The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has clarified that the outstanding electricity bills of landlords are not to be enforced on new tenants.

During the programme, which was streamed live by on NERC social media platforms, Shatti explained that there is an existing court judgment barring the imposition of landlords’ outstanding bills on new tenants.gathered that many new tenants were asked to pay the outstanding bills of their landlords in the country, with Distribution Companies disconnecting customers who failed to comply.

He also explained that “new tenants who spend their money to procure meters will be refunded through a mechanism that the NERC will come up with”. Capping means that Distribution Companies cannot charge unmetered customers more than they charge metered customers in any neighbourhood.
