They maintained that there was no justification for any upward review of electricity tariffs due to the current economic realities and challenges being faced by Nigerians.
The groups, the Energy Consumer Rights and Responsibilities Initiative and All Electricity Consumers Protection Forum made their views known in separate interviews with
NAN in Lagos.
NAN reports that NERC, the regulator of the power sector had in a public notice, announced that it was working on concluding the Extraordinary Tariff Review process for the DisCos.
