The Federal Government’s reported plan to increase electricity tariffs across customer bands has continued to attract criticism from electricity consumers and industry stakeholders, who argue that the move is unjustified given the country’s persistent power supply challenges. The controversy follows reports that the government is considering a phased electricity tariff increase across all customer categories. President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Power Infrastructure, Sadiq Wanka, had indicated that electricity tariff adjustments for all bands would be implemented gradually. Many electricity consumers insist that the government should prioritise improving electricity supply before considering any further tariff review. They argue that the Tinubu administration has yet to deliver significant improvements in the power sector despite promises made before the 2023 general election.
