Power cuts like these are unusual in Niger, which normally has regular and reliable supplies.<\/p>\n<p>The President of Nigeria Consumer Protection Network and Coordinator, of Power Sector Perspectives, Kunle Olubiyo, confirmed that ECOWAS would isolate Niger Republic from the electricity supply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 60 per cent of power supply to Niger comes from Nigeria. Just like organised labour usually shuts down the national power grid as part of negotiations when all appeals might have failed to achieve results, Mr President (Tinubu) is the leader of ECOWAS at
