• A Nigerian man living in Aba, Abia state, shared a video on TikTok to talk about electricity bills in the city
• He said before the installation of the new power plant in Aba, he used to pay N6,000 as bills, using estimated billing
• Now that there's constant electricity, the man said he is using a prepaid meter, and the bills have become higher

A man resident in Aba, Abia state, said he now uses a prepaid meter instead of estimated billing.

He said before the installation of the new power plant in the city, he was billed N6,000 for electricity every month.

But with the installation of the power plant came more constant electricity, which meant residents had to pay more.

In the video seen on the TikTok handle of @ola.and.nmma, the man hinted that the electricity bill was no longer the same. He said:
