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.
