According to Ijose, the challenges in the sector include the purchase of energy, which was pegged at N9.7 since 2015; loss of N38.9bn in 2019; need to repay loan borrowed from the Central Bank of Nigeria; shortfall in collection of tariff running into N81bn and stealing of energy, among others.He proposed a new tariff of over N31. Reacting, Mr Ololade Hamzat Adebimpe from Oyo Parapo argued there was no need for tariff increase; rather, IBEDC should supply prepaid metres and block all revenue loopholes.
