“Since power supply has increased, consumers have to pay more for the supply. Maybe a consumer who was paying N3,000 monthly before now, has to triple the payment. But Nigeria consumers will still want to pay the same amount he used to pay when the power generation was low; this is wrong calculation.”
The Managing Director of NEMSA, Mr. Peter Ewesor, said that the agency had visited the house where the fire incident happened to carry out proper investigation.
He said that the company would suspend the installation of the meters based on NEMSA’s directive which had created doubts in the minds of customers.
Abaribe also told the agency to ensure compulsory testing of all electricity equipment before they are certified for installation in any part of Nigeria.
