The Federal Government declared that it had commenced the disconnection of some power firms from the national grid as a result of their non-adherence to the Electricity Market Rules.
The government explained that the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry was governed by rules, which were absolutely necessary for the viability and sustainability of the sector.
The Federal Government says these rules were sacrosanct and must be complied with by all existing or new players in the sector.
The government says for all players to interact effectively and create the requisite harmony for growth, efficiency and profitability of the sector, the rules must be obeyed and upheld.
