Monarch Tasks PHED On Power Supply

The Port Harcourt Elec
tricity Distribution Company (PHEDE), has been  advised to  ensure steady power supply   to the people to complement the  state government’s  target of  achieving its vision of new  Rivers State.
In an interview with newsmen Wednesday in Port Harcourt, the paramount Ruler Nye Nwe Eli Rumuogba in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, HRH (EZE) Temple N. Ejekwu, said PHED must provide  steady electricity supply to  the people of the state.
He said steady electricity supply all over the world brought  development and ensure that the economy improved due to 24 hours power supply across.
Dr Ejekwu, who is also the Eze Ogba Iji-nu-ede, noted that erratic power  supply would not in any form  encourage development, therefore there is the need to improve supply.
According to him, adequate power provision would enable  those in the hospability sector  to operate with greater efficiency and profits.

He said  that steady power supply would enable business to spring up within the  various quarters of the state thereby, encouraging  an all round improved economy.
The monarch, who also is a legal icon, noted that 24 hours power supply was a huge target for investors, who are  only ready to invest  where they will make profits.
He further explained that erratic power supply was one  of the reasons why the rate of unemployment keeps rising  in the country, saying that the Federal Government  step up actions in that direction.
He said  that the  present administration  has the people’s interest at heart, through its various  people- oriented policies. He also lamented the  harah economic situation of the country, stressing that palliatives measures  must be put in place, in order to assuage the plight of the people.
