For the period of the coronavirus pandemic, electricity distribution companies have promised to supply electricity to their consumers free of charge for two months
“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.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.
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. The order involved the review of the electricity tariffs chargeable by the 11 DISCos for all categories of consumers in the country, except the residential category .
And my phone will soon go off
No light in federal housing lugbe abuja for almost 24hours now.
The moment this was mentioned PHCN took our light and till today it hasn't been restored
Nigerian government 🤭 but I know we going to pay for it one way or the other. Wen we r not in free town.
Nigeria don't have electricity
How would prepaid customers benefit from this great benefits coming from nigeria government from the first time
Seeing is believing.
Even without transformer
Free electricity for 2 months, nice
Starting when? I just received my monthly bill today.
I might be wrong but they are the first private organization that has decided to give there services free and we are still complaining.
Well done despite all the challenges the discos are facing
This is when they won’t give us the small light they manage to share for us every two weeks again
Always coping from other smaller African countries. Yeye giant of Africa
If electricity is hardly available when paid for, what will happen when it is given for free. Let's brace up for 2 months of darkness. 😷😷🤷♀😎
Even when Nigerians paid for it,no light,is it now there will give or it is for government houses,and members of parliament
The power supply is even worse than before. B4 d lockdown it was one day on ,one day off,during d lockdown its now one day on,two days off
What about prepaid consumers? 🤔
Please you people should shut
Which DISCO? OfficialPHED
Where is the light? Useless promise
In other words, it's a refund of whatever you end up paying for 2 months, re-credited into your account. Its not a bad idea if you ask me, but the report was not clear of when the 2 month period would begin (or has it started already?)
It would have been better for them to promise uninterrupted electricity supply and we pay instead of promising free. Our problem really has never been payment but asking Us to pay for what we did not use.
just tell us when it start so we know how to deal with this idiot should they come near our door....
We are waiting
Is it the light that we don't have or what I don't understand
Hmm... How would those using pre-paid meter get it?
Liars
Keep deceiving yourselves and how will customers with prepaid meter benefit from this... 🙇
Giving electricity for free is one thing bringing the light is another.
Finally! But the problem now is steady supply
The two months electricity supply without payment in Nigeria due to covid 19 pandemic is a welcome development but will the light be available for usage?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 why is the Nigerian in me thinking this is a Greek gift?
Blackout looms
free light yafun yafun! hip hip, hurray!
A lot of transformers will start developing faults. Na naija we dey.
Commendable that's if it's not audio ooo.. Because since Nigeria is a fake country, fake promise is inevitable
Where is the electricity they promised to give? You don't promise what you don't have. Do they have it?
Iberiberism lives here. You guys want to give us nothing for free. Why not give the light and bill us for it? We don't want fee nothings!!
We don't want free light, just make sure there is constant light and we will pay. Simple
Pls someone should clarify this, if this is the case, what about those using prepaid meter?
No light here for 3 days straight now 🙄🙄🙄
Wasted promise as they can't even fit the transformer issue at my locality, Kwata , Jos south lga of plateau state for over 2months now no light
Hmmm audio light 😂😂
So will still go and ask for it
When we hardly see the light
Abeg no give us,just free us make we start our normal life
