electricity consumers’ fight with DISCOs officials over ‘crazy’ bills
Aspirant for the
9th House of Representatives Speakership, Femi Gbajabiamila, has reacted to
clashes between staff of the electricity distribution companies and their
customers.
Several video clips
have emerged online where distribution companies’ officials are seen being
beaten by angry customers over estimated billings.
Gbajabiamila, while
noting this, stated that the House have completed passage of the bill to
address estimated billing.
He tweeted, “In the
last few days I have watched clips of distasteful exchange of blows between
staff of electricity distribution companies and their customers over ‘crazy’
estimated bills.
“I foresaw this
situation earlier hence my sponsorship of the Bill to criminalize estimated
billing.
“We have completed
passage of this Bill in the @HouseNGR to address estimated billing, energy
theft etc but for whatever reason it’s still in the @NGRSenate awaiting
concurrence and passage.
“I trust my
colleagues and I will ensure the speedy passage of the Bill in the 9th
Assembly.”
