No tariff hike for customers with less than 12 hours of daily power supply — NERC

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has directed the electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) not to increase tariffs of customers enjoying less than 12 hours of daily power supply.

”Anyone who is enjoying less than 12 hours of electricity must not have their tariffs increased.
