Nigerian Government’s alleged proposal to increase electricity tariffs across bands is drawing sharp criticisms.
DAILY POST reports that this comes amid the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu government’s failure to address the country’s electricity supply challenges contrary to his promises before the 2023 general election.
This comes amid controversy surrounding the Federal Government’s reported proposal to increase electricity tariffs in phases.
Recall that Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Power Infrastructure, Sadiq Wanka, had said tariff increment for all customer bands would be implemented in phases.
Although the presidency, at the weekend, dismissed the reports of a planned electricity tariff hike, fear remains that the government may implement the said increment.
Electricity consumers are, however, insisting that the government has no moral justification to increase electricity tariff amid the country’s abysmal power supply.
According to the consumers, the Tinubu administration’s poor performance in the electricity sector is sufficient reason to halt any tariff
