Reps Order Reversal of Tariff Hike for Band A Customers

 

The House of Representatives on Tuesday demanded an immediate reversal of the recent tariff increase for Band A customers by the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the distribution companies (DISCOs).

The resolution followed the adoption of a report presented by the House Committee on Power.

Committee Chairman, Victor Nwokolo emphasised that the new tariff is unaffordable for many Nigerians.

The Committee recommended restoring the previous tariff structure, a motion that was approved by the Committee of the Whole and subsequently passed.

Also, the House has mandated a further investigation into the reasons behind the tariff hike.
