Amid complaints by most Nigerians about having to subsidize the cost of electricity by way of buying ng transformers cables and other electrical equipment, Deputy National Organizing Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Nze Chidi Duru, has urged the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to take steps to revoke the concession agreement with the electricity providers in the country over their monumental failure
According to him, the current tariff hike for some consumers is one policy capable of hurting the electoral viability of the APC, saying this is one policy that must not stand.
“This has unintended consequences for the government and for the party. People are groaning on account of difficulties and I call on the regulators to go to the Nigeria Communication Commission NCC and learn what they have been able to do. This is one policy that must not stand,” he warned.
Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja, Duru said it is not the duty of Nigerians to buy transformers, provide electrical poles and fund other installations that should naturally have been provided by the Distribution Companies DISCOS and in some cases the Generating Companies GENCOS.
Expressing anger over what he described as unjustifiable disparity in electricity tariff, Duru claimed that the fact that Nigerians still fund such installations for the service providers is proof that they (companies) have not lived up to their expectations.
