In Ovia North East Local Council, nine cities in Edo State Nigeria have been denied electricity by their power holding company for the past 5 years, The Guardian reports.

The affected cities in Edo State Nigeria are namely betta, Utese, Uhen, Obgese, Olumoye, Ugbuwe, Aghanokpe, Okodo and Ugbodo.

The bundle have sited instances when they approached the state and federal governments about their plea and had received failed promises to aliviate their suffering. Most Nigerians living in Nigeria know by now that this is the reality of most issues taken to the government to solve.

Commenting on the issue, Mr. Terry Ebose, the youth President of Utese community, one of the affected cities in Edo State Nigeria, spoke with newsmen at lamenting that the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) for some unknown reason denied the cities in Edo State Nigeria electricity during their tenure. A situation which is yet to be resolved by the takeover company that serves Edo State, Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC).

Mr. Ebose explained that PHCN had told them that it’s installations that supplied the communities at Okada couldn’t carry the load of other communities simultaneously.

This resulted in the well renowned scenario of light sharing that some Lagos residents (like myself) have become accustomed to. This scheme saw these communities not having electricity for up to 2 weeks at a stretch before the company convinently forgot about them.

Meanwhile, successor, BEDC has claimed that the reason it hasn’t rectified the light issues is because the communities “suddenly” collectively owe the sum of N900, 000 within the 5 years under review.
