Nigerian govt orders NERC to revoke lincences of non-performing DisCos

The Federal Government, on Monday, ordered the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) to withdraw lincences of non-performing electricity distribution companies (DisCos).

The government accused the DisCos of not doing enough to improve supply despite the availability of power on the national grid.

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu who stated this during a meeting with the head of the agencies in Abuja, said the distribution segment remains the weakest link in the electricity supply value chain.
