The Labour Party on Saturday called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to reconsider its decision to hike the tariff payable by some electricity consumers in the country.
Mrs Olubunmi Odesanya, Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the party, made the call in an interview with journalists in Lagos.
Adesanya described the “astronomical” increase in tariff as unreasonable, adding that a good number of Nigerians are suffering.
She added that if the government had reason to hike tariffs at all, the increase should not be more than 25 per cent.
She urged the federal government to reduce the cost of governance in order to save funds, rather than removing subsidies
