Coronavirus: Lawmaker Urges FG to Suspend Payment of Utility Bills for Two Months
A member representing Maiyama/Koko/Besse Federal Constituency (APC) Kebbi State in the House of Representatives, Shehu Koko, has called on the federal government to suspend payment of electricity and water bills for the ordinary Nigerians for two months.
Koko, in a statement issued Monday commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the immediate implementation of the repayment moratorium for all Tradermoni, MarketMoni and FarmerMoni loans, but added that free access to power and water should be included.
According to him, “Our Country is going through trying times just like the international communities. While we continue to pray for God to come to our rescue, I urge the federal government to provide basic amenities like water and electricity at no cost especially those at the grassroots level without interruption.”
Koko said this would go a long way to assist the federal government’s decision to provide relief materials to citizens this period.
He added, “Though these amenities are private sector driven, we urge the government to intervene and ameliorate the sufferings of the people.”
