Igbokwe begs Tinubu to lower electricity tariff after spending ₦20k in a day

Published

Igbokwe made the plea in a post on his Facebook page over the weekend.
Many Nigerians have called for a reverse of the policy, as individuals and businesses under Band A complained of spending too much on electricity.
However, Igbokwe, a staunch supporter of Tinubu’s presidency, appeared to have gotten his dose of the painful electricity charges some days ago.
As revealed in his post, the APC chieftain lamented that ₦20,000 worth of units only lasted him for just a day.
“PBAT, 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 N20,0000. Yesterday we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this,” he wrote.

The Police Command in Ogun on Friday said they are on the trail of the truck driver who crushed three automobile technicians to death at Kemta, Abeokuta, on Wednesday.
CSP Omolola Odutola, the Command’s Spokesperson, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abeokuta.
Odutola explained that the driver escaped the scene immediately after the incident.
NAN reports that several automobile technicians at the Ajebo Mechanic Village Abeokuta on Thursday protested the killing of their colleagues.
The technicians, members of the Nigeria Automobile Technicians Association (NATA), blocked the Ajebo/OGTV road and vowed not to allow trucks to ply it until necessary steps were taken.
They sought a concrete solution to eliminate the series of accidents being experienced around the area by the government.
The police spokesperson told NAN that the technicians were aware of the police efforts to apprehend the driver.
” The driver is at large. The technicians are aware of the whole issue that he has not been arrested. The truck is in the police station,” she said.
Odutola explained that the police representatives had long discussions with truck owners, technicians, and victims’ relatives.
In an interview with NAN, Saheed Arulogun, chairman of the Ajebo Mechanic Village, also confirmed that the truck driver was at large.
Arulogun noted that the truck owners were making moves to ensure that the deceased were released to their families for burial.
” They also said there will be a meeting to compensate the families of the deceased.
” There will be a meeting that will involve all parties by 4:00p.m today. We will know the next step after the meeting,” he said.

The wife of President Bola Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has said skewed messages projected by some movies, social media and religious organisations are fueling the get-rich-quick syndrome which is also driving Nigerias high rate of trafficking in persons. She stated this on Friday, February 7, when the Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) Binta Bello, led the top management of the agency to her office at the State House, Abuja. Senior Special Assistant to the First Lady on Media, Busola Kukoyi, in a statement titled First Lady reiterates call for re-orientation for hard work and patience’ said Mrs Tinubu also pledged her support to the agencys ongoing fight against human trafficking. The First Lady, who was briefed on the activities of the Agency, particularly the recent raid on a baby factory in Abuja, where 19 pregnant young girls were rescued, called on youths to stop making themselves easy targets for traffickers and other criminally minded people by embracing the virtues of patience and hard work. The get rich quick syndrome is not helping matters. Even our religious institutions are doing prosperity preaching and even the bible talks about work. Social media is also not helping. Nollywood as well, the statement read. The post Nollywood, social media, prosperity preaching by religious institutions fueling get-rich-quick syndrome Remi Tinubu appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
