🌍 The Nigerian Electricity Billing Problem

In Nigeria:

  • Most households receive monthly bills from PHCN or Distribution Companies (DisCos)
  • Bills often vary wildly from month to month
  • Tariff systems are unclear
  • Consumers struggle to know if they are being overbilled

This creates problems such as:

  • Poor budgeting
  • Lack of trust in billing systems
  • Difficulty tracking electricity usage

🎯 Project Goal

Build a simple Python program that:

  • Accepts monthly electricity consumption (kWh)
  • Estimates the electricity bill
  • Categorizes the bill as Low, Medium, or High
  • Flags unusually high bills
  • Gives basic energy‑saving advice

The project is beginner‑friendly and focuses on conditional logic.
