Umueledi, Abia Protests With Coffin Over Outrageous EEDC Billing (Pics, Video) by Metrix147: 12:19pm On Mar 16, 2021 |
The people of Umueledi autonomous community in old Umuahia, Umuahia South LGA, Abia State have protested against what they call crazy billing by officials of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) by tying palm fronds to a coffin, ABN TV reports. Members of the community who besieged the Umuahia zonal office of the company also dumped the coffin at the gate of the electricity distribution company, preventing staff from gaining entrance into the premises. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZRTciOtJoc Speaking with ABN TV on Tuesday, one of the protesters who gave his name as Onyemaechi Stanley said they can no longer cope with the outrageous billing where each household receives a bill of about N35,000 without commensurate supply. While maintaining that the minimum wage is less than the bill they are being served, they wondered the yardstick with which EEDC arrived at the amount served them monthly. According to Mr. Stanley, the community had made a payment amounting to N700,000 which he said the EEDC officers are not considering. The community vowed that they are not ready to remove the coffin until EEDC yields to their demand of reducing the bills or providing them with meters to ascertain their consumption.

![]() This is commendable! Nigerian is a crazy place to be acting normal, what does it take to meter the people? We bought meter you said the calibration is not right, We paid you, you refuse to supply. What is the definition of crazy again? With just a single 150watt panel, you can have enough power to attend to your basic daily power needs. I sell portable inverter and battery for laptop, Tv fan and phones. You have to consider alternative source of power, We have failed to push our weight as a consumer in Nigeria and these people are all taking us for a ride! |

OP, please get your facts right. Umueledi isn't an Autonmous community. It is one of the seven villages (Umuezeala, Umuobutu, Umuecheogwù, Umueledi, Umuovo, Amuzuta and Okwù) that make up Old Umuahia Autonomous Community. As for the protest, I only hope the EEDC does the needful in this case. |
