Electricity workers call on Tinubu to reverse outrageous tariff hike

Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government to reverse the 245 per cent electricity hike by electricity distribution companies.

The National Secretary of the Association, Nnamdi Ajibo, made this known in a statement on Monday while reacting to the tariff hike for Band A electricity customers.

Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission approved a tariff increase on Tuesday last week for Band A customers.

Reacting to the hike, SSAEAC said the government had not done anything in Nigeria’s power sector to warrant such an astronomical increase in tariff.

The Association described the increase as insensitive and unacceptable.

It stated that Tinubu’s administration could not implement all of its renewed hope agendas in one year.
