The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) backs Lagos State’s move to reduce estimated electricity billing and expand smart metering. In statements reported by Nigerian media, the FCCPC supports enforcement actions against estimated billing practices and argues that the reforms can improve transparency and service delivery in the electricity market. The commission also calls on other states to consider similar measures to strengthen consumer protection and consumer confidence in the power sector. Separately, coverage highlights that Lagos is pursuing smart metering as part of the effort to make electricity consumption tracking more accurate, while also targeting billing methods that do not reflect actual usage. The FCCPC position aligns across outlets: it presents the Lagos initiative as a shift toward clearer billing information for customers and stronger safeguards against unfair or unclear billing practices. No figures or enforcement timelines are detailed in the excerpts, but the overall message is that the FCCPC views Lagos’s approach as a model that could be adopted more widely across Nigeria.
