- A Federal High Court in Lagos on Thursday reaffirmed its order restraining the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) from increasing electricity tariff.
- Justice Mohammed Idris, who gave the ruling, also struck out the preliminary objection and application to nullify the order brought by NERC.
- Toluwani Adebiyi, a Lagos-based lawyer, had instituted the suit, seeking a perpetual injunction to restrain NERC from implementing any upward review of electricity tariff without significant improvement in power supply.
- Idris struck out NERC’s preliminary objection on the basis that it did not comply with Order 29, Rule 4 of the Federal High Court Civil Procedure Rules.
- The order provides that such objection must be filed within 21 days after the suit was served.
