I beg this is needed, we need pre-paid meters in every home, because holding companies are rolling out bills to individuals like they like, my bill for last month and this month is outrageous! January is just half way gone and they are giving me my January bill!

Just because we now have consistent light all day does not give them the right to extort us!

We enjoy the light and we are willing to pay for it, but when they give us a bill and we can't tell what parameter they use to allot the bill then someone is being deceived and cheated!

Good work Mr. President! Very responsive of you Sire!

I thought I'm the only one noticing the improvement in electricity supply.
On topic, I expect Electricity regulation commission to check the excesses of these DISCOs before they shock us to death with unreasonable bills.

A man that can't transform Daura wants to transform Nigeria

Truly

Some Nigerian graduates are half baked.

You're taking it too far, could he transform life if not Abacha that rescued from obscurity through PTF.

President Goodluck Jonathan has approved funds for the procurement of one million electricity meters.

This is coming as the Federal Government on Thursday shifted its earlier target of generating 6,000MW of electricity before the end of 2014 to 2015.

Addressing the complaints of power consumers and civil society organisations during a town hall meeting in Abuja, the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, said the private sector owners of the electricity distribution companies inherited a lot of customers who had no meters.

He said, “The private sector inherited a customer base in which 50 per cent do not have meters. Nigeria has the highest per capital electricity theft in the world. That is why we are now doing smart meters and we are moving to a place where the meters will be mounted on poles, because something has got to be done fast.

“As a result of the burden on the Discos due to meter issues, the President has provided funding to give over one million meters to Nigerians to reduce the gap and then allow the Discos ensure that all customers are given meters.”

Asked to state when Nigerians would start seeing the meters, Nebo said, “The fact is that the funding has been approved by Mr. President and the funds will be released very soon. These meters are being procured and I do think that in the next couple of months, you will begin to see them because the mechanism still needs to be developed on how they will be shared to the distribution companies.

“They (Discos) will distribute and install these meters and these are all being worked out. Some people may not be happy to give you meters, but we think we should continue to insist that every consumer must be given a meter because the only way to stop estimated billing is to provide these meters.”

Electricity consumers who do not have meters receive estimated bills monthly.

This has been widely criticised by stakeholders who argue that the development is being abused by the electricity distribution companies to extort money from their customers by issuing inflated bills based on estimation.

On the country’s new power generation target, Nebo said, “We have an outlook for 2015 to 2017. People are saying you people said you will do 6,000 megawatts, yes! We have the capacity standing, we now have the gas standing and we are going to do that shortly within this year. But beyond that, by 2016 we expect to get up to 10,000MW and by 2017 to get 12,500MW.”

Statistics obtained from the ministry showed that peak generation on Wednesday was 4,405.6MW; energy generation, 4,000.63MW; while energy sent out was 3,914.60MW. Peak demand was, however, put at 12,800MW.

On gas pipelines vandalism, Nebo said the country lost an average of 1,000MW in 2014 as a result of the activities of vandals.

He called for the speedy passage of bills that would ensure “severe punishment of pipeline vandals, because anytime the country’s power generation crosses the 4,000MW mark, vandals will strike our gas installations and end up dragging down the figure.”

The minister noted that the ministry was working with security agencies to address the issue of vandalism, stressing that the government was seeing the menace as sabotage against its power reforms.

Too dry...sai BUHARI

Did I tell you that here is joke section? You and your illiterate demi god are embarrassment to your generation.

Nigerians expect the old man to respect himself and save the country of this certificate wahala by going back to secondary school and get the all important certificate. It's never too late.
A country of millions of graduates can not be ruled by a certificate FRAUDSTER like him.

KAI BUHARI

barcanista:
May God guide President Jonathan and give him strength as he executes the activities to mark the Armed Forces Rememberance Day for the last time as President... Amen. May God also guide the Incoming President Muhammadu Buhari and give him the unfettered strength to bring to an end insecurity and put Nigeria back to the pedestal of greatness from May 29, 2015.... Big Amen.

Dreamer, please dream harder.

We should stop unguarded utterances.

lagbaja:
Listening to the president's speech: It's a shame that a sitting president downplays electoral malpractice by hiding behind judiciary when the apparatuses to ensure free election is at his beck and call. What we want t hear is your commitment to a free and fair election.

This guy,you have been complaining of light since time immemorial,now the light has improved you are still complaining.Nawa o.

Don't mind them. At least, I've seen a weedian campaigning for Jonathan. Just to remind you, Jonathan promised that light situation will improve by December 2014, it's not a coincidence, it's a result of hard work by the best president ever in the history of Nigeria, president Jonathan.

@Op, Eziachi, Why you people are too Childish?
Is NADECO a yoruba Organization? Is Ndubuisi Kanu a yoruba man?

Change the country was all we asked JONATHAN

VERY SIMPLE QUESTIONS!!!!

Rather he changed

The Currency
Oil Price
Plate Number
Driver's License
UNILAG to MUNILAG
Our Girls to Married Women

Was that what we needed or asked Jonathan to do?

BUT HE FAILED ALL

Is she the certificate we want him to bring?

#bringbackbuharicertificate

My take is that Op is the highest MUMU in nairaland.

At times I shiver at the kind of people that populate APC. What it takes for Satan to be made SAINT is just to declare for APC. No matter the obvious un-quantifiable retrogressive activities against mankind, he will be declared a progressive.
See below for the number of jobs Buhari created during his military regime.

U r worth a very hot slap for dis poo u r spewing hea. Six years isn't enough for a sincere government to do such project. Sorry!
