Gbajabiamila seeks tougher measures to revamp electricity sector vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila has said that the House would ensure that Nigerians get adequate supply for the electricity they pay for.The Speaker said the House would give adequate attention to the practice of estimated billing by electricity distribution companies to address the challenges Nigerians face.

Recall that the Speaker had during his term as House Leader in the 8th Assembly, presented a bill to criminalise estimated billing, though it did not get presidential assent. Upon the inauguration of the 9th Assembly, the bill was reintroduced for another consideration. “You said discos need to be recapitalised. I don’t know what you mean by that. These are private companies, do you mean that the government should come in? Maybe you should explain more on that,” the Speaker said.

“We’re going to be engaging you on the correlation between electricity supply and how to improve poverty. You have done well, I must commend you so far. But what we would like to know is for you to give us a breakdown of your real challenges, your real problems,” the Speaker said.
