The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company says it has slashed the tariff payable by its Band A customers to N206.80 per kilowatt-hour from the N225/kWh approved by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission.
IKEDC disclosed this in a tweet on Monday.
According to the notice, the downward tariff review of the Band A customers would take effect from Monday, May 6, 2024 [today].
The DisCo, while guaranteeing a minimum of 20-hour daily power supply for those on Band A feeders, noted that the tariffs of customers on other bands remain unchanged.

We had an issue yesterday we can’t pumping water because of the light is low in agege ( alhaja sifawu street ) thank you— Moses Oladimeji (@moses_olad36904) May 6, 2024
In fact, we don’t really know exactly how much you charge us.
For 30k, I got just 110 units. I did all the mathematics and it wasn’t matching up. It’s really crazy.— £vergreen (@EverG_22) May 6, 2024
FG should make each discos compete in all territories and let the market determine their sustainability . The customers should have so many choices to pick from .

Dear service provider,

Waiting patiently for your response

Yahoo company, so you’ve tried all you could but I guess you can’t with stand it right🙄 now talking about Band B,C,D and E remains the same tariff with 2days on and 1day of 6hrs on the day of the ON’s I also guess you called that load shading or whatever.

Dear Ikeja Electric,
you’ve been selling power to us at the rate of 241/kwh and not 225/kwh, and it’s not sustainable. 120-150/kwh maybe fair. Why you’ve not received mass protest is bcos those on Band A are less than 2% nationwide.
PLEASE BE GUIDED.

I am not on band A and the rate my light finish nowadays is too frustrating how can i be recharging 5000 every week. Before 5000 lasted me for 3 weeks but now just a week. And you are saying band B and co still remain the same, that’s a big lie.
