Electricity consumers warn against tariff increase

                            

Electricity consumers have urged power distribution companies to comply with the 50 per cent slash in power tariff announced last month by Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission.

Although NERC had explained that the tariff cut was only for industrial and commercial customers and not residential consumers, the association said it was a welcome relief for the affected groups.

The customers, who spoke under the aegis of the Electricity Consumers Association of Nigeria, warned that any attempt to increase the tarrif would be resisted.
