| What Is The Reason For Non-Availability Of Prepaid Meter? by futurism: 8:28pm On May 13, 2018 |
I have been thinking about this for some time now and I would like people in the know to help with answer. Why aren't there prepaid meter for supply? Is it politics or there really are non available for use? I mean did they stop the supply of the prepaid meter because they make more money from houses that do not have the meter or it is true that meter are not really available? Please if anybody has an idea why people can not get prepaid meter from power companies, please answer 21 Likes 3 Shares |

This is the kind of question which we should be asking This is the kind of conversation we should be having everyday This question is issue-based We should be asking our government questions that are specific and measurable How many prepaid metres did Buhari meet in May 2015? How many prepaid metres are available to customers now (May 2018)?  How many prepaid metres will be available by May 2019? Let's not make it tribal or political party based. Estimated billing is cheating and amounts to corruption Enough is enough! Why should supplying metres which customers will PAY FOR become a problem? This is the kind of thread that should be on the front page, rather than stories of cleavage baring slay queens  futurism: 206 Likes 17 Shares |

People. Should go through the link below. We are fuucckked in this country. I can get anybody a prepaid meter but seeing the kind of evil men at the helm of power supply frustrating the availability of the meter, I might be arrested if found out and how to integrate the meter into their system is another hurdle so that you can recharge it. https://www.icirnigeria.org/investigation-how-electricity-distribution-officials-extort-customers-in-need-of-prepaid-meter/ 6 Likes 1 Share |

OK,,here is what I learnt from a PHCN official: He said it has come to the notice of the PHCN that some people have known different ways to manipulate the meter to minimize the credit usage & work even when there's no credit on it. Well, this could have been leaked by any of their operators who install them. Secondly, all I could deduce from all the story he said was the fact that they could no longer cheat those who make use of the prepaid meters. They no longer pay for what they do not use  futurism:Considering your own pocket, you may think it is too cheap. Not everyone can afford it even at cheaper rate. While some guys do that for just fun, there are some who think it is a better way to pay PHCN back for cheating people. Considering all that, PHCN might not release the prepaid meters soon until they secure means to make sure they don't run at loss 10 Likes

DISCOs Must Go On The 2nd November 2018 The power distribution was handed over to the new buyers on the 1st November 2013. The share purchase agreement says the government can take it back if the performance of the buyers is not satisfactory after five years and that will be on the 2ND NOVEMBER 2018. The basis of performance evaluation were clearly stated in the agreement signed between FG and the Discos, and Discos were expected to complied with those clauses, but they have violated virtually all. Firstly, they were asked to metered all customers within three years (2016) and today more than 70% are yet to have their prepaid meters. Hence, indiscriminate and over estimated billings they were are asked to tackled with the deployment of these prepaid meters within the five years become worse as more than 50% of the customers are still on estimated charges. Secondly, while signing the agreement in 2013 they agreed to reduced both technical and commercial losses by upgrading and building infrastructures in their network, they vehemently refused to do that, as those losses are been pushed to consumers in form of over billings for what they never consumed. Today, we are generating above 7000MW but the Discos refuses to distributes purely because of their inefficiency as in many instances rejects allocations from transmission, hence keeping Nigerians in darkness. Because of the facts that they don't have an adequate experience and at the same time coming from nowhere, they are all bearing Disco based on their area of coverage, e.g Kano Disco, Abuja Disco and so on.. Furthermore, because of the liquidity issues, they will never be allowed to have a business name like what we have in telecom sector. If we generate 1,000,000MW today there will be no adequate supply because those guys that called themselves new buyers are inexperience and never bought it for service delivery. President Muhammadu Buhari has the legal right to ask these guys to go on the 2ND NOVEMBER 2018 as specified in the agreement and bring on board experience investors that has the technical, financial and competent manpowers to make the sector workable for the overall interest of all. Failure to send these rogues and their agents from the power sector on the 2ND NOVEMBER 2018, PMB will not only fail in the sector but all other sectors that depend on power to strive.. Mr President MUST do the needful on the 2ND NOVEMBER 2018 to save the power sector and as well positively change the history of power supply in Nigeria. 46 Likes 10 Shares |
