 SHOW THE SAME MIGHT AT HOME, ADEYANJU URGES TINUBU TO USE BENIN COUP RESPONSE AGAINST TERRORISTS IN NIGERIA Human rights lawyer and social activist Deji Adeyanju is calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bring home the same military force and urgency displayed in stopping the attempted coup in the Republic of Benin. In a statement on Monday, Adeyanju praised the swift and coordinated action of the Nigerian Armed Forces, noting that the use of Air Force fighter jets and ground troops proved Nigeria’s capacity to defend democracy beyond its borders. He described the intervention as bold and exemplary, adding that it sends a strong signal to anti-democratic forces across the Sahel.

  FG to Review Electricity Tariffs for Band B, C Customers


The Federal Government has announced plans to adjust electricity tariffs to address disparities in the current billing system and attract investment in the power sector.


Speaking at the public presentation of the National Integrated Electricity Policy and Nigeria Integrated Resource Plan in Abuja, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, expressed concerns over the slow transition of customers to Band A due to the reluctance of Distribution Companies (DisCos) to invest in infrastructure.


Currently, Band B customers, who receive 17–18 hours of electricity daily, pay ₦63 per kilowatt-hour, while Band A customers, with just two additional hours, are charged ₦209 per kilowatt-hour. Adelabu described this pricing as unfair, emphasizing the need for a more balanced tariff system.


“We will review the tariffs—not necessarily increase them—but to enhance last year’s progress and facilitate investment in power infrastructure,” he clarified.


He also highlighted the need for significant investments to speed up the migration of lower-band customers to Band A, lamenting that DisCos have failed to invest adequately in the sector.


To bridge the wide gap between Bands A, B, and C, the government is considering restructuring the tariff bands to create a more equitable pricing system. Adelabu reiterated that while a review is necessary, it does not automatically mean a tariff hike.
