On prepaid meters

Although regular electric power is desirable, no one stays at home for 24 hours daily. Using prepaid meter at home that measures actual amount of power used, does ensure discipline, responsibility, fairness and good economic value.

A family where the husband, wife and children are not often present at home during usual work hours may not need the power at home or leave many appliances functioning in their absence, wasting valuable voltage unnecessarily.

The fact that without power supply, the prepaid meters don’t read makes it a valuable necessity for the consumers and distribution companies to strengthen trust, confidence, choice for consumption and prudence.

Like it applies in the use of airtime, we should be independent in value of power used.

 

 Moh’d Bagudu,

Minna
