“We will continue to meet our obligations to our customers by giving them power commensurate with their tariff classification. Being value-driven is one of our core values and we remain resolute in keeping to our service promise to our customers. We won’t stop until all our customers have a minimum of 20 hours daily”, Lasaki added.

The Commission also announced a downward review of the tariff from N225 to N206.80 per kilowatt-hour due to changes in foreign exchange, inflationary indicators, generation and transmission costs.
