THE Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has spoken against any electricity tariff hike by the DISCOs as proposed.

According to him, any such increase should be done after the proposed amendment to the law criminalizing estimated billing has been passed into law.

Gbajabiamila made the observation while speaking on the proposed increase on his Facebook page on Saturday. He said: “There is no guarantee that after any electricity tariff hike the Discos will not continue with the nefarious practice of bill estimation or provide uninterrupted power supply.“I believe the NASS should ensure that any increase in electricity tariff should first of all the cost reflective and not just a whimsical increase with no empirical basis.

“I intend to meet and discuss this sequence and other conditions with the Attorney General or the Federation and other relevant authorities.” the Speaker said.
