ELECTRICITY TARIFF INCREASE: COURT FINDS NERC, DISCOS GUILTY, VINDICATES CONSUMERS



The application made by the Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) for stay of action on the landmark judgment against electricity tariff hike has suffered a serious setback as the court has overruled the application.

Barrister Toluwani Yemi Adebiyi,  the plaintiff who sued the supply firms and the regulator at time had described the ruling as further victory for all Nigerian electricity consumers, saying it is class hypocrisy and share waste of time for NERC and electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to continue to swim against the tide, in spite of the inadequate power supply and lack of meters, leading to estimated billings which make Nigeria consumers to pay for gross darkness.
