FG Bans DisCos from Charging for Meter Installation, Threatens to Prosecute Offenders
The sweeping directive was issued on Thursday by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, during an inspection tour of a new consignment of imported smart meters at APM Terminals in Apapa, Lagos. The meters form part of the World Bank–funded Distribution Sector Recovery Programme (DISREP), aimed at bridging Nigeria’s massive metering gap and ensuring transparent, accurate billing.
