The House of Representatives has ordered the suspension of the hike in electricity tariff by the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
Additionally, it has summoned the Minister of Petroleum Resources over the current fuel scarcity.
These decisions were reached following the adoption of separate motions moved by Shehu Ajilo and Kama Nkem Karama on Tuesday.
NERC had ordered the increment in tariff while the lawmakers were on holiday. Meanwhile, fuel scarcity is ravaging the entire country due to the inability of NNPC Limited to provide products to marketers.
Shehu Ajilo moved the motion on petroleum scarcity, and it was taken without debate.
The House ordered that the Minister of Petroleum Resources must appear before the House.
Meanwhile, Nkemkanma moved the motion to suspend the electricity tariff hike.
The House directed that the Minister of Power should appear before a special committee to probe the hike.
Both motions were adopted without debate.
