A staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s policies and an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe has cried out to the President on the new electricity tariff plan.
Joe Igbokwe lamented that the current electricity tariff plan has a serious effect on his small business. He cried out that if something is not done, his business and other businesses will be killed by the new charge.
The Lagos State All Progressives Congress, chieftain, on his Facebook handle, on Saturday, narrated that he is paying more than he used for his small office in Surulere.
According to Igbokwe, before the electricity tariff hike, he used to buy 300 units for ₦20,000 and it lasts for a long time powering his Surulere Office and its 7 Air Conditionals, but that has changed.
He explained that with the new tariff increase which put him and his business in Band A classification, ₦20,000 worth of units only lasted for one day for his office.
He called on President Tinubu to review the new electricity tariff hike to save his business and other businesses.
Igbokwe wrote, “PBAT (President Bola Tinubu), please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about 7 units of AC.
“We used to buy 300 plus units for ₦20,0000. Yesterday (Friday) we bought ₦20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this. Full Details“
