Improved power supply: EEDC customers thump up firm
Positive reactions have continued to trail Enugu Electricity Distribution PLC (EEDC) over the recent improvement in electricity supply to its customers.
The recent reactions are coming from customers of the eastern electricity distribution. The customers cut across artisans, traders, housewives, industrialists in Enugu, Nsukka, Awka, Onitsha, Aba who were all commending EEDC for the level of improvement recorded within the last six weeks, acknowledging that it has drastically improved their businesses and quality of life.
One Emmanuel Chukwu, a barber at Agu Street, Achara Layout, Enugu said:
“Before I buy not less than N800 petrol daily so as to keep my business going but since the improvement in supply for two months running when I buy N800 petrol I use it for six days. For almost two months, I have continued to experience stable supply within my business hours, even if they take the light, you are sure that within 20 or 30 minutes it will be restored. I pray EEDC continues with this good work”.
Another customer, Ovunna Deckland from Abakaliki, Ebonyi State said:
“I commend EEDC for its effort in ensuring constant power supply within our jurisdiction in Abakaliki”.
On her part, Chika Highstar from Fegge Onitsha averred:
“EEDC is doing very well here in Fegge, they should keep it up”.
A welder on Agbani Road, Enugu, Mike Ugwuani noted, “the improvement in power supply has made me have confidence in EEDC because I now deliver jobs at agreed time and day. The days of excuses, quarrel and hiding from customers is over I now have steady electricity supply. Before now, I lose customers due to inability to meet demands due to unstable electricity, but today the story has changed.
For Ifeanyi Ossai, a tailor in Nza Street in Independent Layout, Enugu, “There has been increased improvement in electricity supply, which has helped me to meet my customers demand. Due to the relatively steady supply for about two months, I now close shop by 9p.m. and I cannot remember the last time I bought charcoal for my native pressing iron any longer’’.
Emeka Ezeh, Head, Corporate Communications, EEDC, in a press statement on Wednesday attributed the improvement to concerted efforts and huge investments made by the company in maintaining, upgrading and strengthening its network, a project that has been on for over a year.
“We are excited that our customers are already experiencing the effect of these efforts and hope they will reciprocate by promptly paying their energy bills”.
According to Ezeh, there is no way EEDC would be able to sustain this level of improvement if customers do not pay for the services.
