NERC Reads Riot Act to DISCOs

By Correspondent

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), has issued a warning that it would sanction Electricity Distribution Companies, (DISCOs), who are in the habit of extorting money from consumers to supply transformers and other distribution accessories to them. Making this known, the Acting Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Anthony Akah while commissioning the Ebonyi State Consumer Complaints Forum Office in Abakaliki insisted that it was a criminal offense for DISCOs to charge money to replace transformers and other power distribution accessories. He added that “The Commission will punish Discos caught in such act to the full extent of the law. This can include fines and even revocation of licenses depending on the magnitude of the offense. “But the consumers have the duty to provide the Commission with proof of these offenses not just to complain. They should help us with incontrovertible proof.”
