Nigerian musician, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, has raised alarm over the amount of money he is spending to buy diesel monthly.
The singer who stated this in a post he shared on his Instagram stories claimed that he spent monthly over N3million.
He noted that this was due to the poor supply of electricity to several households in African most populous country.
Paul Okoye while lamenting the bad economic conditions of the country mentioned that he purchased his first car for N120,000.
Paul Okoye wrote; “Bought my first car N120,000 years back and I was very proud of that …now I spend N3million on diesel for just a month … Total madness Only God knows what a common man is going through.”
Nigeria has the lowest access to electricity globally, with about 92 million persons out of the country’s 200 million population lacking access to power, the Energy Progress Report 2022 released by Tracking SDG 7, revealed.
The report, produced in conjunction with the International Energy Agency, International Renewable Energy Agency, United Nations Statistics Division, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation, indicated that Nigeria was followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 72 million, Ethiopia’s 56 million and Pakistan’s 54 million access deficits.
The latest report, which covered 2020, noted that access to electricity in Nigeria remained poor because electrification advances failed to keep pace with population growth. This, it said, was in contrast with Kenya and Uganda’s fastest progress in electrification due to their annualised increases of more than three per cent points between 2010 and 2020.
