The Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has been requested by the house of representatives to halt the introduction of the new price.

Following the passage of a motion of urgent public significance on Tuesday, the lower legislative chamber passed the resolution in plenary session.

Nkemkanma Kama, a Labour Party (LP) politician from Enonyi state, sponsored the resolution.

On April 3, NERC approved an increase in electricity tariff for customers under the Band A classification.

The commission said customers under the category, who receive 20 hours of electricity supply daily, would begin to pay N225 per kilowatt (kW), starting from April 3, up from N66.
