Falana knocks FG over proposed electricity tariff hike
By Rotimi Ojomoyela Ado-Ekiti — Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has knocked the Federal Government’s planned increase in electricity tariffs, insisting that Nigerians should not be made to bear the burden of years of policy failures and inefficiency in the country’s power sector.

Falana said the government must first fulfil its promise of providing stable and uninterrupted electricity before contemplating any further increase in tariffs.
