Reps order suspension of electricity tariff hike, summon petroleum minister over fuel scarcity
The House of Representatives has ordered the suspension of the hike of electricity tariff by the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC.
It also summoned the Minister of Petroleum Resources over the current fuel scarcity.
These decisions followed the adoption of separate motions moved by Shehu Ajilo and Kama Nkem Karama on Tuesday.
It would be recalled that NERC ordered the increment in tariff while the lawmakers were on holiday. In addition, fuel scarcity is ravaging the entire country following the inability of NNPC Limited to provide products to marketers.
Shehu Ajilo moved the motion on petroleum scarcity, and the motion was taken without debate.

Equally, the motion was adopted without debate.
