Nigerian Economist Criticizes Power Tariff Hike
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission said the recent triple increase in electricity tariff will attract more investment into the country's epileptic power sector. Labor and civil society groups are blasting the new rate saying citizens are forced to pay for "darkness". Patrick Nwinyokpugi is an Economics lecturer at the University of Port Harcourt in Rivers State. He told VOA's Chinedu Offor, the Nigerian government can fix the ailing power sector without a tariff hike.
