Disruption of Electricity in the South East Imminent as ECTDA seals its offices EEDC Offices

There is imminent loss of electricity distribution in the South East as the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority, today without notification locked out the staff of the company in Enugu, south east Nigeria for reasons that are yey to ascertained at the moment. This is so, because the management of the company through it's Head, Corporate Communications, Mr Emeka Ezeh explained in a press release issued to this medium.

He said that "On arriving for work this morning, we were surprised to meet our Corporate Head Office sealed by the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA)."

"This development is strange because there was no notice of any sort by the agency to our organisation."

"We were informed by the Security Men on duty that in the early hours of today (Tuesday), at about 1.53am, a group of men came and locked up the gates, claiming that the State Governor directed the action."

"Our Abakpa, Awkunanaw, and Ogui District offices were not spared as their gates were equally sealed and locked."

As at now, there has not been any clear information/ communication from ECTDA explaining their action, it's however unfortunate that this may lead tp loss of power supply in the south east if the situation is not promptly handled.

"We however suspect that this action might not be unconnected to the notice of disconnection published by EEDC informing indebted customers of intention to commence disconnection today, Tuesday 11th June, 2024."

"Enugu State Government happens to be one of the indebted customers with over N1 Billion owed to EEDC. It is important to state that majority of the state government's facilities are metered (so, it is not a case of estimated billing)."

"EEDC has about N180 Billion as debt owed the company and has concluded plans to commence disconnection of indebted customers."

The above senario should leave no one in doubt why electricity has not been constant recently in the South East and who are the real culprit to this bad situation.
