THREAT BY BEDC TO DISCONNECT THE UNIVERSITY

After reading the content supposedly signed by our University Management, it became imperative to clarify some issues.

The claim that the April 2024 electricity bill being outrageous is actually mis-leading, as the bill was based on actual meter readings, as consumed by UNIBEN.

The significant increase in the billed amount from previous months is due to a government-mandated tariff increase for Band A customers, which applies to all DISCOs, including BEDC.

The increase was from N68/KWh to N225/KWh but later slashed to 206/KWh. see link for details https:///tariffincrease

Therefore, the purported threat of the withdrawal of supply by BEDC is likely as a result of the University Management refusal to make payment for energy consumed in April 2024.

Let's all hope payment is made ASAP to avoid the said disconnection...

GREATEST UNIBEN!!!
