Tinubu’s Govt Working On Metering Policy For Nigerians – NERC

The National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has said that the administration of President Bola Tinubu would soon unveil a metering policy that would ensure mass metering of every household in the country by electricity distribution companies.

The commission explained that the federal government was committed to improving the electricity supply to homes and organisations in a bid to fulfil its renewed hope agenda for the citizens and grow the nation’s economy.

The NERC Vice Chairman, Dr Musiliu Oseni who spoke at the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti state capital during the commissioning of Ado-Ekiti Forum Office of NERC, said metering of homes was of great concern to the commission.

He explained that the new office would serve as a complaints centre for citizens, especially electricity consumers on challenges faced by the distribution company, assuring them that all identified issues would be promptly resolved.

Oseni revealed that the commission has set up a five-man committee in the office that will serve as an arbiter, noting that citizens have the right to petition the headquarters if not satisfied with the resolutions from the state office.

According to him, NERC was committed to achieving its core mandate of regulating and controlling activities in the electricity sector, calling on the consumers to play their roles by paying for services rendered by the distribution company.

He said, “Every Nigerian deserve to have meter and the present government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu is working on metering policy to have mass metering for everyone in the country.

“We are aware that the Ondo and Ekiti axis have distribution challenges relating to electricity and we are here to bridge the gap and this office will listen and resolve all issues from the customers.

“We are aware of our mandate to ensure that distribution companies do not subject consumers to unwarranted stress and punishment. They can always come here to lodge their complaints and the 5-man committee will do justice.”
