The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday, July 25 urged the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the 11 Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to halt their proposed tariff increase and “allow Nigerians to breathe”, IGBERETV reports.

Senator Yunus Abiodun Akintunde (APC – Oyo Central) moved a motion titled: “Need to halt proposed increase in Electricity Tariff by 11 successor Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos)” at plenary.

After debating on the motion, the Senate resolved to:

“Call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to intervene and halt the proposed increase in electricity tariff by the Distribution Companies (Discos);

“Urge Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to decentralize proposed engagement with Stakeholders scheduled for Abuja to the Six Geopolitical Zones of the Federation for effective participation by all;

“Also urge NERC to thoroughly look into the rate review applications filed by the Discos, taking into consideration the interests of citizens, affordability, and the need for improved service delivery;

“Further urge NERC to explore alternative measures to address the financial challenges faced by the Discos, such as improving operational efficiency, reducing technical and commercial losses, and enhancing revenue collection mechanisms;

“Equally urge Discos to henceforth discontinue estimated billing and make available to all electricity consumers prepaid meters at affordable prices; and

“Mandate the Committee on Power (when constituted) to engage with the Federal Ministry of Power, NERC, and other stakeholders to find lasting solutions to the challenges facing the Nigerian electricity sector, including the need for comprehensive sector reforms.

“Call on DisCos to allow communities recover cost of purchasing transformers before asking them to pay bills.

“Call on DisCos and NERC to allow Nigerians to breathe.”

Are Oshiomhole’s fellow senators allowing Nigerians breathe with their own rogue salaries, allowances and benefits in kind plus billions in palliatives?

Are we all mumus or what

Nigerian senator salary calculator: How do you compare?

1 April 2018

Many Nigerians were shocked after recent revelations from a prominent politician, Shehu Sani, that Nigerian senators are entitled to monthly expenses of 13.5m naira (£27,000; $37,500), in addition to their monthly salaries of more than $2,000.

A Senate spokesperson confirmed the figure, but said the funds were for senators to run their offices and should not be counted as part of their salaries.

Better

Please don't increase the electricity tariff...I know that with subsidy removal every sector of the economy will feel the heat...this is why I believe is better to build new refineries even if government had to borrow and also mandate oil companies to refine their crude oil here instead of exporting crude oil and import the finished products..fuel subsidy would have died naturally...our leaders will always do the right thing at the wrong time....

This guys are always joking with it's citizens

Useless sets of people making jest of the citizenry

While the same useless senaTHIEVES, representaTHIEVES, execuTHIEVES
, etc keeps sniffing life out of the citizens with arrays of ANTI-PEOPLE POLICIES ....
The shyyythole is really a steeewpid joke 🤣😂🤣🤣😜

# when the people are ready, THE NEEDFUL WILL BE DONE 😎

While they are busy choking us with their exorbitant budgets and monthly allowances.

These guys are having fun with Nigerians

Oh i pity these docile generation.

They accept anything and adjust and move on. when they try to unite to fight they introduce religion and tribe to the poor and they fight themselves, ignoring the real enemy which is the elite.

shame on this generation of Nigerinas.

We once had Youths who will shutdown government offices, blocked airport and bring government to do the biding of Nigerians but not anymore

Hausa can be enduring and allow things slide simply because their kin who don't give a flying fccck is there. same with Yoruba.

I avoided Igbo because they are largely traders. whether inflation becomes 1000%. They will adjust price accordingly. and transfer the heat to end users. That's not to say Igbos are excused from what's going on.

Until you make a change

Bola Ahmed Thiéfnubu should rather allow Nigeria breathe.
He said he will hit the ground running on a stolen mandate, only to hit the ground and broke his fragile legs.
Now the economy is a total mess..
Make Dem do quick restore the people's mandate. If he and his supporters don't agree, they should use the lagoon.
I won't respond to useless agbado munchers again.

This People honestly don't know what they are playing with. They are suffocating us and are still making fun of us.

Any little protest anywhere now may lead to something else.
