The estimated billing sent over by electricity companies to consumers across the country has been terminated by President Buhari.

While directing a nationwide mass metering which signalled an end to estimated billing, President Buhari also approved a one-year waiver of Import Levy on electricity meters so Nigerians who do not have meters can be supplied as early as possible at reasonable cost.

This was contained in a statement released and shared on the official handle of the Nigerian Presidency.
