Nice but downgrade shouldn't be only for band A.

This band A thing is the biggest scam of the decade. They rip you off for no reasonable reason.

The increase in Tarrif should have seen an increase in revenue to the discos by now, they should upgrade there infrastructures so this subsidy-hating government can cut subsidy to band B

All this billions our state governors have been sharing all this year I believe it's enough for each state to generate their own power if they are sincere.

For you to feed band A, others bands Should be in complete darkness

Don't these people ever think policies through before going public? All these back n forth within few weeks is a shame...a disgrace and a National disaster

ObiPandora:
Yes it is the right time
Failure to perform to standard means the disco will lose that band A privileges to the area leading to loss of revenue so the increase in charges is an incentive Disco won't want to lose but I don't expect you to understand that out of hate for Tinubu.

That's how you said subsidy is the best thing after fried and rice and your govt is paying so hugely now

Naira floating nko?

Who will put this people in check exactly?

Dey play

Good for Business other than using Generator set,#4,500/daily (#225*20hr)/uninterrupted power supply...
What happen to Band B

nairalanda1:
The gas issue is really problematic

The truth is, the gas debt has to be paid, and I doubt our power companies have the money yet.

The band a increase was supposed to have helped.

Another loan coming.....

But isn't that what U wanted, Mr elitist & No1 govt fan on nairaland. When we said U guys should not remove any subsidy without having necessary infrastructure on ground to at least make sure things are constantly available even if it's a bit expensive but U think say we be socialist.

Now govt don't rush use all of Ur ideas & we still back to square one with mind blown inflation.

Rush petrol subsidy removal without refinery, NOW BACK TO PAYING HIGHER

Rush flaot our darling Naira...Now back to defending her with loans & our reserves.


Rush removed electricity subsidy, Turns out even with d higher prices they can't provide electricity.

At the end, no matter how angry and abusive you are, you cannot change the fact that things cost money, and that subsides for over 40 years is the reason why our power and petrol sector is not working.

It's a sad fact that this government, like all previous governments is useless. Still doesn't change the above fact.

Downgrade after abysmal service.. After we hav been billed.

Nubbish.

These gencos and disco all lack forus..cos NERC is just faffing.

How many volts have been added to the grid since BAT took over.. Now it's a game. To exploit a few for the cash outs.. By diverting the limited epileptic power available to the highest bidder.

At least we all agree that subsidy no good.


But I absolutely disagree with u on suddenly removing it, just like ur principal did recently...Pease tell him, Necessary infrastructures need to be put in place before phasing out subsidy gradually & in phases. Otherwise they would just make things worse

In other words, buhari was right and tinubu is right according to you. They are, after all, doing gradual removal.

As for me, if companies cannot make a profit, forget smooth operation. Therefore for me tinubu and buhari and their predecessors who did gradual removal are.wrong.

Gradual removal obviously is not working.

Meanwhile, Niger and Ghana have working refineries and zero subsidy
