I decided to repost this after receiving it from a friend via WhatsApp as I have experienced same criminal representation and billing of electricity consumption in Enugu too


Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) are the biggest fraud in Nigeria at the moment. They refuse to provide meters for their customers and instead resort to estimate billing for them. This estimation is not done in collaboration with the customers and there isn't any agreed formula to arrive at the monthly consumption used to bill customers. Rather they simply put any figure that please them and when customers fail to meet with payment they are disconnected and made to pay reconnection fee ranging between #1000 to #10000 depending on the case. I stay in Ugbene 2 in Enugu now where I just relocated to from one of d major cities in d north. My first month energy consumption was 322Kwh and I was billed #10,457. In d North where pre paid meters r rampant I use energy worth #5,000 monthly and that amounts to about 180kwh. I complained to the EEDC marketer in charge of my area but she asked that I channel my grievance to EEDC mgt as the matter is above her paygrade. After reluctantly settling the bill, I quickly made move to apply for a meter so as to avoid a repeat of such outrageous estimation. I went to their business unit at Osimiri road in Abakpa and was told that application for meters have been put on hold till further notice. They also advised that I check back after a month. Now I received my next bill and EEDC estimated my consumption at 466kwh which amounts to 14,413.

This whole scenario raises some questions which begs for answers. Electricity meters r part of the electrical installation that should be in place before even a customer begins to make use of any service and these installations should be free because they remain property of the electricity supplier. How come EEDC deliberately left out something as important as meters out of their installation? Why is it that prepaid meters are all over d place in the North but people are writing application and being wait listed to acquire same in the southeast? How does EEDC arrive at their estimation for unmetered customers? Why must customers be forced to pay outrageous fees not commensurate with their actual consumption? How long will Enugu people stay silent about this? Why isn't NERC putting EEDC in check as regards this criminal billing system? Where is EFCC, ICPC and the likes as which corruption/ fraud is worse than this?

Forward this broadcast to your contacts that stay in Enugu. There should be no sitting on the fence on this one. One of the evidences of your education is in your speaking out against such widespread criminality and broad daylight robbery. Enough is enough!
