Consumer Advocacy Group Accuses Distribution Companies of Recklessness, Blames Them for Frequent Tariff Hikes

Speaking during a briefing in Abuja on Thursday, Executive Director of the group, Chief Princewill Okorie, urged President Bola Tinubu to curb sleaze in the sector as well as non-implementation of policies, to reduce the frequent reasons to increase rates.

The group argued that the current crisis in Eko Disco, for instance, was due to the inability to enforce discipline and curb wastages, observing that while Discos are complaining of inadequate tariff, it is inhuman to obscure the level of financial imprudence exhibited by them.
