The current state of the Nigerian power sector characterised by tariff subsidy mostly benefits the relatively rich as more rich people are connected and consume more electricity, according to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission. Meanwhile; in comparison of end-user electricity tariffs in the Economies of West African States member countries, NERC said the end-user tariff in Nigeria is lower than electricity tariff in most others. Available data on electricity tariffs in West Africa revealed that the average electricity tariff in Nigeria in 2021 was US$0.14/kWh and was relatively lower than the average electricity tariff in most ECOWAS countries;The NERC said the relatively low electricity tariff in Nigeria was partly due to the tariff subsidy provided by the Federal Government and the relatively cheaper gas price to the power sector in Nigeria. “End user tariff subsidy in Nigeria is pro-rich as top-income group consumes more electricity than low-income group, thereby benefiting more from subsidy than the lower income earners,” the report added. The end-user tariffs vary by each Disco and depict a general increase between 2019-2022.

United States President, Joe Biden wants Congress to quickly pass billions of dollars in new aid for both Israel and Ukraine, but the Republican-controlled lower chamber on Thursday is set to consider a bill that puts Kyiv on the back burner. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress want to promptly adopt military aid for Israel, a long-standing US partner at war with Hamas. Washington is Kyiv’s biggest military backer, having committed tens of billions of dollars since Russia invaded in February 2022. The situation is drastically different in the Democrat-controlled Senate, where most Republicans have voiced support for boosting aid to Ukraine. Aware that war fatigue is growing in some US political circles, Biden has decided to couple his aid request for Ukraine — over $61 billion — with that for Israel, around $14 billion.
