The House of
Representatives Committee on Power has asked the Nigerian Electricity
Regulatory Commission to suspend the planned increase in electricity tariff.
The
committee Chairman, Aliyu Magaji, gave the directive during a meeting with the
Minister of Power and the NERC on the
rationale
behind the increase when the house had already passed a bill which criminalises
estimated billing.
NERC had
earlier announced that the increase would take effect from the 1st of April.
Meanwhile,
the House committee also condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive to
transfer the Nigerian Bulk
Electricity
Trading Company Limited from the Ministry of Power to the Ministry of Finance.
