Amid galloping inflation, unemployment faced by Nigerians ,the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has condemned the hike in electricity tariffs across the country by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC.
The minority leader, Rep. Kingsley Chinda, said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja, calling it insensitive, inhuman, and uncalled for.
He said such an abrupt increase placed an unbearable burden on the already strained populace, exacerbating economic hardships and widening the chasm of inequality among the citizenry.
Recall that the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) through the vice chairman, Musliu Oseni, on Wednesday approved an increase in electricity tariff for customers under the Band A classification.
