Lol. Hike this , hike that. Same imbecilic arguments every time. They told us investors will rush to build refineries when the price of petrol is increased. Yet, close to two years, not even one. Has anybody noticed that they are alreading agitating for another rise in price to N165. They said when electricity tariffs are increased, investors will pump money into the sector. They almost doubled the unit cost in the last one year, yet things are worse. Bunch of confused human beings. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

This privatisation of PHCN is the biggest scam ever. Since privatisation, no single achievements, it is excuses most especially from th Discos. Imagine Discos rejecting scarce power. After mismanagement, they will always want to masses to pay from their incompetence. This privatisation has to be reviewed. 20 Likes |

Just imagine another hike in tarrif when we are yet to see a significant improvement over two years they increased it. What do these APC government take us for? They said let's increase the price of petrol so that foreign investors would rush in and build refineries that we haven't seen, they did same to the power sector yet we haven't seen even one albino. The is the worst scam I have ever seen.. May God judge all of una wey vote this government that don't take plight in the suffering of the poor masses. 3 Likes |

Same problem over and over again, there is no favourable condition for investors to thrives, all privatization of governments companies are hijacked by the same governments officials and politicians, stealing money from Paul to pay Peter, how can there be efficiency, improvement and development? The issue of this country is more of process issue than leadership, this people will milk those compaines dry and later screamed for lack of funds so government can take over an empty companies, like the case of nitel.... Hike or no hike, until all these interference stop, there no way forward. |

hike that has being implemented already, check your current per unit charge it's 30 something upward from 24 when they increased before... Disco will be "rejecting but still collecting estimating bill for that months they reject. if you refuse to pay it's for them to disconnect you, even cut and carry your wire. Fashola should find a way to enforce prepared meter to be given for all, then the payment for it will be deducted gradually a we recharge. The power sector will improve immediately, nobody will regret load" 6 Likes |

Chiefpriest1:Please stop spreading false information. Refineries take as long as 2-3 years to build. The subsidy was only removed April last year, less than a year ago. Dangote is building a refinery in Lagos that will cater to the supply needs of the entire West Africa, plus the refineries we already have are being refurbished. Nigeria should be a net exporter of Petroleum products by 2018/2019. We would have stable power now if those idiots in the creeks stopped blowing up pipelines. Gencos cannot generate the power they need because of gas constraints. Discos cannot supply the very little they are supplied with because they have not been able to invest in the distribution network because the banks are not giving them money again. Between paying for the power from the Gencos and investing in upgrading the distribution network, almost nothing is left. Banks are not giving credit because of the impact of the dollar scarcity on their books. There is dollar scarcity because the price of oil has plummeted, and also because those idiots in the creeks are blowing pipelines. Whichever way you look at it, those idiots in the creeks account for almost all the problems in our power, economic and financial sectors. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Senate Rejects Subsidy, Tariff Hike For Power Sector by RentALodge: 7:49am On Jan 26, 2017 |
Personally, I believe any tariff increase does not make sense. The point cannot be over-emphasised that, from the way the electricity companies –generating, transmitting, and distributing – have carried on since they took over the respective sectors of power supply, these organisations have shown they are ill-prepared for the task that they accepted and indeed paid substantial sums of money for. And to date, they have not proven their capability to manage their businesses in line with international best practices. Power supply remains abysmally inadequate and erratic, improving only marginally, and in fits and starts. Worse still, the companies have sustained a so-called fixed charge that extracts money from consumers as monthly payment for an installed meter which by the way, the consumer paid for in the first place; directly or otherwise. Customers have received no satisfactory explanation for these bills; and those who protest are simply told to pay first or be disconnected. Despite the assurances of the Discos on delivery of pre-paid meters, consumers are yet to feel the impact, as the processes seem to take eternity. Therefore, on what accounts are they asking us to pay more money? 1 Like
