House kicks against increase in electricity tariff

The House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to halt any plan to increase electricity tariff by 100 per cent in the country.

This followed the unanimous adoption of a motion under matters of urgent public importance by Rep. Aliyu Madaki.
Moving the motion, Madaki said that the plan by Discos to increase electricity tariff from N24 to N50 per kilowatt for residential consumers was not in the interest of Nigerians.
He expressed worry that epileptic and erratic power supply by distribution companies had persisted and affected both households and commercial activities.
Members added that the planned new tariff will amount to disobedience of an injunction by the Federal High Court, Lagos restraining National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) from any increase in electricity tariff.
In his contribution, the House Majority Leader,Femi Gbajabiamila said there was need to review the sale of Discos to private individuals.
Gbajabiamila added that the companied lacked the capacity to deliver quality services to Nigerians.
In his ruling, the Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara referred the matter to the ad hoc committee to investigate the sale of power assets
The committee was also mandated to investigate the rationale behind the last increase in electricity tariff by Discos commensurate with their investment in the power sector.
