TCN Defends Electricity Tariff Hike, Claims Nigeria’s Energy Costs Still Lower Than Neighboring Nations
The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has defended the recent electricity tariff hike, arguing that energy costs in Nigeria remain more affordable compared to several neighboring African countries.
TCN Managing Director, Sule Abdulaziz, made the statement during an appearance on Sunday Politics, noting that factors like exchange rates and the high cost of power generation contribute to the rising tariffs.
However, he emphasized that despite the increase, Nigeria’s electricity prices are still lower than those in countries like Niger and Senegal.
Abdulaziz also noted that some Nigerians, particularly those in Band A, now enjoy nearly 24-hour power supply and assured that power stability could be achieved within the next five years.
