Angry Consumers Decry Crazy Electricity Bills, Urge Reps To End It.

Angry electricity consumers invaded the town hall meeting organised by House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee investigating means of Curbing the Excessive  Electricity Charges Levied on Consumers, on Monday with stories of bad experiences.

The Monday meeting was organized for customers in the North Central zone. Earlier,  the committee had been to Lagos, Enugu and Yola.

Majority of the consumers who came from Kogi, Niger, Nassarawa and the Federal Capital Territory to the session that was held in Nassarawa on Monday, took turns to present their complaints and grievances. 

The highlighted complaints the customers raised as not being satisfied  with; included over- billing, non- supply of electricity, rude staff, none- supply of transformers, ignored complaints and low voltage to mention a few.

The very unhappy customers also did not have good compliments for the Managing Director of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) Ernest  Mupwaya , even as they raised various  questions especially on the estimated billing system and  issues on operational inefficiencies and inadequacies.

During the tense meeting, there was a major argument on if Communities that buy transformers for themselves in a bid to assist in providing electricity should be compensated or not.
