Consumer Rights Advancement Organisation (CRADO) has lamented over the recent hike in electricity tariff, saying that Nigerians pay the highest tariff per kilowatt in Africa.

According to the President, Mr. Adeolu Ogunbanjo observed that before the latest hike in electricity tariff, Nigerians had been paying higher than countries with stronger economies.

‘‘Incontrovertibly, before this increment, Nigerians have been paying the highest tariff per kilowatt in Africa and contiguous regions. We pay higher than Egypt and countries with stronger economies,’’ he said.
