It will kill businesses if government does not act quickly – APC Chieftain, Joe Igbokwe laments over high cost of electricity tarriff

Joe Igbokwe, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has cried out to the President about the new electricity tariff plan.

The APC chieftain, via his social media handle, Facebook, narrated that he is paying more than he used to pay for his small office in Surulere.

According to the Staunch supporter of Bola Tinubu-led administration, before the electricity tariff hike, he used to buy 300 units for ₦20,000, and it lasted for a long time, powering his Surulere Office and its 7 Air Conditionals.

He detailed the drastic change, stating that the same ₦20,000 worth of units now only power his office for a single day, significantly decreasing utility.

He called on President Tinubu to review the new electricity tariff hike to save his business and other small businesses.

He urgently appealed to President Tinubu, stating, “PBAT (President Bola Tinubu), please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about 7 units of AC.

“We used to buy 300 plus units for ₦20,0000. Yesterday (Friday) we bought ₦20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this.“
