Numerous complaints have flooded social media following NERC's listing of consumers under Band A for increased electricity tariffs. Residents from areas like Ago and Ejigbo-Egbe in Lagos expressed disbelief, claiming they never experienced the promised 20 hours of electricity per day. Twitter users criticized the tariff hike, questioning the rationale behind it if the purported service isn't being delivered.
Some sarcastically referred to their areas' situations due to unreliable power supply. Others raised concerns about increasing bills despite worsening power outages. These grievances highlight the disconnection between the listed band categories and the actual service received, raising suspicions of fraudulent practices.
Consumers demand transparency and accountability from Ikeja Electric and NERC, urging them to address the inconsistencies and provide solutions to the ongoing electricity crisis.
