President Bola Tinubu has advised Nigerians to step-up their management skill in reducing electricity bills.
“It’s not negative to learn to manage. You learn to control your electricity bill, switch off the light; let’s learn to manage,” Tinubu said on Monday, in a chat with reporters at his Bourdillon residence in the highbrow Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
The All-Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain also said he does not believe in price control and he won’t go that path. “I don’t believe in price control; we will work hard to supply the market”, he said.
Recall that after his inauguration in May 2023, Tinubu, former Lagos governor, energy costs skyrocketed, especially with the removal of petrol subsidy and electricity tariff hike. Petrol prices more than quadrupled, soaring from less than N200 per litre to over N1,100 in many parts of the country. The naira also took a nosedive, wobbling from around ?700/$ to ?1,600.
