffs.

Lasaki said customers in these areas would experience “a guaranteed minimum of 20 hours of power supply daily in line with the newly approved Multi-Year Tariff Order”.


He assured customers within the EKEDC network of ongoing efforts to improve the quality of service rendered to them.

He said, “In our bid to serve our customers better, we are looking to even add more feeders to the list of our Band A feeders so that more customers can enjoy a guaranteed 20 hours of power supply daily.

“It is also our commitment to ensure that customers under other service bands, that is, Bands B to E also enjoy their guaranteed minimum supply hours while we work to improve our power supply”.

Lasaki added that EKEDC was working to eliminate supply downtime within its franchise area and achieve its goal of a stable and uninterruptible power supply.

He said, “The EKEDC is dedicated to investing more in infrastructural capacity to improve power supply and is working with all stakeholders to ensure a minimum of 20 hours of supply is available to all its customers”.

BandA mostly estates and industrial areas...increase in tarrif for industrial areas= increase in prices of finished goods.

Tinupoo is playing you the devil's advocate...give you with right hand, collect it back with left hand, nitoru olorun abi how Una talk am😂

The ones wey dey band A before no Dey get light reach 20 hours yet they are adding more areas to this their scam band. The next thing is to apologize for any inconveniences as if they mean it.

ghen ghen

.

The way they keep making emphasis on Band A, you go think say na 24hrs light dem dey get

All this just to charge people exorbitantly! I am certain that most of these supposed band A areas don’t receive even 10 hrs of electricity daily! How does the govt scam its citizens and act like nothing is wrong ?

Official scammers

It was estimated bills that led the migration to prepaid. Now, we have prepaid metres with state sanctioned fleecing scheme, where you pay for services not utilised

Looking for more customers to pay for more darkness...this kind of upgrade is an insult because they are lying to your face that you are enjoying more light when in fact you are powering your facility privately

Na so.
Gradually they will migrate everyone to at least the next upper grade since they found out that Nigerians have lived up to expectations as being the weakest set of people in the world,able to absolve all sh it thrown at them

On top 2300mw. You are adding more people to band A. By the time other discos start adding more to band A, we shall see what will remain to serve other bands.

Add more Gini?

E go reach everybody. E go surely reach everybody.

Scam format... very soon dem go migrate everyone to Band A. Whether u like am or not

Issoright

We are paying for a clueless government. Ignorance is costly

What a balabluu

Dem say i dey band A.... I swear i no dey see even 5 hours of electricity a day!!!

Technically reducing power supply to aboki in the North.
If you have stayed in the North before you will wonder why states with less purchasing power are enjoying more stable power supply than those with higher purchasing power in the south.
The recent tariff increment is too much at a go, however I think it's a scheme to redistribute power supply regionally.
How many areas in the North can afford the tariff for minimum of 20 hours a day.
Many times Buhari administration had to step in and pay the difference for Kano Electricity Distribution Company as well as other DISCO's (Kano was the highest all the time) due to shortfall in revenue collection and remittance to the GENCO's.
