A Federal High Court in Lagos has stopped the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) from increasing its tariff which it had proposed would start on Monday, 1st of June.
A Lagos-based lawyer after NERC proposed the increment had dragged them to court insisting it will cause more hardship for Nigerians and there was absolutely no need for electricity tariff to be increased at this period.
It will be recalled that, the Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, had at a recent press conference in Abuja, disclosed the plan by the commission to implement an upward review of electricity tariff payable by Nigerians.
