Many residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have berated the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) over the epileptic power supply presently being experienced.
Residents from Kubwa, Kuje, and Dutse spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Sunday.
According to them, they do not get a power supply for more than five hours a day.
They urged AEDC to improve its infrastructure to meet the demands of its customers.
Mrs. Eniola Williams, a civil servant residing in Phase 2, Kubwa, said that the epileptic power supply in her area was frustrating.
Williams said that in the last three months, they had not had power supply for more than three hours a day.
“It will be better if they supply power one day on, and one day off, rather than what we are currently experiencing.
“The AEDC should improve its infrastructure so that we get value for our money, ”she said.
Mrs. Oluchi Emeka, also residing in Kubwa, said that the AEDC’s inability to meet the demand of electricity users was frustrating.
Emeka stated that many small businesses had collapsed due to the inadequate supply of electricity in the area.
“Our businesses have collapsed because we have an unstable power supply in parts of Kubwa, as we do not get power supply for five hours a day, ’’ she said.
Mr. Emmanuel Ogar, an engineer residing in Kuje, said that the power supply in his area was erratic and this was affecting their daily activities.
Ogar said that due to the poor electricity supply, they could not stock their refrigerator with food items, as they might spoil.
He appealed to AEDC to take measures to improve the power supply in that area as they were really suffering.
Mr. Emmanuel Ogbomo, a welder residing in Kuje, also said that the unstable power supply had affected his business, as he was no longer getting customers.
According to him, we do not get power supply four hours in a day and some days have complete blackout.
”This has affected my business as I can no longer meet up with my customers’ demands and I am losing money every day.
“The AEDC should find a way of improving their infrastructure to ensure power supply is stable and constant, ”he said.
Mrs Dorcas Edet, a fashion designer residing in Dutse said that she had to wake up at night to sew because most times there will not be electricity during the day, but at night.
