Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

According to the letter signed by the ECPAC Executive Director, Princewill Okorie, other affiliate organisations like the Association for Public Policy Analysis and the Electricity Safety Vanguard commended the resolution of the reversal of electricity tariff for what was termed “unconstitutionally created Band A customers” of the DisCos.

Having participated in a public hearing organised by the House on the Band A tariff hike, the group stated, “We are happy to see that the House of Representatives considered the welfare and well-being of Nigerians over self-interest and promotion of unconscionable capitalist tendencies of business operators in the power sector in deciding to reverse the unpatriotic policy of electricity tariff hike.

“By this act, the committees have proved that the 10th House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is actually the people’s representatives,” the letter partly read.

The group assured the House of Representatives Committee on Power of its support as non-state actors in the area of data collation and enumeration to help in identifying the number of electricity consumers in the country, the number of metered and unmetered consumers, and the investment of the DisCos in the sector.

It also planned to identify the investments of Federal, State and Local Governments, and those of consumer groups in electricity infrastructure such as transformers, cables, wires, and meters.
