Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive, Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Mr. Tunji Bello, yesterday revealed that the commission successfully halted a planned replacement of obsolete prepaid electricity meters after concerns emerged that consumers could be compelled to pay for infrastructure failures that were not of their making.
Bello insisted that Nigerians should never bear the cost of replacing obsolete meters or be subjected to estimated billing during the process.
He made the disclosure at a stakeholder engagement on consumer protection and regulatory cooperation in Nigeria’s electricity sector, in Abuja.
