NERC Approves Deregulation Of Meter Prices

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has issued an order, ORDER NO: NERC/2024/040, which deregulates the prices of meters deployed under the Meter Asset Provider Scheme.

Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the order, issued on Monday by NERC Chairman, Engr. Sanusi Garba and Commissioner Legal and Licensing Compliance, Barrister Dafe Akpeneye, adjusts the price of a single-phase meter from N58,661.69 to N81,975.16 and the price of a three-phase meter from N109,684.36 to N143,836.10.

The Meter Asset Provider and National Mass Metering Regulations provide for the metering of end-use customers of successor electricity distribution licensees (‘DisCos’).

According to the Regulations, the cost of single-phase and three-phase meters for MAPs, inclusive of all other associated costs of installation and warranties, shall continue to be at the regulated rates approved by the Commission.

However, the Meter Asset Providers (MAPs) and Local Meter Manufacturers Associations (LMMAs) have requested a further review of meter prices in consideration of significant changes in the NGN/USD foreign exchange rate and inflation rate since the last price review in September 2023.

The significant changes in these macroeconomic variables have constrained their ability to supply meters at the approved regulated price.

“The Commission has noted the need for the efficient pricing of meters to respond more quickly to changes in macroeconomic parameters, particularly exchange rates. The Commission has further taken cognisance of the
constraints/challenges faced by MAPs and LMMAs and therefore approved the deregulation of prices of meters deployed under the MAP scheme with effect from 1 May 2024.

“The cost of prices of meters deployed under the MAP scheme is HEREBY DEREGULATED to enable end.use customers acquire meters from MAPs of their choice based on competitive open market prices determined from
transparent bidding frameworks.”

Emefiele Trial: Former CBN Director Alleges Millions in Bribes

In a development with significant implications for the ongoing corruption case against Godwin Emefiele, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), a key witness implicated Emefiele in a bribery scheme. John Ayoh, a former Director of Information Technology at the CBN, testified on Monday at the Ikeja Special Offences Court that he collected $600,000 on Emefiele’s behalf from contractors in two installments.

Appearing as the second witness for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ayoh detailed instances where he allegedly facilitated the delivery of the money to Emefiele, claiming it was linked to contract awards. However, under cross-examination by Emefiele’s defense attorney, Olalekan Ojo (SAN), Ayoh admitted to acting under pressure when facilitating the alleged bribes.

This testimony adds another layer of complexity to Emefiele’s legal situation. The former CBN governor is already facing multiple legal challenges in both Abuja and Lagos. The EFCC is prosecuting him at the Special Offences Court over accusations of abuse of office and accepting bribes totaling $4.5 billion and N2.8 billion.

Emefiele’s defense team, led by Ojo, has contested the court’s jurisdiction in this case, arguing that it lacks the authority to handle matters related to the Constitution. They have urged the court to dismiss specific counts of the indictment against Emefiele.

Ayoh, testifying under the guidance of EFCC prosecutor Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), stated that the first alleged bribe of $400,000 was collected by his assistant, John Adetola, at Ayoh’s residence in Lekki, Lagos State. The details surrounding the second installment of $200,000 remain unclear, with Ayoh claiming he delivered it directly to Emefiele at the CBN headquarters.
