Reconnection Fee - Phcn, Disc, Genco And Co.....daylight Robbery by samadeyemi007(op): 4:46pm On Jun 06, 2016
This has been the menace for long. But lets look at it from this angle.

Can you first pay fine before you can patronize a store or supermarket because you bought a market from them sometimes ago and you don't come back for weeks to transact with them ?

Can you first pay fine because you decided to pardon a company that fumbled when you transact with them last time instead of them to. apologize to you ?

Can you first pay fine before you reconnect with a firm that gave you very low quality service the last time you dealt with them ?

In all the above it is clear such companies and firms need to tender apology to you before you come back to them.

IN NIGERIA that is NOT so !
Are we sane to still be paying RECONNECTION FEE to PHCN, DISCO, GENCO, IBEDC, LEDC etc now that such are private companies ?

Something is wrong with Nigerians and SO MANY things are WRONG with our Minister For POWER, # RAJI Fasola.

Who audits the account of reconnection fees, do we have a good record of that ?

Mr Minister must be a beneficiary, that must account for huge corruption like Dasukigate.

* N35,000 for prepaid meter, customers will buy it, poles, wires of different kinds, pay for installations AND power company will claim ownership without any compensation to the customers, courtesy our senseless political leaders who are the role models because of looting. They come to your house & disconnect the cables you bought with your hard-money, most times when you are not around.... Should this continuehuh

I doubt if you will be disconnected if you are using a prepaid meter.

More so, I doubt if you will be disconnected if you are not owing.

Reconnection fee applies only to defaulting consumers who were disconnected on the ground that they REFUSED to pay for electricity consumed.
