The Federal Executive Council has approved the purchase of two hundred thousand, two hundred and seventeen meters under the Meter Asset Provider Scheme at a cost of eleven point two billion naira.
The provision of pre-paid meters should ordinarily be the responsibility of the power distribution companies, but the slow pace with which they are going about this task, is what prompted government’s introduction of the Meter Asset Provider Scheme.
Also approved by Council this week, is the purchase of grains to reinforce the National Grains reserve as sixty-one thousand tons of maize millet and sorghum are to be purchased at the cost of seven point nine billion Naira
In addition to the purchase of the grains, government is also treating the grains against an infestation known as Aflatoxin which has been confirmed to be a threat to the liver and kidney of consumers.
