Another electricity tariff hike may be introduced in October 2024 by the Government as the country’s monthly power subsidy rose to N181,63 billion in September.
This comes as the electricity subsidy by the FG rose to N181,63 billion in September from N102.30 billion in May. In the last three months, the government paid N163.87 billion in July, N173.88bn in August & N181.63bn in September 2024.
This comes after the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission announced the removal of subsidies in areas categorized as Band A feeders on April 3, 2024.
NERC had revealed that the monthly electricity subsidy at that time stood at N140.7 billion. Consequently NERC approved an electricity tariff hike for electricity consumers enjoying at least 20 hours of electricity daily, raising their tariff to N225 per kilowatt-hour.
However, the decision generated serious outcries among Nigerians, including labour unions, educational and health institutions, whose electricity bills tripled following the removal of the subsidy.
