A presidential candidate warns that industrial growth is hindered by high energy costs. Manufacturers are struggling to keep factories running due to expensive diesel and other energy sources. Energy expenses have become a significant burden, with diesel prices reaching over N2,000 per litre in some areas.
The candidate's statement was issued through a senior assistant, reacting to a proposed bond arrangement. Further details on the candidate's concerns and the proposed arrangement are available.
