What I Noticed During Mass Metering In Aba by jmoore(op): 6:38pm On Nov 04, 2025

Currently, there is mass metering going on by Abapower as the company wants to connect every customer to prepaid meter.

Most people are turning off the bulbs that is outside.

Electric stoves have been packed in cartons. In fact, any trader that deals on electric stove in Aba should better change strategy cos it is no longer profitable to sell electric stove in Aba.

Secondly, there is improvement in power supply in areas already covered with prepaid metre. Reason? Darkness is automatic loss for the power company. The era of people paying for darkness with estimated billing is gradually being phased out in Aba.

I am on Band C Abapower. The current tariff is around 190 naira per kWh. It should be higher for higher bands.

God bless Alex Otti.....this man has single handedly transformed Abia state in less than 2 years of governance. This is what good and sincere leadership can achieve. Abia state is no longer the dirty state without direction....its now the leader in good governance and quality leadership.

This is a bit of what Nigeria would have enjoyed if Peter Obi's mandate was not stolen in 2023. God will show mercy sha, its well cry

No. Bands are allotted areas, consumer zones perceived as lower, middle or higher income. It is essentially an exchange between duration and tariff.

Most houses in my area are on prepaid, so whenever we have power issues, they resolve it in 30 seconds. Shows these electricity companies know what they are doing.

God bless Otti!

And one demented homo sapien somewhere was saying that by all means come 2026, Otti will be booted out of office by one yeye political party compelling the not do Wells to join their party.
Otti has already won the heart of abians, he has done his campaign already with projects that are touching lives of his subjects, no be talk talk governor, na governor with doings.

The way the newer smart meters work I think there is a possibility that people can choose the bands they want, that is the number of hours of electricity they will get since these meters are remotely monitored and can be remotely turned on and off.

Bands are attributed by major feeders, a single feeder can cover parts of a entire local goverment, and many parts of town. Its not by neighbourhood , street or transformer per say

I noticed something sickening in that meter distribution. They can give one meter to a plaza that has 12 shops. It's a serious problem because they all have different power consumption rate. It is causing serious wahala in Aba.

Alex Otti did not contribute a single thing to electricity in Aba or anywhere in Abia.

No mind these guys. They just lie and attribute everything to Otto even when the guy is not doing Jack.

Private initiative — They say Otti
FG construct road — They say Otti.
