The Federal Government says it will start subsidising electricity in universities and health institutions under Band A feeders.

The Minister of Power, ADEBAYO ADELABU  disclosed this on Saturday in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The institutions said they were jointly presented with a bill of about N280m for May instead of the less than N100m they used to pay.

The minister said that the government is aware that universities and hospitals are having challenges paying the bills.

He however noted that the government would not subsidise private businesses operating in these universities and hospitals.
