['Metro News Ng']

Speaking with journalists in Ilawe-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Falana said the government must first fulfil its promise of providing stable and uninterrupted electricity before considering any tariff hike.
The senior advocate alleged that many owners of electricity distribution companies maintain close ties with government officials, warning that such relationships should not shield the firms from accountability.
“The government should provide uninterrupted electricity.
That was a promise made by President Bola Tinubu when he was a candidate,” Falana said.
Falana maintained that the focus should be on reforms that improve electricity generation, transmission and distribution, rather than imposing additional financial burdens on consumers.
