The Chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERDC), Dr Sam Amadi, on Wednesday said plans are under-way for electricity consumers to jointly fix electricity tariff with distribution companies.
He also said consumer groups will be set up shortly to introduce orderly intervention in tariff and regulatory activities.
He further noted that this will require regular meetings between distribution companies and consumer groups before tariffs are set for electricity which will also be subject to approval by the commission.
This move, according to Channels Television’s correspondent, Omelogo Nnadi, is set to eliminate over-bloated tariffs and the incessant complaints by consumers.
