Electricity consumers have lashed out at reports of a proposal by power distribution companies to raise the average energy charge to N105 per kilowatt-hour from the current rate of 22.8KWH.
Some Nigerians have described minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Fashola as a round peg in a square hole.
The fresh increase if implemented will see electricity tariff being paid by consumers increase over 200 per cent, less than eight months after about a 45 per cent increase in tariff was imposed on electricity consumers nationwide.
The power firms attributed the proposed increase to high inflation rate in the country, scarcity of foreign exchange, devaluation of the naira and the huge debts being owed them.
Already, the Discos said they had hinted the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission about the proposal but no action has been taken on it yet.
But the news of the proposed increase in electricity tariff has angered some Nigerians who have called on the minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Fashola to resign.

Abeg if they are trying to sell this country let them sell it to a save hand, and before that let them mark out the land of the rising sun (BIAFRA) because is quite obvious that they are planning to the ZOOGIRIAN.
