Did Discos Quietly Increase Tariffs?! (Screenshots) by Kelklein(op): 8:39am On Feb 02, 2025
Ok.. I just observed a drastic reduction in the Units given when I purchased electricity from AEDC. (See screenshots - the first shot was the unit given in Dec for same amount 73.4kwh, but now drastically reduced to 36.7kwh (100% reduction)

Did anyone observe this..

I thought maybe they changed my Band, so I went to their website to check the meter status. But it was the same Band B.

Just for context, the 5k loaded above would last for one week previously but now it would last for 3 days because of the 100% increment in cost. In a flat with few modest electronics, no ACs running. What that mean is that we would pay close to 50k before the end of the month. Previously 20-25k.

The thing is the surreptitious way they executed this.. no noise made, no announcements, just booooom, like a thief in the night.

With everything Nigerians are currently going through, this is heartless and insensitive on the part of everyone involved in this backdoor Tariff increment.. from the DISCos to the Regulators to those making this draconian policies, that seek to sniff life out of average Nigerians.

What band is that?

Honestly power companies doesn't even know what they are doing these days. 6k gives me less than 30kwh but my neighbor gets over 160kwh for the same 6k. Same band A

It's still too early to observe anything. Tulumbu promised to reduce your purchasing power and you dunce where pouring your smelly saliva everywhere shouting "on your mandate".

A man who has absolutely no clue about economy and governance, only tax and higher IGR.

They likely haven't classified that meter under Band A yet, which could be the reason for the issue. He might have bought the meter from someone and installed it himself, leading to the discrepancy. The authorities usually conduct inspections and should identify this in due course.

Anyone still complaining about Nigeria's wickedness and not doing anything about taking off, is just like someone complaining about a viper biting and injecting them with it's venom after rubbing it's fang on your nose.

Nigeria will never be good, cos we're more animals in form than humans.
