By Muhammad Abba

Malam Saminaka emphasized the importance of such engagements as a foundation for establishing lasting connections with customers.

He encouraged customers to remain diligent in paying their electricity bills to avoid service disruptions and ensure the stability of power supply across the region.

“Zamfara Region experiences a monthly loss of over 1 billion naira due to customers failing to settle their electricity bills. This lack of bill recovery is reflected in poor collection efficiency, which impacts effective service delivery in the state,” he added.

The Regional Manager further stated that in order to ensure business success, customers must recognize their obligation to pay for electricity as a fundamental aspect of achieving organizational objectives and enabling the delivery of collective services for mutual benefit.

He continued, “Addressing electricity theft, a major contributor to the power supply crisis and its negative impacts on the value chain, is crucial in reducing revenue losses and debt accumulation within the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), which in turn affects the nation's economy. Engaging in unlawful disconnection, removal, damage, tampering, or interference with the electricity supply is unlawful and detrimental.”

The Secretary of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in Gusau, Mr. Aminu Dauda, clarified that the electricity Bands plan is a service-reflective tariff structure mandated by the NERC.

“This new tariff system is designed to ensure that individuals in Nigeria are billed for electricity according to the quality and duration of the electricity they receive. Consequently, there will be modifications in the electricity terms, services, and charges for consumers based on the quality and duration of electricity received. Understanding what a Tariff Band is and its significance is crucial. Your tariff band categorizes the number of hours of electricity you receive per day, providing valuable information to your distribution company. Knowing your tariff band helps you comprehend your monthly electricity consumption and what to anticipate in terms of daily electricity supply. Additionally, enhancing customer engagement is emphasized as a means to further improve the electricity services provided,” he concluded.
