The Imo State House of Assembly has taken a decisive step in addressing the ongoing power outages plaguing the state by summoning the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC).
Majority Leader, Hon Kanayo Onyemaechi, spearheaded the motion to invite EEDC to clarify the reasons behind the frequent blackouts across the State.
“We demand accountability from EEDC regarding the inadequate electricity supply despite the exorbitant bills Imo residents are burdened with,” stated Hon Onyemaechi, in his presentation on tye floor of the House.
The Speaker of the House, Chris Olemgbe, on behalf of the Assembly unanimously approved the motion, signaling the lawmakers commitment to address the pressing issue.
While a specific date for EEDC’s appearance before the House remains pending, the Assembly’s action underscores a proactive approach to ensure improved power services for Imo residents.
INNONEWS reports that in the past two months, there has been epileptic power supply across the State.
