Cost of electricity may go up, as minister suggests removal of subsidy, ‘cost reflective tariff’

Nigerians may soon have to pay more to enjoy additional supply of electricity supply, going by suggestions from the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu.

Adelabu, has expressed concerns that power plants operated by the government were currently under-utilised and only operating at 25 percent of their capacity.

This, he blamed on a variety of reasons ranging from unpaid debts and low gas supply.
