I don't know where the National Electricity Regulatory Commission got their figure of 116.18 kilowatts per hour.My bill for the same month is 180.77kw per hour.This means the government don't have accurate figure.

How did you arrive at your own figure?

I support Adelabu on this. All subsides in the power sector should be removed

From generation,transmission,distribution and others should be removed. As in the government should just be monitoring the sector. They should hands off completely just like the telecommunications sector.

Because the nonesense that happens in Nigeria,I am not sure it happens anywhere around the world. It is in Nigeria that wè the customers buy poles,transformers and the likes. All that rubbish should stop if the sector is truly privatised

Even if the they, the nonsense would still continue.

Last week, the transformer in my street develop fault and and we ask to provide money to fix it. You own and business and yet task the consumers to provide money on fixing your facilities.

I give up on Nigeria a very long time. It funny when I see Nigeria shall be great online. Maybe in another realm.

God what is our offence by giving us ds kind of wicked leaders in nigerian. The present govt has nothing to offer to us, instead of the govt providing for us, we are the ones giving the govt via huge tax and tariff. Please God come and save nigerians from ds wicked leaders

I once proudly said that the Nigerian government can not tax poverty but I was wrong. We will be squeezed dry, just so enough that we can survive but not live.

You cant tell your MDAs , and government establishments to pay up their electricity debts, instead you use that money to install solar panels and want the masses to pay up your incurred debts by increase. There will be a revolution in the energy sector, this extortion is not sustainable .

I think the govt has a plan to kill all local industries that rely on power, Solar panels cannot power industrial growth this is a known fact .

You dont use solar panels to drive industrial growth , you have to go nuclear. But some clown want people in Africa to use solar panels.

We have coal, hydro power why waste money and land for useless solar panels which cant even sustain lighting for 6 hours straight?

This people are just completely irresponsible, after all the ridiculous hike the minister still has the effrontery to claim insufficient fund

Is Nigeria the only country running electricity, it is begining to sound like No amount is enough or will ever be enough to guarantee power supply ...

if you naa no sabi, leave the business for those wey really sabi naw

you get it ,because whatever they say ,nobody challenges we just accept no matter how ridiculous, after band A,band B etc dichotomy he is still talking about non existence subsidy
By now it should be clear to everyone that there is no subsidy anywhere, they are just doing price increase to match their revenues or profit projections, that is why the thing is unending

Seriously. I am paying about N227 per kwh and still it is not cost reflective? Is the government seeking to fund their N4 trillion debt by overcharging us?

Meanwhile I'm so happy I have an adequate solar power system now. Their incompetencies will not stop me from enojoying uninterrupted electrical power.

These people don't know the suffering they are putting on the masses even Aso rock has to waste public funds to install solar.

if u guys don't know what ur doing u better resign.

Imagine! Fuel subsidy, electricity subsidy, health subsidy and many things that can benefit the common man are all withdrawn by these thieving rogues to feather their own nest.

Racoon, let's forget politics for a moment...and I am not backing APC.

This year's budget was based on oil being 75 dollars per barrel.

For several weeks now, oil has been hovering around 60 dollars per barrel, and may even go lower.

That means difficultes in funding the budget and by extension, subsides for anything.

Plus, we have been subsidising power for decades, and it has not improved power supply at all, yes. (Even under your beloved GEJ, power supply was bad. Let's not deny it).

Since power was privatised, we have been paying subsides, and essentially preventing the power sector from making a profit.

Now, with falling oil prices, money for subsides will be hard to come by this year. Either tarrifs are raised, or we go and take loans, and nobody complains about it.

Ebubu2:
I use 4,000 naira prepaid a month .

You can't pay that amount on estimated bill, it'd be close to 20,000

So, it's from that tiny, air-less room you defend the use.less APC, Umahi and Terribu
Nawaoo

SmartPolician:
The problem is not prepaid meter. The problem here is that people are too broke to pay for light. Nigerians are poor... minimum wage is terrible. Even if you provide prepaid meters, people will still bypass them because they cannot afford to pay for power.

And the minister is advocating for increased tarriffs

#4 Trillion Naira Im debt..

Why are dey too agreeing to run on debt if not that something is fishy.

Let's start No Money No Electricity.

Nigerian can eat their future in a single sitting

227 is cost reflective. But you are among the minority. The majority does not pay that high. (I am on band B and pay less than that). That is a big reason why the power sector does not have the money to give us better power supply.

😂😂😂😂 when you are so brain unalived to think your only job is to increase electricity tarrif as minister of power. No road map, no strategic plan, no audit, just period increment without commensurate improvement. APC na scam.

Then crash the NEPA let everybody look for power supply for themselves.

Because the power sector is largely privatised. All the power minister has to do is oversee the grid and the subsides.

The grid itself has been under renovation by Siemems since 2019, and the renovation is supposed to take several years.

But generation and distribution are private. That means that if we need a new gas power plant, it would have to be a genco that would raise the funds to build it, and liase with the government about supplying the power to the grid.

But since most Nigerians do not pay cost reflective tarrifs, gencos cannot attract investment and financing for new power stations. Hence the problem.

Power minister cannot order for a new power plant. That has been the case since 2013 when power was privatised. If it was 2001, when a new power plant was commisioned by the then government, then yeah.

Everytime u have a new sheriff specialist in doubling or manipulating the system. Ayam tired..

Most people on Band A and Band B are paying above 150 naira per kilowatt hour. I wonder where the subsidy is coming in. Or is it only the Northeners that are enjoying this yet again?

Incompetent people in this Tinubu government..it's a pity

This apc people are vampires sucking on the blood of innocent nigerians

....

But I don't blame them nigerians are unserious

Should there be any person that will vote for apc again, still you will find in the name of receiving 5k, religion or tribe

OndoNews:
https://thenationonlineng.net/brace-for-cost-reflective-tariffs-minister-tells-nigerians/

This article suggests that the current N209/kwh for band A is cost reflective. if that is the case, the best way to restructure the tariffs is to have a tiered system where the first 100kwh consumed in a month is a bit cheap to cater for very low income folks, while from 100kwh per month to 999kwh per month is at the current band A price for everybody. Then above1000kwh per month is like N250, so that these ones are subsidizing the low income folks.

It will also encourage those who use electricity unnecesaarily above 1000kwh per month to reduce consumption.

of course all ive said here is for residential consumers.

What's stopping them from privatising completely like telecoms

The gencos being owned 4trn who are the owners, you think it's ordinary citizens, everyone knows who owns telecoms, how do they come to such bill, who did the auditing

Cos they are peddling one humongous around means it's true

It's just an alibi to increase

It's an endless cat race ooo... This electricity scam called subsidy... I remember last year they said electricity subsidy is gone...!

So what are they now saying...?

Bookmark this page come back later u will find out they.. will repeat same words to confuse the gullible Nigerians...

By the time this government finish with Nigeria una go beg GEJ to come back

Proverbs 12 : 10

even the mercy of the wicked is cruel

Haba! You people should pity Nigerians nau! New tarrifs all the time! From telecom to power!

Nobody is even talking about the high charges by Nigerian telecom operators these days! Data charges have become so exorbitant that browsing the Internet is now a luxury for many! A developing country like Nigeria should make information so cheap and affordable for those of us seeking knowledge online!

God! What manner of leaders have you chosen to punish us with these days!

This is the kind of thing Nigeria youths should protest against not VDM riding Prado while you ride legs with 5k in your account your promised to close. Nigeria youths need to come together and fight the common enemy, T-pain
