Federal Secretariat In Darkness Over N120m Electricity Debt by osahonmk(m): 8:08pm On Feb 21, 2017
The Federal Secretariat in Abuja is currently in total electricity blackout.

The complex houses most of the ministries, department and agencies, of the Federal Government.

Activities in the complex have been grounded over a week now due to lack of electricity to power basic equipment in the building.

Sources said the Phase 1 of the Federal Secretariat complex also known as the Secretary of the Government for the Federation building was in darkness due to over N120 millhered that civil servants and some other public officers abandoned the duties in the complex due to the blackout.

Sources said some of the ministers whose offices are located in the building now boycott their offices.

The affected phase of the complex provides accommodation for the Ministries of Women Affairs, Niger Delta Affairs; Labour and Productivity; part of Health and many other government offices.

Also, staff of the offices affected who only come to sign the attendance register either use rechargeable lamps or torchlight from their phone to maneuver around the darkness.

It was learnt that the staff of the affected MDAs only report for duty for the purposes of signing their attendance register, as no work can be done without electricity.

They were mostly at the foyers and verandas of their offices while using either reachable lamps and torchlight from their handsets, when they had to enter the offices.

A credible source at the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) said the decision to disconnect the federal secretariat was taken as part of the company’s debt recovery drive.
