Northern Senators Begs Tinubu To Restore Electricity To Niger Republic

Senators from the Northern region of the country have asked President Bola Tinubu to restore electricity to Niger Republic. They also asked the military junta in Niger Republic to return the country to democratic rule.

The lawmakers, under the aegis of Northern Senators Forum (NSF), said this in a communique issued at the end of their meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

The appeal is coming about four months after Nigeria cut power supply to Niger Republic, as one of the sanctions against the coupists in the country. NSF Chairman, Abdul Ningi, the senator representing Bauchi Central, read the communique to journalists on behalf of the forum.

“We asked the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and of course, the ECOWAS Chairman, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to as a matter of humanitarian gesture restore electricity in Niger Republic” Mr Ningi said.
