Nigerian capital's electricity users protest against steep price hikes for prepaid meters.

Electricity consumers in Nigeria's capital are protesting a price hike for prepaid meters by distribution companies. The cost of a single-phase meter rose from about ₦117,000 to ₦149,800, and a three-phase meter from ₦206,345 to ₦236,500. Consumers argue the increase is unfair given the country's economic struggles and suggest the government should provide meters free or lower their prices.
