Honorable Femi Gbajabiamila has promised Nigerians that the estimated bill issue which is recently causing fracas between electricity distribution companies and their customers will soon be a thing of the past as he will liaise with the senate to make sure that the bill is passed.
The honorable member who is vying for the speakership position of the House of Representative, explained that he foresaw this present situation which was what moved him to sponsor the bill criminalizing estimated billing. The bill has passed in the House of Representative, remaining the senate to do same.
READ FROM HIM;
In the last few days I have watched clips of distasteful exchange of blows between staff of electricity distribution companies and their customers over ‘crazy’ estimated bills. I foresaw this situation earlier hence my sponsorship of the Bill to criminalize estimated billing. We have completed passage of this Bill in the House to address estimated billing, energy theft etc but for whatever reason it’s still in the senate awaiting concurrence and passage. I trust my colleagues and I will ensure the speedy passage of the Bill in the 9th Assembly.
