COVID-19 Lockdown: Gbajabiamila Meets NERC, Others Over Power Supply

Nigeria Headlines News

Nigeria Latest News, Nigeria Headlines

As Nigerians continue to clamour for better power supply especially following the stay-at-home order by the Federal government to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, has met with the Minister of Power, Sale Mamman and the management of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission .

While giving his opening remark, Gbajabiamila expressed dismay over the barrage of calls and messages from many Nigerians through his social media account, reacting to the protest video and therefore, called for prompt action. On his part, the Minister of Power, Mamman, highlighted the challenges encountered by power generating companies and the possible intervention of the leadership of the House of Representatives.

“The sum of N130 billion is what the government gives GENCOs to augment the shortfall of payments not fulfilled by Discos. We still have about N1.2 trillion payment shortfall in all. I have been begging the gas suppliers to please, in the interest of Nigerians, release gas to the GENCOs. The shortfalls are accruals from the problem of estimated billing, non-payment of bills by estimated customers, etc.

“All NERC Commissioners are in the Situation Room in our office monitoring GENCOs and Discos activities. We know the demand for this power during this lockdown is for residential, since most industries are on lockdown, so we are going to release a new guideline and sanction electricity companies that can’t show empathy during this period.”

femigbaja and his cohorts of political leeches shouldn’t be talking anything about “revenue shortfall” because the corrupt electricity companies have extorted millions of dollars from common Nigerians through the so-called estimated billing.
