Prepaid meters that were distributed to power users by the Office of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo under the National Mass Metering Programme and are largely inactive will be recovered shortly.

Six million free prepaid meters will be distributed nationwide as part of the NMMP plan, an intervention program the Federal Government launched in 2020 to close the metering gap.
However, some beneficiaries were reported to be having technical issues with the meters, raising concerns about the program, which has so far distributed about one million in phases 0 and 1.
