In 2023, the majority of age groups in a study conducted in Nigeria followed more or less the same trend in terms of their opinions on whether they were paying a proportional amount for their electricity consumption. For instance, 70 percent of the respondents between 18 and 35 years old confirmed that their electricity bills were disproportionate to their consumption, while 18 percent reported their approval of their electricity bills. However, a fifth of the respondents over 61 years claimed they could not say if their electricity bills were in line with their consumption.
