Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has criticized the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, over “failure to deliver a constant supply of electricity despite increasing tariffs.”
The National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) had increased the tariff paid by Band A customers from N68/KWh to N225/kWh.
NERC also said Band A customers are expected to receive between 20-24 hours of electricity supply daily while the subscribers under Band B enjoy 16 to 20 hours of power supply and those in Band C receive 12 to 16 hours daily.
But the respected lawyer described the power policy as “the illegality of tariffs,” adding that the Federal Government and Adelabu could not defend the hike.
