Abuja Electricity Distribution Company Makes U-turn, Asks Customers to Disregard Reports of Increase in Electricity Tariff

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company AEDC has withdrawn an earlier memo announcing increase in tariff.

In a Twitter post, it asked its customers to disregard reports that it would be increasing electricity tariffs by July 1. 

The company had on Sunday, June 25, released a statement announcing plans to increase the tariff by July 1. The company said the increment was due to the fluctuation of the Naira in the exchange rate.

However, in a statement released on its Twitter handle today, the AEDC said no approval has been granted for increase in tariff.
