 Poor electricity supply: Community threatens not to pay bills.

The Eleko community said they have been experiencing poor power supply for four months

Some members of Eleko community in Anfeyin Area Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Wednesday threatened to stop paying their monthly electricity bills until the power supply was improved in the area.

The community issued the threat during a peaceful demonstration against the poor power supply in the area.

A man was saying different inscriptions, including “NEPA no Dey give us light regularly”.

Speaking with the MAGAJI of the community, Karimu Aremu, said that the community had been grappling with erratic power supply for the past four months.

He added that several complaints made on the issue had yet to bear fruit.

He said the only response from the electricity distribution company was what he called “exorbitant bill”.

The Magaji said the people were not in the organisation’s office to unleash violence but make their problems known to the authorities, urging the power company to adjust in its supply and distribution.

He, however, advised the community to submit their letter of grievances for onward dispatch to the company’s head office in Ibadan.
