The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company PLC (EEDC) has announced that it would commence the disconnection of electricity supply to universities with outstanding bills on June 10. The decision arises in response to the substantial accumulation of unpaid electricity bills and accrued arrears, which have posed significant financial challenges for the company.
RECOMMENDED: Strike: Minister of Finance Proposes ₦105,000 Minimum Wage Amidst Mixed Reactions
To sustain its operations and uphold service provision, the EEDC emphasized the necessity for customers to settle their bills for consumed energy promptly.
According to them, without the full payment of these bills, it would encounter difficulties in maintaining operational efficiency and enhancing service standards.
"Some of the indebted universities and schools include the University of Nigeria (Enugu & Nsukka Campuses), the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Ebonyi State University, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria Prisons Training School, and the Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki"
SUGGESTED: Presidency Denies Reports of N105,000 Minimum Wage Proposal
The EEDC urges all customers with pending bills to expedite the settlement of their debts to avoid disconnection and ensure the sustained effectiveness of the company in serving its community.
