Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, has raised alarm over what he described as outrageous electricity billing by the power distribution company supplying his official residence.
Speaking on Monday during a roundtable event in Victoria Island, Hamzat revealed that his power bill skyrocketed from N2.7 million in March to a staggering N29 million in April. Despite paying for a prepaid meter, he claimed that the electricity company—Eko DisCo—has made it difficult to switch from estimated to metered billing.
“I bought a meter so I won’t keep getting estimated bills, but converting it has been a serious challenge,” Hamzat lamented.
