Independence anniversary: Coalition worries over proposed electricity subsidy removal - Daily Post Nigeria

The Osun Civil Societies Coalition (OCSC) has voiced concerns over the planned phase-out of electricity subsidies starting in 2027, arguing that affordable electricity should be accessible to ordinary Nigerians. They warn that removing the subsidy could increase costs for households, workers, traders, farmers, and artisans, and lead to higher production costs and reduced disposable income. The coalition urged the federal government to address structural issues in the electricity sector, improve transparency, and implement measures to protect vulnerable consumers.
