FG releases 12.7b for prepaid meter in military barracks nationwide
The Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, says the Federal Government has released N12.7 billion to provide meters in Army barracks across the country.
Adelabu said the amount is from the N40 billion earmarked for the mass metering project, according to a statement by Bolaji Tunji, his special adviser on strategic communication and media relations, on Monday, March 18, 2024.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, he said that the current exercise would last for six weeks before the second phase begins. “Mass metering in army formations nationwide will enable us to know what is being consumed on a monthly basis in order to ensure appropriate billings and ease collections.
The overall intention is to eliminate and make estimated billing a thing of the past. This is one of Mr. President’s objectives as contained in the renewed hope agenda to ensure that electricity supply to the armed forces is prioritised and they do not suffer, especially in the enjoyment of public utilities,” he said.
