I don't know the exact section on this forum to post this but the mods should help me take this to the appropriate section if I missed my way.

In civilized societies, it is expected that citizens/residents enjoy what they pay for as regard bills and utility but over here, we are made to pay for things we are normally not suppose to pay for. A good example is the issue of Nigerians paying through their noses to buy transformers and maintain these transformers. Is this not absurd? Consumers pay ridiculous amounts as electricity bills and they would also be asked to buy and maintain transformers! I would like to know if it is in place for Nigerians to buy, repair and maintain transformers and other facilities that go with electricity, when we as consumers pay electricity bills It is just like going to a restaurant to eat and after paying for the food, you are asked to pay for the plates that have been used to serve you.

Mind you, this has been the case even when the service of providing electricity was completely in the hands of the government and not private firms!

Because the government won't buy us another one and if they pay the money for a new one the bosses at NEPA use it to buy trophy and not transformer

It is so disappointing. After everything, they (PHCN) would still claim ownership of transformers.
