- Nigeria’s most popular generating set, Tiger TG1550/1580 generator sells for N100,000
- The generator, which sold for less than N10,000 9 years ago reveals the effect of inflation on the Nigerian economy
- The revelation comes as Nigeria is named Africa’s net importer of petrol and diesel generator
Recently, findings show that Nigeria’s budget petrol generator, known locally as Tiger or ‘I better pass my neighbour’ has hit the N100,000 mark.
Rising from less than N10,000 in less than a decade, the ubiquitous petrol-generating set has grown above its best-selling proposition, which made it the most popular and sought-after generating set in Nigeria.
