Joe Agi, SAN has taken legal action against the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He claimed that his electricity tariff was raised by 230 per cent without proper justification.
In a legal case presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Mr. Agi, identified by the suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/474/2024, is seeking the protection of his fundamental rights.
The attorney requested the court to hold the recently implemented tariffs and supply durations are in conflict with the provisions of the Electricity Act of 2023 and Section 42 of the 1999 Constitution.
The applicant designated NERC, Minister of Power, Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), and AEDC as the first to fourth respondents in the case.
