President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to learn to manage by switching off their lights.
Tinubu advised that switching off lights would reduce
electricity bills.
He spoke during his presidential media chat with journalists
in Lagos State.
According to Tinubu: “It’s not negative to learn to manage.
You learn to control your electricity bill, switch off the light, let’s learn
to manage.”
The president also said he does not believe in price control
and he won’t toe that path.
“I don’t believe in price control, we will work hard to
supply the market,” he said.
Upon his assumption of power, Tinubu government had hiked
the electricity tariff and removed the subsidy on fuel.
On April 3, 2024, the electricity regulator raised tariff
for customers said to be under the Band A classification, with customers now
paying N225 kilowatt per hour from N66.
This move was heavily criticized due to the further hardship
it brought upon Nigerians.
