Power Crisis: UN condemns FG over poor power supply


The United Nations has criticised the Federal Government for failing to provide improved power supply to millions of Nigerians.
It also condemned the government’s inability to offer effective electricity metering system.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights, Ms. Magdalena Carmona, and the Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination, Ms. Raquel Rolnik, signed a petition in which they...
criticised the government.
A statement from the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project on Sunday said the two rapporteurs blamed the government of President Goodluck Jonathan “over the impact of the Multi-Year Tariff Order II and its potential detrimental impact on the realisation of human rights of people living in extreme poverty in Nigeria.”
A check on UN website confirmed the petition.
