A PRESS STATEMENT BY NDIGBO UNITY FORUM (NUF)

STOP THE HIKE IN THE ELECTRICITY BILLS IN SOUTH EAST

Despite the poor electricity supply in the country, new owners of the privatized power holding company of Nigeria (PHCN) have not deemed it fit to regulate the outrageous bill usually imposed on its helpless customer. Having seen that the scenario is not likely to change unless actions are taking  by relevant authorities, Ndigbo Unity Forum an Igbo Social  cultural Organization decide to use this medium to appeal to the government and other regulatory body to look into this matter and ensure that this unjustified exploitation of the people of the south East by the owners of the privatized power holding company is stop.

Nigerians, not withstanding the skepticism, tried their best by embracing the privatization of PHCN with the hope that it signal the  end of epileptic power supply in the country, unfortunately the doubters of this whole process of privatization of power has been proved right no thanks to the continuous epileptic power supply and outrageous bill.  This ugly trend especially in the east is champion by Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC).

In order to put an end to this ugly trend, Ndigbo Unity Forum is making the following demands:

1.      We call on federal government and other regulatory bodies to mandate Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to distribute prepaid meter to all its consumers in the South East especially Onitsha, Abakiliki, Okigwe, Nsukka, Owerri, Aba, Umuahia, Orlu, Nnewi, Awka, Oji River, Afikpo and Arochukwu

2.     Government should monitor closely the activities of the private owners closely and ensure that this outrageous imposing of ridiculous bill on helpless citizens is stop.

3.     We urged President Goodluck Jonathan to interfere and resolve the issues that has been delaying Geometric power from providing power to Aba city: A city of more than one million people which is also one of the industrial hub of Nigeria

4.     We called on the Dr Sam Amadi, led Nigeria Electrical Regulatory Commission to remove the N750 fixed charge since the payment cannot be justify.

5.     The Federal Government should withdraw the license Enugu Electricity Distribution Company if  the company fall to regulate the outrageous bills it impose on the people of south east and hand it over for a more considerate and competent cooperate bodies.
