Electricity tariff hike will worsen suffering of Nigerians
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says the hike in electricity tariff will worsen the hardship Nigerians are already going through.
Atiku said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
The Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission (NERC) had on Wednesday increased the tariff for Band A electricity consumers. It said Band A consumers are those who enjoy power supply for at least 20 hours daily.
Atiku, who was the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 presidential election, said the federal government was unleashing another dose of reforms on Nigerians without adequate notice and without an adequate post-reform plan to mitigate the pain.
He stated that the increase was coming at a time Nigerians were going through excruciating difficulties occasioned by the withdrawal of subsidy on petrol and floating of the domestic currency.
