Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has faulted the increase in electricity tariff, describing it as “ill-timed”.
Atiku made his view on the electricity tariff increase known in a tweet on Thursday. He said the increment was a disregard for the challenges faced by Nigerians.
Atiku said, “I reject the increased electricity tariffs. Coming out of the lockdown, Nigerians need a stimulus, not an impetuous disregard for the challenges they face. Many Nigerians have not earned an income for months, due to no fault of theirs. This increase is ill-timed and ill-advised.”
