Ebonyi State Government has directed the Enugu
Electricity Distribution Company(EEDC), whose
properties were destroyed by some aggrieved
youths who demonstrated over the long and indigent
power outage in Afikpo, not to restore light to the
area until the people replace all government and
EEDC properties damaged by the youths.

The directive was given by the state Commissioner
for Power, Emmanuel Uguru, while having a meeting
with the officials of the Enugu Electricity Distribution
Company(EEDC), who visited his office in Abakaliki,
the state capital.

The Commissioner frowned at the height of
damages recorded as a result of that particular
youths' demonstration on Monday and therefore
blamed the youths of Afikpo North for taking laws
into their hands, noting that the state government
would not condone lawlessness and destruction of
private or government properties in the state.
Mr. Uguru used the avenue to thank the
management of the EEDC for improving the supply
of electricity to some parts of the state and also
requested that the company should hasten the
provision of Pre-paid Meters to the state, inorder to
check estimated billing of their customers.

The Commissioner also urged Ebonyians to conduct
themselves well by channeling their problems to the
appropriate quarters whenever they feel offended.
It is of note that the people of Afikpo area have
experienced complete power outage and blackout for
barely a year now, leading their youths to
demonstrate on Monday.
