Electricity Woes Deepen as Fuel Prices Soar, Straining Nigerian Homes and Businesses
Nigeria’s persistent electricity crisis is worsening. Erratic power and high fuel prices are hitting homes and businesses across Kano, Kaduna, Lagos and Kwara. Promised improvements from the Minister of Power have failed to materialise. Many residents report fewer than five hours of supply daily despite being placed on higher tariff bands. Small business owners bear the brunt. Soft-drink vendors now hike prices, while some buy ice daily to keep goods cold. Rising generator and diesel costs threaten many enterprises. Energy analysts call the two-week recovery pledge unrealistic. With diesel at N1,800 per litre and petrol at N1,400, businesses face economic strangulation. Experts urge urgent action to stabilise energy supply and protect livelihoods.
