The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission ,NERC, has approved the increase of electricity tariff for customers under the Band A classification.
At a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, NERC’s Vice Chairman, Musliu Oseni, said the increase will see the customers pay N225 kilowatt per hour from the current N66.
The customers under Band A are those who enjoy 20 hours of electricity supply daily.
Oseni said these customers represents 15 percent pf the 12 million electricity customers in the country.
He added that the commission had also downgraded some customers on the Band A to Band B due to non-fulfilment of the required hours of electricity provided by the electricity distribution company.
