Cold reason for possible inflation of the bills? Most people are not paying or are not paying enough. So, bills are inflated for consumers who do pay.

(Also, the 'inflated bills' commentary is code for 'electric power should be free of charge'. Let's not lie).

Metering does not solve the billing problem.

As at last year, 68% of metered consumers bypass their meters.

SmartPolician:
MTN should take a cue from Starlink and deploy satellite technology for internet services. This is 2026 - stop giving APC a reason to take us backwards. MTN has made enough money in Nigeria and Africa to deploy that technology

nairalanda1:
Yes I was expecting this comment.

In return, I'll have you know that discos need about 10-15 trillion naira in funding yearly to fix the power problem. One trillion does not cut it.

Add the fact that 68% of metered customers bypass the meters and 40% overall don't pay..and that trillion looks like small change

Power minister is incompetent for maintaining price controls on the sector. As ordered by his master.

nairalanda1:
No, the cold reason is that it is government policy and the policy of the masses to not pay a cost reflective tarrif for power

To produce a kwh of power costs 230 naira . Or more. Most Nigerians don't pay that.

Add the fact that most Nigerians do not pay at all which leads to discos running at a loss and rejecting power from gencos for the simple fact that they can't pay the gencos.

And then there is corruption, part of it via rip off schemes like estimated billing which is done to keep the discos afloat.

And your government is running away from the problem

helinues:
I can bet it that you don't even know what this is all about but as an opposition supporters, na so una dey shook mouth into things you no know

Is Nigeria really an "Energy Giant," or are we just scratching the surface? 🇳🇬⚡️
According to the International Energy Agency, Nigeria is the 5th largest producer of electricity on the continent.
Nigeria’s position among Africa’s top five producers is a profound paradox: despite being a "top" generator, defined by chronic energy poverty. While South Africa and Egypt use their massive outputs to sustain industrial economies, Nigeria’s similar total output is diluted by a population of 240 million, leaving the average citizen with 20 times less power than their South African counterparts.
This creates a "Giant with Clay Feet" scenario where Nigeria’s grid provides just 170 GWh per million people, a staggering contrast to the 3,522 GWh available in South Africa or the 2,001 GWh in Algeria.
If you could solve one part of the energy chain: Generation, Transmission, or Distribution, which would it be?
Let’s discuss the future of the grid in the comments! 👇

Obi will have answer to your question, he was a chieftain of PDP and even contested as VP under same party, the party some people slaved for for 23years

Tinubu will silence the opposition with his excellent performance.

Many who have never experienced development since they were born are now seeing real infrastructural development.

The cry of neglect and marginalization by the past government leading to them running to other regions will subside now that Tinubu is taking development into their hoods and villages. In the next election they will know performance is not about reeling out figures and regurgitating archaic economic theories.

If e no dey, e no dey, if they cant make impact in small state, they don't deserve bigger responsibility. Follow who sabi road.

This is for discerning mind who understands economic indices and not for the follow follow who only echo beer parlour gist spread by illiterates and graduates of miracle centres

FreeStuffsNG:
And you are in Band D and E and know the 'truth '?
Many of you are so dishonest in your feedback that it beggars belief to think of what you really want aside bad for every one.

I know folks in that band and know they pay far less and recieve electricity for certain period of the day and it's constant. I equally know people who protested being moved to band A because they don’t want 24 hour
electricity.

Come to my area in Lagos and see what Nigerians are going through..

An area that could boost of up to 20 hours power supply daily presently is not sure of seeing 10 hours of power supply monthly..

Funny thing is this mess started when Adelabu became the minister.

Electricity supply has remarkably improved so much that it's now 24 hour constant for weeks!

Stop this unpatriotic act of running down the country to satisfy your itchy ears for bad news. When government does well, you will not die if you acknowledge it.

zoedew:
I hope an incompetent staff will not again turn the wrong valve and damage the equipment.

kettykin:
What exactly have they not done , some months ago a particular yoruba film producer decided to narrate the Igbo apprenticeship system on movies, I have forgotten the name of the movie and the whole igbo nation kept quiet as if nothing was happening. Later an igbo girl (uzoart)tried to do an art exhibition titled Owambe and all hell was let loose.

There was even an obi of Lagos whose only crime is that he tried to raise money for a cultural and village centre in festac , he has been arrested but the same thing is being done by yorubas in the east and no body is raising dust.

Please yorubas do your very very very very worst



Let the yorubas do their very very very worse please

PDPdestroyer:
I don’t know of other parts of the country but here, power is no longer an issue since we moved to band A. Na you go tire for light sef

Kastonkastroll:
And so? This is purely a promotion advertisement for the super eagles and anybody can do it during this afcon as long as you have the money.

Every little thing una don run go post for social media just to get engagements. What a generation what a time.

Miramonica:
Why can't FG and national assembly decentralize power generation, let every state generate it's power for her citizens and sell excess power to neighbouring states.


If power generation and distribution is decentralized, power outages will be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Everytime system collapse...nawa for this disgraced country.

Putindbutt:
I pity wailers and Bitter Obidients, you would soon realize that Tinubu na your father's father.
