The Abia state chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), has condemned, in strong terms, the unsatisfactory services of the Eastern Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), and called for improvements.
In their 12- point communiqué issued at the end their monthly congress held at the State secretariat of Abia State chapter of the NUJ, in Umuahia, and signed by the State chairman, Comrade Victor Ndukwe and secretary Ada Ralph Igbokwe, the journalists deplored the on-going epileptic power supply by the EEDC, high tariff, inability of EEDC to replace damaged or obsolete transformers and the loss of huge revenues by the business community as a result of long power outages in the urban centres, especially, those in the hospitality, printing, publishing industries and craftsmen, to name just a few.
