The FG made the announcement.
- The CBN promised to support the FG in meter distribution.
- The distribution of FGs 1 million meters almost concluded.
On Wednesday, the Federal Government made an announcement that the Central Bank of Nigeria would soon begin distribution of 4 million meters across the country. Recently, the apex bank had promised to assist the FG in its metering campaign in the country by donating four million meters to the cause.
Engr. Sale Mamman made the announcement of the meter distribution commencing soon at the presidential villa, Abuja. He also added that the government’s initial distribution of 1 million meters is almost concluded, after which the distribution of the meters from CBN would begin. He referred to the distribution of the four million meters as phase one, while he termed the 1 million meters as phase zero.
Sale Mamman said, ‘It’s ongoing, we are almost rounding off. We have almost finished with phase zero, we are now going into phase one of the distribution of the meters, that is the remaining four million the Central Bank promised to augment with. The first set is one million, we’re about to finish with that, but you know it’s not the target, one million is very negligible compared to the demand of Nigerians.’
