Somebody once said it's a shame that Nigerians pay to shop and park their cars at ikeja shoprite,local and international airports but vehemently kick against tolling federal roads at a period of fallen national resources.

Am ok with their view on availability of prepaid Metre before any electricity tariff increase,but on tolling, I think Nlc should show some understanding to the underpinnings of policy shift on the part of govt sometimes

If only they could provide us with prepaid meters and make the electricy a little bit more stable.
In my area for example, the PHCH guys are the ones blocking the distribution of Prepaid meters so they can fix the bill according to what they like. To make things worse, they do show up randomly and negotiate payment of a fraction of the doctored bill. It goes to show that the level of corruption.

Evry abt this country is useless..close to 1 year plus nw we hav nt seen any light in my area..i regret ever voting 4 this useless APC scam.

chinchum:
No point, they should rather fight hard to ensure prepaid meters are distributed at no cost, and the value can be recouped over the years. There are no service charges any longer on the prepaid meters.

The removal is a deception, I did a calculation with the new tariff and without fixed charge, I realized it's about 20% increase from what it was.
It's a scam they're presenting us.

APC SW elites replicating the disaster they inflicted their region through heavy taxation

Good move NLC.

May God rule your life the way the present Nigeria Petroleum Minister is ruling the Oil sector.

may God embezzle all your blessings just like Alison madueke embezzled Nigerian petroleum money

ok

Despite scanty electricity, somebody,somewhere delinbrately increase tarriff without recourse to peoples feeling. Is this the kind of change Nigerians want?

Why is Nigerian Labour Congress only involved in political issues. I have never heard about NLC intervention on issues such as; the maltreatment of employees by the Lebanese, Chinese and Indian companies.

Iam a Buhari suppoerter,but this tarrif of a thing is madness,in the month of oct/nov,i can count how many times i saw light in my area,at the end of november phcn supprised us with N13,000 in november alone,first bill in the new house,,on december 14,they show up again with december bill,and i asked,where do you guys got the billing from for i have not used light up to a month.
it is total madness,,now instead of hitting the streets to protest this madness,some people will soon appear here to blame buhari as if tarrif increase started under him.

Best case: prepaid meter

I support NLC
The removal of fixed charge is a scam, do ur calcation , its ,more expensive

Fashola, for all the adulations and purrings about how he supposedly transformed Lagos and what not, remains someone at the service of the elite.He's never been a populist-someone for the people.This elitist monster is now rearing its ugly head at the epicentre of governance:the federal level.
Is it for the want of imagination or what? You ask people to pay more for services they are being overcharged for for a start, that they don't get value for.It beats the imagination.

20% increase for you, it could be 20% decrease for others or more. It is not simply black or white.

The fixed charge used to be n750/monthly, so if you use avg of n1,000 supply monthly 1.e a total of 1,750, you will now pay 1,450(45% increase over 1,000), you can see in that scenario, it is a reduction in power cost.
if ur monthly avg consumption costs is 1,500, before removal of service charge, you paid 2,250, now u will pay 2,225,i.e about the same price.

The hike is exorbitant though despite no electricity.

NLC rejects everytin so that they will be appeased. How can 9ja move forward when we have many clogs on the wheel of progress.
My only concern is that I need prepaid meter, even if it means buying it. Am saying so because I pay 4 power that I don't use.

NLC should go and sit down na so dem call for useless strike in 2011 against fuel subsidy at end of the day na SureP we get which is Sure scam.I beg make dem packed well.

This is what NLC should be fighting, but i notice NLC always treat symptoms of the problem and leave the cause, shame on them. Prepaid meters availability will solve a great chunk of the power problems, NLC should pressure the govt to phase out old meters within a stipulated deadline, Nigerians will learn to conserve what it pays for via a prepaid system.

Not in all cases, it depends on your consumption rate.
The fixed charge used to be n750/monthly, so if you use avg of n1,000 supply monthly 1.e a total of 1,750, you will now pay 1,450(45% increase over 1,000), you can see in that scenario, it is a reduction in power cost.
if ur monthly avg consumption costs is 1,500, before removal of service charge, you paid 2,250, now u will pay 2,225,i.e about the same price.

Nigerians do not like to pay for govt services, and wonder why the service is inefficient, someone who spends N1,500 daily to fuel inefficient generator surprisingly will find it difficult to pay 10,000 monthly to power distribution coys to ensure efficient services

Una never see any thing yet.

Mere words, no action.

I use PPM and I know how terrible that fixed charge is.
Take it from me, NLC has nothing to fight here. In fact abolishing the fixed charge makes this increment a blessing on a lot of people. Do your calculations and you will realize that instead of increase in cost you will actually get savings in the cost of electricity depending on your consumption.

As for power supply, I put it to you, that this year is the best in my area.

Rubbish! They should go and sit down. What have we achieved with NLC?

Government is the one putting itself in trouble with this so-called labour union. If govt claimed that the electricity companies have been privatized, why is it involved in announcing the increase in tariffs? They are private companies, they should be left to handle their pricing subject to regulations.

The prices of electric cables and fittings that I buy from 'OkeyGod International' were jerked up by 30% last week just because he heard that dollar exchange rate has gone up to N280. Nobody will shout about that but if it had been govt that did that, we would be out on the streets. Traders jerk up prices anyhow during festivities with no whimper from anyone.

With low naira value, there is no way the power sector is going to survive on the old tariffs. Simple.

TechWalker007:
Buhari and Fashola have not invest one naira on power infrastructure since assuming office but they want to increase tariff.

The problem of power supply is that there's no power to supply, but the APC government is thinking how to collect more for power not supplied.


The removal is a deception, I did a calculation with the new tariff and without fixed charge, I realized it's about 20% increase from what it was.

Awon Ole..

The juju that they used on Nigerians will soon expire.
Last last, they will be stoned by Nigerians in public.

Can you pls help us with the calculation?

Tho I knew it immediately it was said, that if the thing is properly calculated, we'll be at the losing end.

Please help if you can.

Na mouth una dey.

iteleaye:
On a normal day, if the power supplied to my area was good, i would have said, make NLC consider am, but seeing the diabolic situation of power here, abegiii!!! NLC scatter everything, i get nothing to lose... Na kuku fold i dey fold my cloth now, so e no go pain me
