In a suit filed before Justice Muslim Hassan, the group argued that “the implementation of the purported minor review of the Multi-Year Tariff Order will create unquantifiable hardship and damages on the Nigerian electricity consumers.
In an affidavit deposed to by Theodora Ubabunike, a lawyer, the human rights group said, “It will amount to a great injustice to impose arbitrary electricity tariff on Nigerian electricity consumers.

NERC approves hike in electricity tariff from January | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News“The commission, however, based adjustments in the tariff, on the relevant data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics such as average monthly inflation rate of 11.3 per cent, the exchange rate of N309.97.” It is very unfair to Nigerians that NERCNG should increase tariff with the present lack of adequate infrastructure for power supply by Discos especially enugudisco. Even b4 d fall in generation we hardly have supply. Also responds to repairs is below 10%. Bottom line:These guys have a goldmine before them but aren't making as much profit as they'd want to because of their inefficiency .As always the case in Nigeria,hit the soft target harder -simply up tariff;offering even poorer services but making even higher profit.
