SERAP Asks Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission To Reverse Increment In Tariff

  The Socio-Economic Right And Accountability Project has urged the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to immediately reverse the increase in electricity tariff for Nigerians. NERC had disclosed that following December 2019 Minor Review of Multi-Year Tariff Order 2015 and Minimum Remittance Order for the Year 2020, there would be an increment in electricity tariff starting from April 2019. SERAP said it would pursue legal means if NERC refused to reverse the plan as it holds that the United Nations has barred the arbitrary increase of electricity tariff and as Nigeria is a member of the organisation, the country should be guided by the UN decision on the matter. “We’ll pursue appropriate legal action if this decision is not immediately withdrawn and the arbitrary increase in electricity suspended,” SERAP said. The rights group posited that while Nigeria continues to derail in the generation and distribution of electricity, failure of states ...

Bayo Oluwasanmi Bayo Oluwasanmi   “The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.” - President Dwight D. Eisenhower.  Last week, General Muhammadu Buhari re-ignited the issue of overseas medical treatment for government officials when he warned that Nigerians cannot continue going overseas for treatment.  He said, “Nigerians have suffered much going abroad for medical treatment. This is not good for us and it must stop because we can’t afford it again.”   General Buhari is the most guilty of the same problem he warned Nigerians against. He didn’t say how Nigerians including himself who frequent overseas hospitals for treatment suffered, why we can’t afford it, how much it cost the nation yearly, and whether he would no more go overseas for follow up treatment.  Among litany of campaign promises mad...

Nigeria Immigration Service Re-introduce $90 Biometrics Fee For Foreigners

  Eighteen months after the suspension of the biometric visa-on-arrival fee by the Nigeria Immigration Service, SaharaReporters can authoritatively report that the service has re-introduced the controversial charges. A source close to NIS confided in our correspondent on Monday that the service re-introduced the fee without publicity or informing impending travellers into the country of the new policy. The fee is irrespective of the visa charges imposed on foreign travellers coming into the country, which varies from country to country. When the same policy was first introduced on June 25, 2018, it caused chaos at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and other international gateways across the country. Apart from the $90 fee, foreigners were also compelled to pay additional $20 as service charge to the Federal Government through a concessionaire. Information gathered by our correspondent indicated that the new policy of $90 biometric did not exempt the c...

Nnamdi Kanu Is A Herdsman By Churchill Okonkwo

  The Tragedy of the Commons by Hardin (1968) is an economic theory that describes how people often use natural resources to their advantage without considering the good of a group or society as a whole. When a few individuals consider only their own welfare in this manner, it leads to negative outcomes for everybody, as the natural resource becomes depleted. The famous example given by Hardin includes pastureland that people use to graze their cattle. Herdsmen who operate under The Tragedy of the Commons don’t consider how excessive grazing or adding additional cattle to their herd will impact another herdsman or everyone as a whole in the long run. The more herdsmen who only consider their own herd and profit, the more the pasture is run down and the more all the herds suffer. As Hardin (1968) put it, “Freedom in a common brings ruin to all”. The idea of the commons can be extrapolated to many different contexts where humans believe they should have free reign which af...
