Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to review the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. Igbokwe expressed concern that the high tariff will harm businesses and the economy. He shared his personal experience of purchasing N20,000 worth of electricity units that lasted only a day, compared to the previous duration of several days
Igbokwe’s plea to Tinubu highlights the urgent need for the government to address the electricity tariff issue. The high cost of electricity has been a long-standing challenge for businesses and households in Nigeria, and the recent increase has exacerbated the situation.
The APC chieftain’s call for a review of the electricity tariff is timely, as it aligns with the concerns of many Nigerians who are struggling to cope with the high cost of living. The government’s prompt attention to this issue is crucial to mitigate the negative impact on businesses and the economy.
Igbokwe’s statement also underscores the importance of holding leaders accountable for their campaign promises. As a staunch supporter of Tinubu’s presidency, Igbokwe’s appeal serves as a reminder to the government to prioritize the welfare of Nigerians and address the pressing issues affecting the country.
