Popular Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw has raised her displeasure over Nigeria’s electricity band tariff system, describing it as deceptive and exploitative.
Taking to 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), the veteran actress criticized the classification model, claiming it does not reflect the actual electricity supply consumers receive.
According to her, despite being on the high-paying Band A, which is meant to ensure over 20 hours of electricity daily, she barely receives two hours of power.
“This banding of electricity is a huge FRAUD! I said it before, and I repeat it again,” she wrote.
Henshaw further likened the billing approach to a Ponzi scheme, referencing the now-defunct CBEX scheme.
She wrote, “When they know they can’t generate enough energy to supply the people, you raise tarriff and still drop the supply! Is that not CBex-ing of the people??”
Expressing frustration with the estimated billing method, she added: “That estimated billing na daylight robbery with bazooka guns!!! I said what I said!!!”
The actress’s comments reflect the growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians facing high utility bills with little to no improvement in power supply.
