One of the commendable things that the Muhammadu Buhari administration has done is trying to find workable answers to the intractable question of indiscriminate billing of electricity customers by the electricity distribution companies . Without doubt, these companies inherited some of these debts from their parent company, the Power Holding Company of Nigeria . But then, it is only people who were living in outer space that would say they never knew this problem was there before.
I was invited for hearing on April 11. Ikeja Electric’s representatives were also at the Forum and, when my case was called, the three-man panel ruled that Ikeja Electric must make it possible for me to vend ‘with immediate effect’ after the DisCos’s representative said they were yet to reconcile my account . I saw this was fair enough and therefore did not want to waste time since the ‘substantive suit’ was yet to be heard.
If you ask me, I do not think two NERC Forum branches are enough for Lagos; the state has the largest concentration of electricity consumers who also know their rights and would want to defend them. Perhaps one more can be added to facilitate justice delivery. Justice seems to be coming too slow from the axis because of the huge number of complaints the panel has to decide.
