The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has mandated that the 11 power distribution companies in the country deliver 715,000 prepaid electricity meters in 2024.
Despite having around 13 million registered electricity customers, only five million have been metered in the over 10 years.
The NERC issues a directive to electricity companies to deliver 715,000 prepaid electricity meters to Nigerians in 2024.
The directive was issued in order to address the critical issues of estimated billing suffered by many Nigerians Households.
The continuous arbitrary billing of eight million users amidst the inability of utility companies to provide meters to end-users leads to the issue of the directives.
