LAGOS ASSEMBLY APPEALS TO NASS OVER ELECTRICITY EXTORTION



AgegePulse Magazine


Lagos State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa  has called on the National Assembly to expedite actions over the estimated electricity bill.

       Hon. Rotimi Olowo who raised the issue Under Matters of Urgent Public Importance expressed dismay over the way EKO and IKEJA electricity companies have been extorting lagosians with exorbitant estimated bills.

       Hon. Sanai Agunbiade who contributed, added that sequel to the deliberations of House of Representatives on the issue, it was observed that the distribution companies went haywire and intensified efforts in disconnecting the power supply of more residents which may result in a violent reaction from communities.

       Hon. Tunde Braimoh said that there was a problem in the chain of power distribution as they generate megawatts without the adequate ability to distribute them.

       The House concluded that in view of the extortion and lack of commitment of the distribution companies, the National Assembly should expedite action on the estimated bill decision and the Electric Commission should scrutinise the activities of the DISCO & IKEJA over the extortion.
