Most states in Nigeria may experience blackout over when the directive of the Federal Government on power is implemented.
Agencies of government that fail to pay their electricity bill within stipulated time shall henceforth be disconnected, the Federal Government has said.
The Federal Government also directed agencies that were highly indebted to the power sector in terms of payment of electricity bills, to pay up or have the funds deducted from their 2014 budget.
Furthermore, the government retracted its target of generating at least 7,000MW of power before the end of 2014. On Tuesday, a new target of 4,500MW by June and 6,000MW by December was announced.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr. Sam Amadi, who disclosed this, stated that the President had directed power distribution companies to ensure that all government agencies were adequately metered.
