A very good move.

In its efforts to meet the Presidential Metering Initiative, the Federal government said it has targeted a minimum acquisition and installation of two million meters annually within the next five years.

The Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, disclosed this during a facility tour of Metering Solutions Manufacturing Services in Onna Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Friday.

Adelabu, who identified metering as one of the infrastructure deficits militating against steady electricity in the country, lamented that Nigeria’s metering gap is over seven million which is about 47 per cent metre penetration.

He said that President Bola Tinubu-led administration is committed to bridging the metering gap in the country through the Presidential Metering Initiative.

He said, “The major deficit is metering penetration, which today is less than 50 per cent of total customers in electricity consumers.

“We have 13 million registered electricity consumers whose meters have not been installed today. So, we have about seven million meter gap, that is about 47 per cent meter penetration. That is the major issue in the sector, if you do not metre customers, you cannot bill them and if you do not bill you cannot collect.

“So, it’s affecting the sector and there are losses and the collecting end of the losses is metering and we believe it is a major hiccup in the power sector.


“A lot of Nigerians pay on the estimated bill, this is not only unfair, but it is also unjust, it is evil because in the estimated bill, there is no transparency; there is no sincerity.”

He noted that “Nigerians are complaining and the metering is an avenue for Distribution Companies to make for their lost revenue. And we have made a lot of numbers of DisCos to make a lot of refunds to customers.

“So, we are saying that the best way to go is to reduce this meter gap. President Bola Tinubu under his Renewed Hope Agenda vows to do anything that will impact positively the life of the people.

“And we have a target of a minimum of acquisition and installation of two million metres annually over the next five years. That is the minimum target we are given. That is 10 million metres and we are already taking steps to achieve this in terms of funding, and recovery strategy.”

Speaking while giving a brief presentation of the company, the General Manager, Metering Solutions Manufacturing Services, Mr Tolulope Ogunkolade, said that the company which was established and commissioned in 2017 has made significant progress.

He said, “We have undergone equipment upgrades across all the segments of the factory since 2022. We are consistently going to produce and maintain 99.9 per cent quality assurance

“We also planned to bring up robots because to produce 2.3 million meters in 12 months comes with a lot of manpower requirements, but by the time we integrate robots into our operations, it will definitely give us that mileage to accomplish the target within 12 months period.”

Racoon:
Same political psycophancy group like the hypocritical save and occupy Nigeria groups who were social moralists during 2012 - 2015 but now have today gone conscience dead just to justify the bad governance of a well known drug baron, certificate forging disaster of an account who have ended up bastardizing a nation beyond repair.

The people of Nigeria have never had things so bad and you're defending a profligate government with untenable economic hocus pocus. History beackons!

You're free to protest in Aba or Umuhaia

mrvitalis:
But APC handling of this protest is what might trigger the real protest

What date will this una protest start in Aba?

Zonefree:
You've always been a major nuisance to this forum. How do you sleep at night?

Do you need a job?

the journalist get bad mouth

Is this not the bridge that links Maryland with Ojota?

Believeintruth:
Keep playing Ostrich, just know that God hates two things according to the bible.

And you have them both.

nairalanda1:
And after over 8 years of APC, Instead of Nigeria earning trillions and giving governors trillions of naira, they get billions.

Better not be satisfied with bad government simply because it favors you.

So Nigeria was earning trillions and giving trillions to governors during PDP 16 years

nairalanda1:
No, your leader should lead us well

Tinubu gave billions of naira to state governors, telling them to give extra 30k to state workers, Otti has refused to pay Abia workers the 30k they are entitled to but you're here dragging my so called leader

It will take thousands of years if not millions before it will fully split. It won't split and become an ocean in our lifetime

Anioma won't be created but if it's mistakenly created, it won't be part of the south east

IGBOPROMISE1:
What are you afraid of exactly!? Assuming, without conceding, that you’re actually from Ukwuani or Aniocha, don’t you think if majority of their people decide for whatever reason that they have more in common linguistically, culturally and ethnically with the Itshekiri, Uhrobo and Ijaw, that they will voice their feelings themselves!? Why this shameless display of fear on nairaland!? Or do you think Ned Nwoko has the power to drag them kicking and screaming into a political arrangement they don’t want!?

Can someone remind me again what ethnicity Dr Ifeanyi Okowa said he’s proudly from during the campaigns for the last presidential election in 2023? I wanna check something!

Dr Ifeanyi Okowa is an Ika man from Delta north

The original ile-ife was moved to different locations at different points in history, the original inhabitants were nupoid people,the surrounding areas were also peopled by nupoid people,there is high likelihood giving the ancient association of the Yorubas with the Nupe that the Oduduwa figure who was termed a stranger to the already existing ileife was Most likely of Nupe stock or igala stock not necessarily Benin.The nupe- jukun- igala confederacy was the first ancient state in NIGERIA area.

Ojiofor:
Protest is not by state of origin....one can decide to join protest in his state of residence or place of residence.You guys brings in tribe and division in everything.When Tinubu and Soyinka plus Buhari was protesting did you ask them to back to their states and protest?

Well, he can take his protest to Aba or Umuhaia

Sex starved bastards

nairalanda1:
That includes most of your APC states...only a PDP state is able to meet up.

Shows the success of your party, doesn't it.

So we have just one PDP governor all over Nigeria?

Toh

Ajaero, Nigerians know you made the right decision.
