No electricity tariff hike for now — FG



The Federal Government has ruled out any immediate increase in electricity tariffs, saying its priority is to improve power supply, achieve universal metering and ensure consumers pay only for the electricity they consume.The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, disclosed this on Friday during a media roundtable on the resetting of Nigeria’s power sector in LagosTegbe said contrary to public speculation, the current administration had no policy to raise electricity tariffs beyond the existing levels, stressing that efforts would instead be directed at improving service delivery and protecting electricity consumers.“First, there is no policy by this administration to increase electricity tariffs beyond its current level. Our priority is not tariff increase in the immediate term. Our priority is service improvement, universal metering and ensuring Nigerians pay only for the electricity they actually consume,” the minister said.He added that the Federal Government would continue to examine additional mechanisms to protect vulnerable consumers while improving the financial sustainability of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry.“Indeed, the Federal Government will continue to examine additional mechanisms for protecting vulnerable consumers whilst simultaneously improving the financial sustainability of the market,” he stated.Tegbe said the government’s position formed part of a broader strategy to reset the power sector through reforms designed to improve electricity supply, strengthen the national grid, restore investor confidence and make the electricity market financially sustainable.According to him, the reforms build on the implementation of the Electricity Act, which has created opportunities for states to establish electricity markets suited to their economic realities, while the federal government is also advancing a Power Sector Bond initiative to settle legacy obligations owed to generation companies, gas suppliers and other market participants.Related NewsGunmen attack Benue bishop’s residence, abduct seminarianDelta gives 86 South African returnees ₦2m per family, monthly stipendAguiyi-Ironsi’s family demands compensation, apology 58 years after counter-coupThe minister said the Presidential Metering Initiative remained central to the reforms, noting that the government was moving decisively towards universal metering to eliminate estimated billing and ensure transparency in electricity billing.He also announced the inauguration of the Power Force initiative, which would engage 5,000 Nigerian youths in meter installation nationwide while developing technical skills through the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria.Tegbe disclosed that Nigeria had consistently generated 5,000 megawatts of electricity over the past two weeks, attributing the improvement to enhanced operational coordination, better plant availability and stronger collaboration across the electricity value chain.“Although much work remains, enhanced operational coordination, improved plant availability and better engagement across the value chain are beginning to produce measurable improvements,” he said.The minister, however, maintained that increased electricity generation alone would not solve Nigeria’s power challenges, saying the sector required coordinated improvements in generation, transmission, distribution and market payments.As part of the government’s sector transformation agenda, the minister announced plans for a comprehensive technical audit of the national transmission network, harmonisation of federal and state electricity regulation, strategic investments in the Lagos, Enugu–Port Harcourt and Abuja–Kaduna–Kano transmission corridors and the implementation of what it called a ‘Super Grid Programme’ to strengthen the national transmission backbone.Tegbe expressed confidence that Nigerians would begin to see visible improvements in electricity availability within the next few months, while a stronger grid, lower technical losses, improved market discipline, expanded electricity access and greater operational capacity would be achieved over the next two to three years.
