A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has called on Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu to address the rising electricity tariff in Nigeria, warning that it could severely impact businesses.
In a statement shared on his Facebook page, Igbokwe, a strong supporter of Tinubu’s presidency, expressed concerns that the current tariff structure could lead to the collapse of small businesses.
According to him, N20,000 worth of electricity units, which previously lasted for an extended period, now only covers a single day’s consumption.
He stated, “PBAT, please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about about 7 units of AC.
“We used to buy 300 plus units for N20,0000. Yesterday we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this,” he added.
