A civil liberty organisation, Network for Advocacy and Good Leadership Initiative, has kicked against the proposed 40 per cent electricity tariff hike by the Federal Government, saying the move will further plunge Nigerians deeper into suffering.
Arguing that the plans were untimely, the group said Nigerians are still battling with the negative effects of the fuel subsidy removal.
The Director-General of the group, Dr Agodi Kanu, said this in a statement released on Wednesday. He urged the government to reconsider the proposed 40% hike, calling for meaningful engagement with stakeholders; transparency in decision-making processes; and the pursuit of sustainable solutions that prioritise the welfare and economic prosperity of all Nigerians.
