Reversal of the hike in electricity tariff will be a setback for the transformation of the energy sector to boost supply to Nigerians, Minister of Power, Adebayo c, said yesterday.
He appealed to Labour to see reason with the government.
Labour on Monday organised a one-day protest and picketed the office of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in Abuja and those of the distribution companies (DisCos) across the country.
Adelabu, who spoke to reporters at Aso Villa after the two-day Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, assured Labour that the demands placed before the government were being considered.
He said: “I don’t want us to go back to the situation we were in February and March when we had very low generation. We all felt the impact of this whereby the electricity supply was very low and every household, every company, and every institution, felt it. From the little reform that we’ve embarked upon since the beginning of April, we have seen the impact that electricity has improved and it can only get better.
