There needs to be a mandate from the ministry for the disco to only purchase locally made meters. There also needs to be mandate to ensure that their consumers are metering in a timely manner. if funding is the problem, the government should tie any loan from CBN to metering. There can also be a scheme between the disco, meter producer and consumer, where back the meters are purchased on credit from the local producer, then the consumer can repay the cost on a monthly basis.
