Following the impassioned online campaign initiated by UNIZIK students to address the prolonged power outage in Ifite-Awka, Enugu Electricity Distribution PLC (EEDC) has issued a response on X (formerly Twitter). While this development marks a potential turning point, the question remains whether it signifies progress or a continuation of the struggle for resolution.
The persistence of the power outage in Ifite-Awka has significantly disrupted the lives of UNIZIK students, prompting them to mobilize on social media platforms in a bid to compel action from EEDC. With the support of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo and influential Igbo personalities, the campaign gained momentum, drawing attention to the pressing issue.

EEDC's reply to the post on X signals a degree of acknowledgment of the students' concerns. While the specifics of the response remain undisclosed, the mere engagement from EEDC suggests a willingness to address the issue. However, the extent of this commitment and the concrete steps proposed for resolving the power outage remain uncertain.
In light of EEDC's response, UNIZIK students are urged to maintain their online activism and continue to exert pressure on the utility company. Reposting the campaign link provided by the initial post remains crucial for amplifying the message and garnering further support from the online community.
