Indiscriminate and insensitive billing by Ikeja Disco
SIR It is quite appalling the way consumers are being indiscriminately and insensitively charged for electricity not utilised. Despite the fact that power supply has been very epileptic in the past months, electricity bill has continued to be outrageously on the high side.
In many neighbourhoods, we experience low shedding as it is called, a case whereby you have electricity for a particular number of days and no electricity for the other days. Cumulatively in a month we have electricity supply for 12 days or even less out of the 31days in a month.
I am sincerely appealing to our state governor, His Excellency Akinwunmi Ambode to please come to our aid and save us from these fraudulent practices. Let them as a matter of urgency put in place the promised prepaid meters so we can pay for only what is consumed or find a way of accurately charging consumers with post-paid meters what is actually consumed in a month. This exploitation must be stopped once and for all.
Robert Olugbenga,
Lagos.
