ECONOMIC HARDSHIP: Senate warns Nigerian govt against electricity tariff hike

In the face of the economic hardship experienced by many Nigerians, the Nigerian Senate has warned the Federal Government to desist from hiking electricity tariff under any guise.

The upper chamber noted that increasing electricity tariff at this point would worsen the plight of Nigerians who were already on their knees.

The upper legislative chamber issued the warning on Wednesday at a plenary presided by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
