 FG to phase out power sector subsidy from next year

Tegbe made the announcement during a media parley with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, July 31.

He also ruled out any plans to increase electricity tariffs in the immediate term.


Nigeria’s power sector has long been weighed down by a gap between what distribution companies collect from consumers and what it actually costs to generate and transmit electricity, a shortfall the government has covered through subsidies over the years.
