This was sequel to the adoption of the recommendations of the House Committee on Power presented by Hon. Victor Nwokolo at the Committee of the Whole, chaired by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu.

Giving synopsis of the report, Nwokolo said the Committee asked NERC and DiSCOs to revert to the old tariff as earlier contained in the motion of the House when it was considered.

“And that within 60 days, they should comply with the provisions of Section 116(2d), (3b), of the Act.

“An independent team of experts should be consulted by the joint Committees to carry out an investigation on what should be the actual cost of electricity tariff.

“All Electricity Distribution Companies should revert to the old tariff pending the resolution of the matter by the House.

“In conclusion, the joint Committees is that the implementation of the tariff increase should be over a period of time, it should be in phases not what they have just done, it should be in phases,” they recommended.
