The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) warns that the recent increase in electricity tariffs could have a negative effect on the ease of doing business in Nigeria, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The ACCI emphasizes that the ease of doing business is crucial for economic growth, attracting investments, and creating job opportunities. The increase in electricity tariffs could impose additional financial burdens on businesses, hindering their operations and increasing expenses.

“Regrettably, the increase in electricity tariffs can hinder these efforts by imposing additional financial burdens on businesses, especially SMEs, which are the backbone of our economy.” Obegolu also expressed concern that the tariff hike, combined with other economic challenges such as the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange unification, could further compound difficulties faced by businesses.

“As advocates for the business community, we urge relevant authorities to reconsider this decision and explore alternative solutions that prioritise the needs of businesses and support ease of doing business.“It is vital to strike a balance between ensuring a sustainable energy sector and mitigating the adverse effects of tariff hikes on businesses, particularly during these trying times.”
