Eleven electricity distribution companies have been given till April 11, 2024, to refund customers wrongly billed at the new rate.gave the directive in a document signed by Mr Abba Terab, the DGM, Market Competition and Rates for the commission.

3. All DisCos shall set up a portal by 10th April 2024 on their website that allows all customers to check their current Bands by entering their meter or account numbers. The lawmaker, who represents Borno South in the upper legislative chamber, described the timing as wrong, maintaining that Nigerians were yet to recover from the removal of fuel subsidy.

The lawmaker also wondered why such an important decision was taken without necessary consultation with the National Assembly as representatives of the people. “To put this fresh responsibility on them is very unfair. Nigerians are yet to recover from the fuel subsidy removal of last year. Many Nigerians are still grappling with the ripple effects that the removal had on them. To now come up with this is wrong.
