NERC has yet to issue an order on an increase in energy tariffs - IBEDC

NAN further noticed that IBEDC offices were flooded with clients looking to purchase energy before the new pricing went into effect.According to Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has yet to issue a directive on the new electricity pricing, which was supposed to go into effect on July 1.Ms Busolami Tunwase, Public Relations Officer of IBEDC, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ibadan on Saturday. "I am not aware that NERC has given us any such directive," she said. The commission is in charge of everything, and I doubt it has issued such an order. “But, any moment we get the directive to that effect, we will announce it and it will commence based on instructions from NERC,” Tunwase said.
