The Federal Government on Wednesday said the distribution of the four million free electricity prepaid meters pledged by the Central Bank of Nigeria would soon begin across the country.
The Minister of Power, Mamman Saleh, said this while answering questions from State House correspondents after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The CBN had promised to augment the government’s effort to distribute free prepaid meters with additional four million pieces.
Saleh assured Nigerians that the government was wrapping up the distribution of its initial one million meters, which he labelled phase zero, and would soon begin the distribution of the four million others, which he dubbed phase one.
