The Federal Government should licence meter manufacturers to sell directly to electricity consumers to bridge the huge metering gap, as of September last year, only 4, 772,906 (37.33%) of 12,784,685 customers had been metered. The government can grant them licenses just like banks, telecommunications and insurance companies. Balogun praised the government for the successful completion of Phase Zero of the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP) and the support given to local meter manufacturers, who are working to ensure the meters comply with the 4G network requirements.
