Ongoing Protest At IKEDC (Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company) In Bariga by kay29000(m): 9:38am On Mar 30, 2016
I went to pay my electricity bill around 8:30am this morning at the Bariga Undertaking Office of IKEDC (Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company) and I met an ongoing protest. Some residence of the Ladi-Lak area of Bariga were complaining of very poor power supply. Some said they have not had power for 8 months. My own area is Akinola zone in Bariga, and we have power supply just about 6 hours (daily) or less these days.

IKEDC officials came to address the crowd and said it was a nationwide problem, but that it would get better in the next couple of weeks. Look at pictures from the protest below.

Even in the home state of the Two rocket science engineers, the power minister and the vice president the story remains the same. Even zombies who were like he will give us 24hrs power supply, not this 7hrs supply GEJ is giving us join for protest.
