Dear Esteemed Colleagues
Please recall that the Branch held a press conference on Tuesday, *30th April, 2024* to express her displeasure on the astronomical increase in the *end-user electricity tariff*, wherein it was proposed at the press conference and unanimously *ratified* at the *May 2024 Branch’s monthly meeting* held on Monday the *6th of May, 2024* as follows:
A. That an immediate stop to the illegal implementation of the *225 Naira per kWh* imposed on the so called *band A customers* at the discretion of both the Discos and NERC is demanded because it is without any empirical basis.
B. That the classification into *band A or B or C or D or E* should be scrapped. It’s either the Discos are guaranteeing 24 hours supply for all or they are not. The government and the Nigerian people cannot continue to subsidize their inefficiency in the name of band A or B or C etc.
C. That If the government and concerned authorities fail to reverse these illegal hike of electricity tariffs within *7 days* of this press conference, NBA Ikeja branch would be left with no choice than to seek appropriate remedies in the court of law.
Please note that the Branch is resolute as to her resolutions and we are not leaving any stone unturned on this matter in ensuring that we achieve our aims as a Branch for the overall benefits of all Nigerians.
In view of this, our members will be notified of the next appropriate actions to be taken by the Branch for an effective enforcement of our positions.
Also, at the May 2024 Branch’s monthly meeting, the Members of NBA Ikeja branch seriously condemned and are totally against the *unfair skyrocketed increase of NBA-AGC registration fees* of both the early bird and regular categories, and the Branch has resolved that it is necessary that the AGC committee *reverse the increase on the NBA-AGC registration fees* to the *old registration fees for 2023 NBA-AGC 2023* and upon failure to reverse same, the Ikeja Branch of NBA will *boycott the NBA-AGC 2024* participation.
Signed.
