Minister for Power, Adebayo Adelabu, says Nigerians would be willing to pay higher amounts for electricity just as citizens of other West African countries like Guinea, Togo and Mali who pay more than what Nigerians pay for electricity, if they get value for their money.
Adelabu however, reiterated that the government can no longer afford to continue to subsidise the cost of electricity, a position he had put forward before.
The Minister who stated this when he visited the corporate headquarters of the Ikeja Electric in Lagos State on Thursday, said if there was an improved power supply, Nigerians would not complain over high tariff as long as they get value for their money.
