Electricity consumers willing to pay for meters will have to incur higher costs beginning from tomorrow as Federal Government has increased the prices of both single-phase and three-phase meters.

Consumers have kicked against the move and wondered why there would be an increase in the prices of meters when the government had announced last year that it was providing free meters to them.

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission had in June last year approved a hike in the prices of meters, explaining why it raised the price of meters again this year, the commission said the development was due to the macro-economic parameters in the country.
