Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) Promises Nigerians 2-Month Free Electricity
DisCos Promises Nigerians 2-Month Free Electricity.
Recall around Last week, the House of Representatives called for the supply of free electricity to Nigerians for two months as part of measures to cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the House, they were considering a second stimulus bill that will provide Nigerians with free electricity supply for two months.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, made the call at a meeting between the National Assembly leadership and the Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmad, and the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze, among others.
However, Electricity distribution companies (DisCos) promises to supply electricity to their consumers free of charge for two months.
This assurance was contained in a statement issued by the Executive Director, Research and Advocacy of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), Sunday Oduntan.
He said the gesture by the companies, which comes in the form of a “two-month rebate of free electricity to their customers nationwide” was in alignment with the federal government’s effort to assuage the pain on the people as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Oduntan, the spokesperson for the DisCos, said details of the implementation will be made public later as the decision was in recognition of the challenging effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the economic and daily lives of the customers.
“We are also completely aligned with the plans to ensure palliative measures, including free electricity supply to all Nigerians for two months, to make life easier, during the lockdown period,” the official said.
In view of this, in its given Order No: NERC/198/2020 on the transition to cost reflective tariffs in the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), NERC announces the decision to delay action for three months till June 30, 2020.
The commission said the decision was in compliance with President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to grant moratorium for certain federal government funded facilities throughout the period of the global economic crisis as a result of the current coronavirus pandemic.
