Don’t pay for poles, transformers others – NERC tell Nigerians

Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), has warned Nigerians against paying for electricity distribution infrastructures such as transformers, cables or poles.

NERC in a statement shared alongside a video on X on Tuesday, emphasised that consumers should not be coerced into purchasing transformers, cables, or poles, as this responsibility lies squarely with the distribution companies.

The statement reads, “Is your distribution company expecting you to buy transformers, cables, or poles? Don’t! It is the DisCo’s obligation, not yours,” NERC stated emphatically.
