The House of Representatives Committee on Privatization and Commercialization on Saturday charged the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company , Mr. Ernest Mupwaya on 24 hours daily power supply to the Federal Capital Territory in the next one year.
But the committee urged him to fulfill the pledge of 24 hours /daily supply to the FCT in the next one year. His words: “We are also targeting a grid to give 24/7 to all industries which is stage one, which is estimated to supply 50mw. Once we do this and stabilize, the next level is to move FCT to 24/7.”
Mupwaya noted that as much as the AEDC loves to borrow funds for more capital expenditure, it cannot demonstrate its ability to payback to the lenders because NBET has raised its charges by 16 percent.
They should spell it out.. 24/7 DOES NOT mean 24 minutes of power , 7 days a week!
