In February 2024, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission issued an order to all 11 Discos to refund to all their unmetered consumers the money  they overbilled consumers and panalized the Discos various sums of money for violating their order No. NERC/2024/004-014 on capping of estimated bills. According to NERC,  Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has overbilled their consumers in Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger, and Abuja to the tune of N17.87bn within a span of seven months—February to September. 2023—money that they overbilled consumers. NERC further directed AEDC to refund or make credit adjustments to all the overbilled consumers on or before the end of March 2024 and published a list of beneficiaries of the consumers, which they refunded or made credit adjustments to in two major newspapers. But as of the time of writing this, AEDC has not carried out this NERC directive. This newspaper learned that a group of consumers in Lafia, under the name Lafia Concerned Electricity Consumers, wrote a letter to the AEDC regional manager in Keffi and copied the Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly and the NERC Lafia forum office, demanding full explanations over the non-implementation of NERC directives in Nasarawa State. The group is also requesting that AEDC furnish it with Nasarawa figures out of the N17.874 billion overbilled to consumers. We joined this concern of electricity consumers in Lafia by calling on the AEDC to expedite action on this issue. This is a very grievous matter that must not be swept under the rug. For a long electricity consumers in Nasarawa State have been cheated by AEDC through arbitrary billing. We must commend NERC for coming out boldly to demand the correction of these injustices done to electricity consumers in Nigeria, especially those that are without prepaid meters. Equally, we are calling on the state government, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, and all stakeholders to come out and speak against the exploitation of electricity consumers in Nasarawa State by the AEDC.
