Time To Probe The Corruption in EEDC As 50 Communities Are Thrown In To Darkness


50 Anambra communities suffer power failure
By Isaac Ojo On 27/02/2016
Over 50 out of 177 Anam­bra State communities are currently experienc­ing a total electric power black­out occasioned by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Compa­ny (EEDC)
The traditional ruler of Enu­gu-Ukwu in Njikoka Local Gov­ernment Area, Igwe Ralph Ekp­eh made this known yesterday at Nnewi during a town hall meeting organised by the EEDC.
Igwe Ekpeh pointed out that the electricity distribution compa­ny had earlier set up a power sub-station in Enugu-Ukwu and ac­tually commissioned the project with the communities in the area rejoicing that an end had come to their electricity problems. Howev­er, four days after the commission­ing of the power sub-station, the over 50 communities that got elec­tricity supply were thrown into to­tal darkness.
Igwe said that all efforts to make the officials of the EEDC see reason and effect necessary re­pairs fell on deaf ears as nothing was done to rectify the problem.
Igwe Ekpeh pointed out that as a result of the blackout, many factories in the area had to close shop because they could not afford running their factories with pow­er generating sets.
The traditional ruler ex­pressed worry that the electrici­ty distribution company is always asking the communities to pro­tect their facilities which they have done to the best of their abilities and that it is incumbent on EEDC with its far-reaching connections to partner with security agencies to properly police their facilities.
Also, the Oduma-Obosi community represented by Pas­tor Chizoba Nnaduoju said that they are tired of paying estimated electricity bills which he said the EEDC has used to defraud their community.
Pastor Nnaduoju noted that the community is always made to cough out huge sums of money for the power they did not consume, pointing out that the introduction of prepaid meters will permanent­ly solve that problem.
An Nnewi-based business­man, Chief Kenneth Maduako, who is also the President Gener­al of Azia community noted that there is no difference between NEPA, Power Holdings and the EEDC because they are all exploit­ative in their operations.
He alleged that the entire Ihiala communities are always switched off by the EEDC when­ever there is any festivity like Christmas, Easter and others but the communities would still be billed for those months they are in blackout.Source:omambala dot com(pic)People Demostrating Against EEDC @ Obosi Anambra State!.

More!

They can never be perfect but atleast they are trying their very best to serve almost the entire south east region.
Comparing EEDC with NEPa and the rest shows that you have been in abroad for the past 30 yrs
