The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the body empowered to meet the yearnings of Nigerians for stable, adequate and safe electricity supply, has taken the bulll by the horn by releasing to the public, the rights of every electricity consumer.

Read the rights below:

1. All new electricity connections must be done strictly on the basis of metering before connection. That is, no new customer should be connected without meter first being installed.

2. A customer who elects to procure meter under the Credited Advance Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI) Scheme must be metered within 60 days, after which the customer will neither be billed nor disconnected by the electricity distribution company.

3. It is the customer’s right to transparent electricity billing. Unmetered customers should be issued with electricity bills strictly based on NERC’s estimated billing methodology.

pinshure of punna or ADONBILIVIT!!!

don't tell me u are serious

congratulations dear, well deserved

Command and conquer zero hour

Most people want to start life big, and don't want to start small.
I remember after NYSC in kogi, I relocate to Lagos where I looked and got a casual job in a cosmetics factory, they nva knew I was a graduate in Applied Chemistry and was paid 9K like evrybody else. It's was crazy, and hard, I was doing all sorts of things like carry heavy drums of perfumes, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, speciality chemical in an unsafe condition and environment, spoken too rudely, insulted, and harassed by all the illiterate supervisors. After 3 mke evry products they produce, and knew all the decision makers, I decided to approach the National Sales Manager, and gave him my CV, the man was stoned like he was looking at medusa, he couldn't believe it and told me that they need someone urgently with my qualification to fill a vacant position of Quality Control officer, and the next day the CEO came to meet me where I was working, and called me out, evryone was like 'wetin this one do again', but were all surprise when the man said "I am short of words to describe what you did, working in this condition even with your qualification" . After that month my level changed, and God has been good to me. If I had waited for a white collar job, who knows what could have been my case.

Do not despise your days of little beginning, whatever your hands find to do, do it diligently and honourably, so God can bless the work of your hands.

Lagos as a former federal capital territory deserves a special status for the purpose of revenue sharing in order to manage the huge challenges that was inherited from the relocation of the country's capital. This is in line with best practises all over the world. But unfortunately, tribalism, hatred and outright jealousy will not allow the law makers take the right decision.
