BusinessDay’s account says Nigeria’s debate over President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic agenda is increasingly focused on how the public experiences the effects of policy changes.

The outlet published its account Tuesday, Nov. 3. Tinubu’s reform agenda includes ending the petrol subsidy and unifying the foreign-exchange market.

Separately, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) reported that 7,743,839 of Nigeria’s 12,589,486 active electricity customers had meters at the end of June 2026, a coverage rate of 61.51%. Distribution companies installed 203,521 meters that month, up from 104,585 in May.

EconoTimes previously reported the metering figures alongside coverage of unfinished power-sector work.
