A senior lawyer, Mr Joe Agi, SAN, has sued the National Electricity Regulatory Commission and Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc at the Federal High Court, Abuja for allegedly increasing his electricity tariff by 230 per cent.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the applicant had listed NERC, Minister of Power, Attorney-General of the Federation and AEDC as 1st to 4th respondents respectively. He said he was alarmed by the development but later discovered that the NERC and AEDC had created what they called bands in the country, wherein NERC issued what it called the April 2024 Supplementary Order to the Multi-Year Tariff Order 2024.
Agi faulted the announcement made by NERC’s chairman, Musiliu Oseni, on April 1, wherein he said “only 15% of the electricity consumers in the country who consume 40% of the nation’s electricity are the ones affected.”Hoodlums kill military commander responding to village attack in Katsina
