The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has confirmed the removal of electricity subsidies by the Federal Government.
The Chairman of the Commission, Mr Sanusi Garba, says the review was conducted in line with multi-year tariff order that mandates that electricity tariffs be reviewed every six months.
Mr Garba says it is the duty of electricity distribution companies to inform their customers of tariff review outcomes and the cost of power.
He blamed the poor state of electricity supply and grid collapses on vandalism of gas pipelines to power plants, plants maintenance and a trip on the 330KV line from the Ughelli power plant.
