Power Supply: PH Residents Laud Buhari, Wike
Whatever collaborative
efforts by the Federal, and State governments as well as other relevant agencies that resulted in improved electricity supply in Rivers State, has been lauded by the people and residents of Port Harcourt..
The residents who were requested to comment on the state of electricity supply as the new government led by President Muhammadu Buhari, and Governor Nyesom Wike mark their first 100 days in office, said the duo deserve commendations.
Chief Clifford Nwamaka said there has been a remarkable improvement in power supply across the nation since this new regime.
“I commend President Buhari and Governor Wike for this feat and also wish they sustain the level of power supply at all cost. I also commend Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED)”, he said.
Nwamaka said, “not as if the present supply level is the best, but it is a shift away from what we were having before this new government”.
Another respondent, Justus Tonye, said, “it is a credit that no person can take away from Governor Wike and President Buhari, that we are now having better electricity supply.
“If you compare the level of electricity supply today with what we have been having in the past administrations, you surely have to give kudos to the amiable governor of Rivers State and President Buhari”, Tonye stated.
She, however, urged the due to sustain the level of supply and noted that it would bring back the investors that left the shores of Nigeria and also boost socio-economic activities in the country.
Another respondent, Chief Johnson Edum lauded the new administration for its efforts which reflected in increased power supply in the state but remarked that it was not uhuru yet.
“The electricity billing system under estimated system is wrong, unfair and a clear fraud on Nigerians. We would like the government to check the crazy bills coming to consumers through the Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) “, he said.
