Justice Mohammed Idris of a Federal High Court in Lagos will today Friday deliver final judgment in a suit opposing the Federal Government’s decision to increase electricity tariff.
A Lagos-based lawyer, Toluwani Adebiyi, last year filed the suit after the announcement was made by the then Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr. Sam Amadi.
Toluwani want’s the court to stop any hike in electricity tariff until there is a meaningful and significant improvement in power supply to at least 18 hours in a day in most Nigerian communities.
Justice Mohammed Idris had on May 28, 2015 stopped NERC from giving effect to the proposed hike pending the determination of the suit.
