The Minister also stated that the Federal Government would pay the sum of ₦2.9trn to subsidise electricity this year if the tariff was not reviewed.

 During the session, Chairman of the committee, Senator Eyinnnaya Abaribe  and other committee members raised the question of how customers were migrated from the previous customer classes of Residential (R1, R2, R3), Commercial (C1, C2) and Demand (D1, D2), to different bands.y

They also requested to know if the band classification was under the provisions of the law. 

The development comes on the heels of the recent increase in electricity tariffs for consumers in the Band A category by NERC.
