The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has issued a warning to Distribution Companies (DisCos) in Nigeria regarding the replacement of obsolete electricity meters. Tunji Bello, a representative of the FCCPC, emphasized that consumers should not be charged for the replacement of these meters, as it is a regulatory requirement to protect customer rights. The FCCPC's stance aims to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws and to maintain fair practices within the electricity distribution sector. Bello highlighted the importance of safeguarding consumers from additional financial burdens related to meter replacements. The commission is prepared to take further action if DisCos fail to adhere to these guidelines. This move is part of the FCCPC's broader efforts to enhance transparency and accountability in Nigeria's energy sector.
