The federal government says there’s been notable engagements with labour over increment in fuel prices and electricity tariff..
The Special Adviser to the President on Infrastructure, Ahmad Zakari, disclosed this during a government-backed enlightenment and feedback programmed tagged: ‘Have your Say.’
Zakari said the meetings with labour have proven fruitful as significant progress has been made and a mandate of two weeks given.
“There were further changes made in January but, it has been suspended because we concluded that we will not implement laws that are not fully understood by Nigerians. Nigerians need to understand that this Service based Tariff is here to stay,” said Zakari.
He further enumerated the various consumer bands for electricity by saying that band A is the highest for electricity consumers who enjoy between 20-24 hours of electricity daily, while band B consumers will pay less since they get lesser hours of power supply.
Band C consumers will pay low amounts depending on their consumption rates.
Bands D and E will have their electricity consumption subsidized since they consume the least amount of power daily.
