Power Minister Expresses Displeasure Over Estimated Bills

The Minister for Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has expressed displeasure over the current estimated bills being issued to electricity consumers in the country.
Fashola, made this known at a briefing on the activities of his ministry in the last two years, pointing out that the electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) could perform better by ensuring that all consumers were metered.
According to Fashola, “they have metered some consumers, they have not metered all and I think we should be careful as choose our language… we are not pleased with the number of people who are yet to be metered. We are still not pleased that people are receiving estimated bills and we think that DISCOs can do more”.
He continued, saying, “the power sector reformation programme we talked about it also addressing that. It is a combination of policies and actions to be implemented by government, GENCOs, DISCOs, TCN and even the lawmakers. Everybody is involved”.
He noted that the sector had experienced setbacks occasioned by pipeline vandalism, and explained that despite the setbacks, the country was having incremental power supply.
He added that gradually, confidence in the sector was returning, especially in the gas lines.
