The Nigerian federal government has stated it has no immediate plans to increase electricity tariffs, according to a report by The Cable. The statement comes amid ongoing concerns about energy supply and affordability for consumers.

Minister of Power, Tegbe, emphasized that any potential changes to pricing would require careful consideration and consultation with relevant stakeholders. The government has been under pressure to address frequent power outages and rising costs for households and businesses.

While no official timeline was provided, officials noted that the focus remains on improving infrastructure and expanding access to reliable electricity. The decision follows recent discussions on energy policy and the need for sustainable solutions.

The Cable reported that the government is currently prioritizing investment in renewable energy sources and grid expansion. These efforts aim to reduce dependency on imported fuels and stabilize the national power supply. (The Cable)
