To me I don't see any reason for this 300% increase, Nigerians will pay for electricity, in return they give darkness, when the transformers are bad, Nigerian again will contribute money to buy new transformers still the Disco won't detuct from their bill. People living in location made up of mostly poor people, if they apply for meter, they won't get, even after payment. How will this increase, increase electricity production when the infrastructure is still the same.
What do you understand by Band A customer? You guys just like to criticise everything.

The National Assembly should show how much they love this country and the people by stopping this atrocious increase, influenced by few capitalists. Again, the National Electricity Commission NERC should be scrapped, they are tools used to defraud Nigerians, they don't mean well for the country.

I'm happy I'm on prepaid meter to regulate my usage.

I announced to my family yesterday that whenever they are in the living room watching TV, the lights must be off. The TV light should serve the purpose.

Why must they hike the tarrif? Stable electricity already means consumers would pay more, since the token would burn for a much longer time. If you give 2hr electricity, the token would burn for only 2hrs. And if you give 20hr electricity, the token would burn for 20hrs, making more money for the Discos. There's no sense in hiking electricity tarrif just because you want to provide stable electricity. Should the telecoms hike tarrif plans just because some fellows are calling for longer hours? This isn't sensible.
rather just because some areas have better network. It's so funny

You're not getting the trick....
They will suppy some others 20hrs plus to make more money
It is easier for them to implement my opinion because they do not have capacity to provide 20 hours or more to more customers. only those on band A which is 33 KVA feeders can enjoy such supply.

Immediately I saw the name of the minister in charge and his ethnic group, I knew incompetence was on display, just like his drug-dealing brother in Aso Rock.

At least every Nigerian is suffering. Thank God.

You're hiking tariff by over 200% when power generation is still less than 5,000 megawatts. Coupled with the frequent collapse of the national grid like an epilepsy patient.

So technically, customers on Band A would not experience any visible improvement in power supply aside paying more for it.

How Tinubu's supporters still find a way to sing his praises despite his harsh suffocating policies which even the blind can see should be added among the 7 wonders of the world.
Stop politicizing things! What would Peter Obi have done otherwise? Gas supply has been bad due to the 2.9tr the government is owing Gencos and Discos.

Increasing the price is a step in the right direction. This would enable the Gencos pay for gas. The benefits would eventually trickle down. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Were paying the same rate with US that has a minimum wage of 1.3m when we pay 30k minimum wage?
How do you reconcile that?
Why is it so hard to increase minimum wage but so swift to cut off electricity subsidy?

Even if power generated is less than 2000megawatts, power is shared and distributed on rationing, Priority wise

You might mistakenly find yourself living a band A area but No Area using Band A is mistakenly selected, i don't know how the rich will feel about the increment

But i believe, an improved electricity will trickle down to ALL, so what if the rich pay the price for us.

Tell two of your representative in the national assembly to initiate impeachment process before it's too late. The one at the HOR and the other in the Senate.

What this means is that band A will now have more power supply, carved out from other bands just to pacify band A and justify the upward review.
In essence, majority of Nigerians that fall under band B and below will now experience poorer supply.

Didn't the government think this through?
You didn't read the whole news. It was clearly stated that THE HIKE WILL NOT LEAD TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO THE AFFECTED CUSTOMERS

Its total nonsense, it's becoming evident that Nigeria may not be able to move reasonably forward.....countries are making electricity 24 hours you are making some less than 20 hours....its proves unseriousness........at thus point u hear them compare US rate to Nigeria, but when we ask them about development and minimum wage, they would say we shouldn't be comparing because US is way older than us...... sincerely many Nigerians really need immunization against foolishness and stupidity.

I said it years ago that if this man becomes president we will all suffer tax increments. The reason is because he has nothing to offer. He only specializes in making money through taxing the citizens. A reasonable and intelligent person will build more industries this will empower the youth. Not giving them okadas and peanuts to start POS business or keke napep. This government has failed and will continue to fail until they change their mindset. As for those supporting them, make una continue with una tribalism. I hail una. Time will tell.
