Is NERC an agency of the DISCOs, because they don’t have the integrity to be an government agency funded with tax payers resources.
We must ask them to give account of the billions of dollars and trillions of naira wasted on power yet no light, even in Abuja (AMAC) .

I stay in an area where we only get to have light on sundays while we spend the rest of the week running on generators. Now you increase tariff on the one day light you giving us. I regret being a Nigerian.

I seriously don’t understand this country again. Tariffs were hiked twice last year in the name of having steady power. But here were are in gross darkness. @MBuhari And his cohorts should just sell this country so we can all rest. @NERCNG

We have to stop using Nepa supply until they have sense. This rubbish has to stop! I know it is a tough decision to make but if we don’t do this, they won’t reset their brains. We shouldn’t allow obvious extortion! Disconnect me and don’t come close to my gate! @IkejaElectric
