联邦政府已宣布计划从2027年起逐步取消电力补贴，作为解决电力部门不断增加的债务问题的一环。\n\n电力部长Joseph Tegbe周五在一次媒体交流会上透露了这一计划，他表示补贴将逐步取消，消费者不会失去电力服务。\n\nTegbe表示：我们得到了总统先生的授权，要清偿历史债务，并建立可持续的结构，以确保这类债务不再累积。\n\n我向大家保证，明年，上帝保佑，我们将叫停电力部门所谓的补贴。总统先生，我们不会剥夺尼日利亚的任何东西。我们将确保尼日利亚消费者继续拥有电力并改善电力服务。\n\n这位部长还表示，目前没有近期提高电价的计划。\n\n这一宣布与国际货币基金组织（IMF）关于尼日利亚逐步取消电力补贴的建议相一致。\n\n政府此前曾表示，截至2024年2月，补贴负担约为3万亿奈拉，而尼日利亚发电公司协会（Association of Power Generation Companies）称，发电商被欠款约6.5万亿奈拉。

The Federal Government has announced plans to phase out electricity subsidy payments from 2027 as part of efforts to address mounting debts in the power sector.

Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe disclosed the plan during a media interactive session on Friday, saying the subsidy would be removed gradually and consumers would not lose access to electricity services.

"We have the mandate of Mr President to clear the legacy debt and come up with sustainable structures to make sure this doesn't pile up any more," Tegbe said.

"I promise you, next year, by God's grace, we will put a stop to this so-called subsidy in the power sector. Mr President, we will not deprive Nigeria of anything. We'll make sure Nigerian consumers continue to have power and improve power services."

The minister also said there is no immediate plan to increase electricity tariffs.

The announcement aligns with recommendations by the International Monetary Fund for Nigeria to gradually remove electricity subsidies.

The government has previously put the subsidy burden at about N3 trillion as of February 2024, while the Association of Power Generation Companies says GenCos are owed roughly N6.5 trillion.
