Electricity cheaper in Nigeria than neighbouring countries despite hike in tariff – TCN

Despite the recent hike in the electricity tariff paid by some Nigerians on Band A, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disclosed that the electricity in the country is still cheaper than in some neighbouring countries.

TCN Managing Director, Sule Abdulaziz, made this known on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.

He said Nigerians are paying more for power because electricity production is not easy and that citizens on Band A now enjoy 24-hour electricity, a claim many consumers would contest.
