Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has stated that the House of Representatives will debate the propriety of the recent increase in electricity tariffs when plenary resumes later this month.
Recall that the recent 300 percent increase in electricity tariffs for Band-A customers has raised concerns across the country.
Speaking virtually on a radio programme in Umuahia, Abia State, on Monday, Kalu said the 10th Assembly, in response to Nigerians’ calls for its intervention in the matter, would take a ‘win-win’ approach to resolving the issue.
In an issued statement, his spokesman, Livinus Nwabughiogu, disclosed that Kalu’s reaction followed an inquiry from a call-in listener, Okafor Chinedum, from Umuahia, who sought to know the position of the parliament on the matter.
