Viewers Corner News wrote an article in the past (June 3, 2016) concerning the electricity tariff hike in Nigeria. Honestly before any government increases price of any service or placed taxes on any item for the citizens of the country, proper study would have to be carried out and in doing so the government should first take the welfare of the citizens of the country into consideration. Now the economic hardship in Nigeria has reached an alarming stage and as if that is not enough, an increment of electricity tariff would be imposed on the citizens of Nigeria who are struggling to feed their families, this is not right at all.
The best thing for the government to do would be to create economic stability in the country (Nigeria) before asking people to pay for whatever increment the government may bring to them, that is how it should be done. Therefore the decision of the federal high court in Nigeria nullifying the electricity tariff hike is a welcome news for the citizens of the country (Nigeria). The federal government of Nigeria should look elsewhere to raise fund and have their programs implemented instead of taxing the poor citizens of the country (Nigeria) who have no steady means of livelihood. Again a country where social help is not available for the citizens of the country (Nigeria), honestly life must be very hard for them.
