This resolution was reached following a motion presented by Aliyu Madaki, who expressed strong disapproval of the price hike, especially considering the recent increase in petrol prices that has already burdened many Nigerians.
Madaki emphasized that it is inappropriate and insensitive to introduce such a significant tariff increase at a time when citizens are still grappling with the impact of the petrol price surge.
In response to the motion, the House has mandated its committee on power, to engage in discussions with NERC to find a middle ground on how to address the proposed tariff hike, considering the current economic challenges faced by the populace.
The lawmakers assured that the House remains committed to safeguarding the interests of Nigerians and ensuring that decisions made by regulatory bodies are in line with the welfare of the citizens.
