Senate suspends power tariff hike till further notice
The meeting which was headed by the Senate president, Bukola Saraki was reportedly attended by the minister for power, works and housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola and Dr. Chris Ngige, minister for labour and employment.
Saraki stated that the decision made was necessary because a new tariff should be preceded by quality service delivery from the company.
