DisCos Pocket N2.3tn Despite Erratic Power Supply

Despite widespread complaints over inconsistent electricity, Nigeria’s Distribution Companies (DisCos) have reportedly earned N2.3 trillion in revenue. Consumers continue to face frequent blackouts, raising concerns about efficiency, tariff fairness, and regulatory oversight. The situation highlights growing tension between DisCos’ profitability and service delivery, with calls for stronger government intervention and accountability in the power sector. Analysts warn that unless operational inefficiencies are addressed, public frustration and investment risks will continue to escalate.
