Nigeria Resolute Towards Pushing Out More Electricity Meters
The Nigerian government has resolved to roll out electricity meters with the involvement of local producers for mass production.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola made the disclosure while inspecting the National Meter Test Station in Oshodi, Lagos.
“We plan to roll out meters, and we must," Fashola said. Adding that the Federal Government had concluded plans to involve more Nigerians in meter manufacturing.
Fashola also said that the measure would reduce the pressure on Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) on meter supply.
“The core business of DISCOs is to transport energy; their business is not to supply meters.
