COVID-19: Reps Insist On Two-Month Free Electricity Supply For Nigerians
The House of Representatives has insisted that the proposed supply of two-months free electricity for Nigerians be implemented to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on citizens.
“It is not in doubt that the economic conditions occasioned by the pandemic have made it harder for low-income customers and businesses to pay their electricity bills, threatening them with disconnection. “We must, therefore, consider the example of other nations, including Ghana which innovated ways to absorb the electricity tariffs of all lifeline customers and provide a 50% relief for higher-income residential and commercial customers,” the statement read in part.
He said the House of Representatives remains committed to ensuring the welfare of Nigerians, especially vulnerable households.
