The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, expressed the view that the electricity tariff in Nigeria is relatively low compared to other African countries.
Adelabu conveyed this perspective on Thursday, October 3, during a meeting with the Secretary of the Lottery Trust Fund, Tosin Adeyanju, at his office in Abuja.
In his address, Adelabu underscored that Nigeria, like the rest of the world, is currently grappling with two critical challenges: food security and energy security. He stated, "All over the world today, we are faced with two basic issues, and these are food and energy securities."
Drawing attention to the cost of electricity in Nigeria, he noted, "It is worth noting that the price of electricity is still the most economical in Nigeria compared to other African nations."
Adelabu urged Nigerians to exercise patience, assuring them that the government is dedicated to their welfare. "If Nigerians are patient, they will realize that the government has their best interests at heart," he added.
