Fashola made the appeal during the monthly meeting held on Monday, 8th February in Lagos with stakeholders in the power sector.
Fashola said,
"Importanttly, I understand that people who have been disappointed over a long time will feel a sense of concern that again tariffs have gone up.
But the truth is that these tariffs ought to have been there from day one. I don't know why the government of yesterday was not courageous enough to tell us this was tthe price.
It is a painful pill that I must appeal that we swallow. It is like quinine and malaria. It's painful; it's not sweet, I know that, but I do it because we are not left with many choices.
This is the first major decision in power that this administration has taken. There are other problems. I can only appeal for some trust that we do this in the best interest of our country", Fashola said.
