The DisCos had through their umbrella body, Association of Nigeria Electricity Distributors (ANED ), announced it was ready to support the Federal Government initiative to provide Nigerians two months electricity to cushion the effects of the COVID -19 on the citizenry.

But when the story went viral that the DisCos were to offer free electricity, they swiftly explained that the provision of free energy was subject to the government’s approval.

The DisCos have insisted that the offer is a government initiative that power distributors are only promising to support.

The DisCos have described themselves as buyers and sellers of electricity and not charity outfits that should supply power free of charge.
