Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, revealed that President Bola Tinubu insisted that the country must achieve regular and incremental power supply before considering an increase in electricity tariffs.<\/p>\n

According to him, Tinubu stopped the implementation of a hike in the electricity tariff and insisted that a subsidy be paid for power consumed nationwide.<\/p>\n

Adelabu stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, while speaking on the call for a cost-reflective tariff, which would lead to a hike in the amount payable for power.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot jump overnight and implement the cost-reflective tariff. I can tell you that, till today, the government still subsidises power,\u201d he said, emphasising the importance of the power sector to any leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cTariffs should have been raised months back, but Mr President said, until we are able to achieve regular and incremental power supply, we can\u2019t touch the tariff,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I never said that it is not yet time to charge a cost-reflective tariff. Rather, I said a cost-reflective tariff is supposed to have been implemented months ago because it is the source of liquidity to the system.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for political reasons and empathy, you cannot cause an additional burden on Nigerians…\u201d<\/p>\n
