The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged the five South-East governors to revoke their contracts with the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) in view of poor service to the region.
In a statement, IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful said EEDC had failed to provide reliable, adequate, and affordable electricity, thereby hindering economic growth in the South East.
According to Powerful, EEDC's ineffectiveness has resulted in the exploitation of South-East residents, who are being charged exorbitant tariffs for poor services.
"The governors should take immediate action and cancel their contracts with EEDC to pave the way for alternative solutions that can meet the region's energy needs,.
"The region's residents will continue to feel the impact of EEDC's services, and the need for a lasting solution will only continue to grow.
"The situation is a complex one, with many factors at play, but ultimately, it is up to the relevant authorities to find a solution that works for the people of the South-East region," the IPOB media chief
said.
EEDC has faced criticism in the past over its services, with many residents expressing frustration over frequent power outages and high electricity bills.
The company has defended its record, citing challenges in the power sector and efforts to improve its services.
