Benin DISCO Promises Power Restoration In Delta

The Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, has promised to restore electricity to the Agbarho community, Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State.
Head of the Community Relations of BEDC, Mr. Simple Ugherakpoteri, who gave the assurance at a meeting between the company and leaders of the community, stated that the prolonged power outage in the community was caused by a heavy downpour that destroyed electric poles.
He said BEDC’s men were already working and power will be restored immediately they are through.
Ugherakpoteri also promised to look into the issue of overbilling and estimated bills the community complained about.
Responding on behalf of the community, President General of Agbarho Urhobo Improvement Union, Chief Monday Igho-Odiphri, described the meeting as fruitful.
While expressing hope that power will be restored to the community as soon as possible, he urged BEDC officials to keep to their own part of the agreement, promised to give all necessary assistance, and assured that the BEDC office will not be relocated from the community.
Recall that the community had a week ago taken to the streets to protest against the incessant power outage in the community and outrageous estimated bills being imposed on them by the company.
