Court Halts Implementation Of New Electricity Tariff For Band A Consumers

A Federal High Court in Kano has issued an order, halting the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) from enforcing the newly proposed electricity tariff for Band A consumers.

Presiding Judge Abdullahi Liman, ruling on an ex parte motion on Thursday, issued an interim order, restraining NERC and KEDCO from proceeding with the tariff hike until the motion on notice filed before it is heard and determined.
