The Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, has directed the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to inform all Electricity Distribution Companies to revert to tariffs that were applicable in December, 2020.
Senior Special Adviser, Media and Communications to the Minister of Power, Aaron Artimas, made this known yesterday in a statement in Abuja.
He said the reversal to the old tariff was to promote a constructive conclusion of the dialogue with the Labour Centres.
Mamman said these measures were all aimed at cushioning the effects of the pandemic while providing more targeted interventions for citizens.
He said the public was aware that the Federal Government and the Labour Centres had been engaged in positive discussions about the electricity sector through a Joint Ad-hoc Committee.
According to him, progress has been made in these deliberations which are set to be concluded at the end of January.
