The Nigerian Senate has begun investigating the hike in electricity rates in eleven states. During Monday's meeting at the Senate-wing National Assembly, the Red Chamber threatened to punish any person or organisation determined to be responsible for increasing Nigerians' hardships and sufferings.
The Senate's committee on power invited Adebayo Adelabu, the minister of power, and the leaders of the ministry's agencies to an investigative hearing on the new electricity tariffs last week.
The committee chairman, Senator Eyinnaya Ababribe, said that the Senate has already authorised an investigative hearing "scheduled for April 29, 2024. The major agencies of government will answer questions."
He said, "We have summoned the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). We will allow them to speak about the electricity tariff hike. The minister of power is, of course, expected to appear too."
