The former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, says increase in electricity tariff, is not proper for now, “since many Nigerians have not been working, due to the lockdown”.
He made the statement today, Thursday September 3, via his Twitter handle, stressing that the increase is, "ill-timed and ill-advised".
The statement reads: "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."
