Artisans Decry Poor Power Supply

Worried by the poor
power supply which has adversely affected their businesses, some artisans have cried out over the development.
A refrigerator repairer who operates his business at Accra Street in   the Port Harcourt township, Mr Kitoye Dede, who spoke to our correspondent yesterday said “this is the season that my business flourishes” but unfortunately, power was not forth coming.
He said many people bring jobs for him to do but the issue of power  outage has worked against him.
According to him, he has problems meeting his domestic obligations as the development has been worrisome inspite of the fact that they always pay their electric bills.
For Moses Chukwu, an auto-electrician, generating power for his business has been a problem from late last year till date.
He said he could no longer buy fuel for his generator as business has fallen.
He said most times he collects jobs and give to others who have the capacity to generate power even as he said such arrangements leaves him with little or nothing to go home with.
For John Dibia, a male hair-dresser, the story was the same as most customers according to him have stopped patronising him.
He said he could not even service his generator for the past two months due to the development.
However, efforts to speak with the manager at the Aggrey road Port Harcourt Power Distribution Company was not successful as at the time of going to press.
