Aminat Ibrahim, the President of Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies, on Friday assured Nigerians of improved power supply after the ongoing project s are completed.
Ibrahim told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that there were many projects initiated by the present administration that would improve the supply of power.
She said the present service charge by PHCN was not high compared to what was obtainable in other parts of the world, adding that the service charge was just for 15 days.
Ibrahim said, “We bill for only 15 days because we know that Nigerians do not use light for 24hrs in a day.
“The high rate Nigerians are complaining about is not true, if you look at our rate in billing.
“We bill people for 15 days because we know that people don’t use light for 24 hrs in a day.
“If we look at the intention of privatisation, we will see that it is a good one and we are trying to see how we can service the nation for 24 hours.
“We know it will take time but Nigerians want that to happen immediately.
“There is a lot of investment that is going on now that by the time all the projects are concluded you will see a positive change in the electricity situation.”
She expressed belief that the incoming administration would look into the sector and explore various ways that the problem of power supply can be improved upon in the country.

ReplyDeleteGod punish this man and his family.In many areas they see power less than 3hrs a month.How do you calculate that.Thieves enriching themselves in the name of public service and then come out to rub it on our faces.Thunder fire you and your generation for the next 5,000years
ReplyDeleteI live in the UK where I pay about £19 monthly for 24hours round the clock electricity this incompetent people should stop lying to Nigerians about charges for electricity in other countries
ReplyDeleteGod bless u. They talk as if no one has nd will never visit or leave in these other countries they're talking about.
DeleteAminat Ibrahim U ARE A CAPITAL ROGUE. Don't charge us for 15 day. give every house their prepaid meter if you will get revenue for 1day. The fraud perpetrated by the federal Govt and the PHCN owners is worse than any fraud you can think of. If from 25th of March till date i have used almost 8 25ltr jerry cans of fuel @ 2,800/keg, what use is PHCN to me? yet they brought a bll of 4,500. IF THE GOVT IS NOT PART OF THE FRAUD LET THEM MANDATE PHCN DISTRIBUTORS, A DEADLINE TO PROVIDE PREPAID METER FOR EVERY HOUSE OR HAVE THEIR LICENSE WITHDRAWN AND LETS SEE IF POWER WON'T IMPROVE.
ReplyDeleteI spend #1000 every day to purchase fuel for use in my business place and #500 everyday for home use. Dat means i'm spending #43500 every month on fuel and still pay electric bills. How much profit do I make in a month then considering d slow nature of business in Makurdi Benue state. Do u guys tink i'm proud to be a nigerian? Fuck our leaders, Fuck Jonathan, and Fuck those PHCN executives.
ReplyDeletedis idiots r taken us 4 granted. can any Nigerian boast of 15 days electricity suply a month, yet u charge 15 days of no lght or wht...and u still come out in d public and open ur gutter stinking mouth to and say nigerlians r lying about d crazy useless bills u bring us every month...it shall not b well wth u bcoz u will face ur waterloo soon Amirat ibrahim Shekau
