In Aug 2025, N755m was paid to RAYOZ DIGIT SERVICES LTD ABUJA for the Emergency Construction and Installation of Solar Street Light Amenities in Rural Areas of Ikot Akai, Nto Okpo, Inen & Nkari Communities, Akwa Ibom state.

We tracked this project at Ikot Akai and report that less than 20 solar street lights were installed along the major road that connects the community to neighboring areas and one unit in front of the village head's house. However apart from that, none were installed on the streets of the community.
The village head mentioned that it gets dangerous in the community at night, so there's a need for additional units of streetlights to be installed within the community.

We call on @FmardNg, the implementing agency to facilitate this for the community. We will keep tracking to ensure quality work is done in other communities.

@aedcelectricity @NERCNG @PowerUpNG Day 24 of blackout for Band A customers at Apo Resettlement Zone C, #Abuja @aedcelectricity has failed to communicate a remedial plan or fix it @NERCNG This is a call for regulatory intervention. Band A tariff is to ensure reliable power supply

For more than 12 years, residents of Rubbochi community in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, lived without access to electricity.

This affected every aspect of life within the community of over 11,000 residents.

Tracka received this complaint and began to engage relevant government ministries
responsible.

Today, Rubbochi has experienced a remarkable transformation. The solar-powered system provided for them has improved living conditions and revived economic activities across the community.

Dear @EKEDP,

Please find attached the details of the power supply to FESTAC 11kV-71 Road for the month of April 2026.

The average daily supply for the month was approximately 7 hours and 57 minutes, which falls significantly below the expected minimum of 16 hours per day for Band B customers.

This marks the 19th consecutive month, from October 2024 to April 2026, in which the committed service levels have not been met. Despite our repeated complaints, @EKEDP has yet to resolve the persistent issues affecting our feeder.

We therefore require that @EKEDP compensate us in accordance with the relevant NERC regulations, given the consistent failure to deliver at least 90% of the committed service levels over the past 19 months.

We expect @EKEDP to fulfil its obligations by providing the quality of service for which we are being charged.

Thank you.

The Distribution Sector Recovery Program (DISREP) Metering Initiative is helping to close Nigeria's metering gap by providing electricity meters to customers at no cost.

It is a project of the Federal Government of Nigeria supported by the World Bank, the DISREP Metering Program is designed to improve energy accounting, reduce estimated billing, and enhance transparency and service delivery across the electricity distribution sector.

DISREP meters are unique in configuration to each DisCo and carry inscriptions that distinguish them from other interventions (MAF, NMMP & MAP). The meters are also non-transferable from one DisCO to another.

DISREP Meter and Installation are FREE. Visit your Electricity Distribution Company to get yours.

Hey @IkejaElectric @ieServe , I need urgent intervention on my account. Despite migrating to a prepaid meter since Nov 2024, a massive NGN 1.4M postpaid debt is still wrongly accumulating on the account.

Worse, power was disconnected, and NGN 120k penalty is being demanded for electricity never consumed. Please help look into this.
Feels like daylight robbery.

@aedcelectricity, you sent an SMS for a maintenance that'll be done on the 9th and 10th of May, 2026. Today is the 11th and power has not been restored to us at FHA Lugbe. What's wrong? @PowerUpNG @federal_power @NERCNG @fccpcnigeria

In Sept 2024, N86.5m was paid to KELEKING GLOBAL RESOURCES Ltd for the Supply & Install of Renewable Solar Street Light in Amuzu & Umuode Villa of Abia State.

We visited and saw 3 streetlights. According to residents, most of them disappeared when the construction of Umuodo road began last year. There was no way to ascertain what happened with the streetlights as there were no workers on site.

We call on @fedccojiriver, the implementing agency to provide the public with details of this project.

@aedcelectricity @PowerUpNG the rate at which power goes up in my area for days anytime there is little sign of rain is worrisome. Are all our power sources hanging b4. Very troubling people cannot preserve their foodstuffs in this trying times.

@TrackaNG @PowerUpNG @BudgITng @FMWNIG @NG_AbiaState @thisisabiastate @peters_dominion The bane of this nation is the inability to hold our leaders accountable.

We would rather stress God with prayers for "Nigeria in distress" than hold these clowns accountable.

In some parts of the world, this news would have made heads to roll, but here nothing.

Lagos planning to eliminate band classification of electricity customers, says commissioner

Biodun Ogunleye, the commissioner of energy and mineral resources in Lagos, says the state government is planning to eliminate the classification of electricity customers into bands.

Ogunleye spoke on Monday during an inter-ministerial briefing organised to highlight the achievements of the administration of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, in the energy sector in the last one year.
