Elumelu argued that any increase in electricity tariff would worsen “the already excruciating financial burden on homes, personal businesses, companies and the overall productive sectors.”
It had added that the order also determined the minimum remittances payable by the Discos in meeting their market obligations based on the allowed tariffs. He assured Nigerians that the minority caucus would continue to protect their interest “by monitoring prevailing tariff on electricity and levies on other essential services in the country to ensure that Nigerians are not overburdened.”
An analysis by The PUNCH had showed that the Federal Government’s agency had actually increased tariffs payable by all the major classes of power consumers. Commercial customers in the C3 category under this Disco, who currently pay N24.63/kWh, will start paying N38.41/kWh, representing a hike of N13.78.
Commercial customers in the C3 category for Ibadan, Kano and Port Harcourt Discos, who currently pay N27.11/kWh, N22.71/kWh and N25.14/kWh, will, from April, pay N42.03/kWh, N40.27/kWh and N48.39/kWh, respectively.

Panel indicts Okorocha, reps over N6b ISOPADEC funds fraud | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World NewsImmediate past Governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha has been indicted for misappropriating over N6b funds allocated to the state’s Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC). Okorocha will forever remain the worst thing that happened to ndi IMO. The job of a media aide is to confirm or clarify a given state of affairs on behalf of his/her principal. Saying “you are stupid...I said you are very stupid” is again, the Nigerian way of deflecting from the issue. I am wondering why people from the Eastern region are being probed and some already incarcerated - a distinct instance, OUKtweets None from the Northern region, neither from the Western, nor from the Southern!
