happney65: No part of the world where individuals/citizens purchase their prepaid/post paid meter except in Africa and customers don't get charged for it. The government lack transparency, that's why they have the room to steal comfortably. |

happney65: The Discos do not want prepaid metering to work because estimates billing is better revenue wise for them. They can thus get customers to pay for their inefficiencies. I agree with you that Government awarding contracts to buy prepaid meters for consumers is a waste of public funds. It is just an avenue to loot. All they just have to do is make a law that no consumer can be forced to pay for estimated billing again until the discos supply any prepaid meter the consumer has paid for. There hundreds of thousands of consumers that have paid for prepaid meters and the discos are yet to supply the meters and still charging them on estimated billing. The Discos are in the electricity business for their own gain and not public good. It is the consumers that Government has a responsibility to protect and not the discos. If the people running the discos do not know the business, then let them fail and others take their place, not continue to waste public funds subsidizing private businesses. |

happney65: Your example here is flawed. Do you buy the pumps at Fuel stations when you go to fuel your car? In the era of estimated billing each transformer had a meter inbuilt.....customers don't pay for the meter. Even when you go to buy frozen foods or any other weighed product you do not buy the scales used in serving you. Think through this. |

The public had always bought the meter in the past, yet it will not be made available after payment is the problem! The first was the Credit Advancement Payment for Metering Implementation (CAPMI). NERC passed this regulation in 2013. A willing customer would pay the DisCo within its area for the procurement of meter. This will be repaid over time through deductions from their monthly bills. But owing to certain irregularities, NERC stopped it, re-introduced it, and then finally stopped it. In came MAPS in April 3rd, 2018 thru appointed 3rd party provider/companies. They failed at it again. Oct. 2020, World Bank stepped in to provide $500m ($155m of it dedicated for meters) yet we still don't have. By 2023, NERC said a single-phase meter will now cost N81,975.16k, instead of the previous price of N58,661.69k. Similarly, three-phase meter was increased to N143,836.10k from N109,684.36k. Since 2013 till now 2024 - still talking about same meters!!! are we to live all our lives not seeing Nigeria develop forever because of mindless policies? it is a good idea to let the public buy it themselves and the lingering problem disappears. If one can afford to build and furnish a house, buying meter yourself will not be an issue...it is cheaper than your AC or big generator na. People are blaming govt because they are making it a big deal that it is not... badoh: |

Talking about free meters for Band A customers then what bring third party ie MAP in the discussion. This is deliberate to confuse Nigerians. Nevertheless the funds is ablosuluetly meager. We pray the money are not source from recent loan acquired from WB ie $5 Bilion borrowed purportedly for the aquision of meters. |

What is so special about electricity meters? I can't really understand, every now and then, meter this, meter that. A very simple technology but we have made it a mystic. Water management corporations and bodies all over the country install meters without noise and seamlessly. But "NEPA" meter na trouble and stories all the time. Tufiakwa! 1 Like |

happney65: I agree ... the FG should not be involved in the operation of any business. Electricity should be controlled by the State .... not Government. The State ... like the FG should not be involved in the operation of any business. Electricity should be provided by the Private Sector .... but regulated by the State... as done abroad. Without regulations ... the companies will hold the masses to ransom. The State sets the price per Kwh... if it needs to be raised the State has to approve. This present matter.... Government providing free meters.... to measure what? The billions they're 1 Like |

Who is fooling who? Corrupt civil servants will still demand bribes to give the ‘free’ meters. These civil servants , their families & friends will still be the ones to complain about how the country is not working. |

This is to shut down the noise coming from the tariff band A customers and right activists over the tariff increment on the band. A government that is always working for the cabal at the detriment of the poor... Another ₦21b into the hands of the rich to massage their egos. Why not instruct/order all the DISCOs to meter all Nigerians within a space of time at a discount if not entirely for free...? Wouldn't that have served as a better palliative than the sharing within your party members that you tagged palliative. Let Nigerians (esp the poor, pay exactly what they consumed of electricity)... LET THE POOR BREATH. |
