NERC

A human rights lawyer, Bar. Toluwani Yemi-Adebiyi has approached the Federal High Court to charge the management of the electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) and the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) for contempt of court.

Justifying the need for the court action against the plaintiffs, Yemi-Adebiyi said the legal implication of NERC and DISCO defiance is contemptuous of the court.

Expatiating, he said: “The power sector has illogically taken the bull by the horn by contemptuously increasing the electricity tariff, in spite of the subsisting Order of Court not to bring any Increment until the Substantive Suit is determined.”

He also recalled that in spite of the legislative chambers insistence, that such decision should be suspended until the probe of their unfair Trade practices is concluded.

In spite of failure to provide meters to consumers, thus giving them the room to bring outrageous estimated bill to their own gain, but to the detriment of the already exploited consumers who are not getting value for what they pay for.
