Meters are provided to customers free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Speaking at the event, the energy experts, who scored President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration high on metering compared to past governments, said the pricing of prepaid meters as part of the procuring process is crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Odion Omonfoman, chief executive officer, New Hampshire Capital Limited, lauded the successful intervention of the NMMP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He, however, said that although phase zero of NMMP was adjudged successful, it recorded numerous issues. He listed incorrect declaration of meter quantities in-country by a few meter vendors, difficult logistics of clearing meters at the ports, inaccurate customer data and rejection of the meters by some customers and poor remuneration of meter installers as some of the issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to him, these are lessons that can be utilised to enhance the implementation of the NMMP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMeter installation is very important.
