From then on there was dearth in electricity availability. Lack of review of tariffs caused that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Discos could not be mandated to forward what they had not been allowed to charge. For that the payment to the generation companies has significantly dipped which affected their ability to maintain their machines and to pay for gas. And gas is one of the two significant raw materials for electricity generation in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a point it is clear that if nothing is done to ensure tariff is reviewed the market can be relatively liquid.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He also explained that the increment was in tandem with certain provisions of the electricity act which sought to protect the investments of some players in the power sector The Federal Government has disclosed the reason behind the latest increment in electricity tariffs for some users.
