The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said the Nigerian government will sanction electricity distribution companies, DisCos, that fail to supply 20 hours of electricity to customers in the Band A category.
Adelabu who disclosed this on Tuesday via his X handle, said the recent tariff hike is targeted only at electricity consumers under the Band A category, getting at least 20 hours of power supply.
Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, last Tuesday increased the electricity tariffs of customers under the Band A category to 225 naira per kilowatt-hour from 66 naira kilowatt per hour.
