Mr Musliu Oseni, Vice Chairman,  Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) said this at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja.

Oseni said these customers represent 15 percent of the 12 million electricity customers across the country.

He said the commission had also downgraded some customers on Band A to Band C,  due to non-fulfillment of the required hours of electricity provided by the Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos).(NAN)
