The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has reported that Benin Republic and Togo owe Nigeria a combined total of $8.84 million for electricity supplied during the fourth quarter of 2024. This information was detailed in NERC’s Q4 2024 report, which outlines remittances from both domestic and international customers.
The debts are attributed to various international bilateral customers, including:
