Niger Assembly summons AEDC regional manager over poor power supply

Published by

Niger State House of Assembly has summoned the regional manager, Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, (AEDC) to appear at the plenary of the House next Tuesday.

This was following a motion sponsored by Member Representing Bida II Constituency, Hon. Mohammed Alhaji Haruna at the House plenary.

While presenting the motion, Hon. Haruna informed his colleagues that the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC)is the sole distributor of electricity in most parts of Niger State.

Hon. Haruna further explained that the power supply in recent times across the state has been very poor and erratic, many areas hardly get power supply, adding that those enjoying electricity supply are those on 33kva lin

The member maintained that this has affected a lot of business activities as most of them rely on electricity supply in order to operate their businesses, lack of which has caused many to fold up because they can’t afford to fuel generators as an alternative to electricity supply.

The legislator stated that without adequate power supply, the state water works cannot supply water.

At the end of the presentation and deliberations, the House unanimously adopted the prayers of the motion by inviting the regional manager of AEDC to appear at the plenary of the House next Tuesday.
