Esile Knocks EEDC For Keeping His Constituency In Darkness.

 

 

Honourable James Esile,  member representing Onuimo  State Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly has knocked the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company ( EEDC)  for neglecting  almost all the communities under his constituency for sometime now. 

Speaking at the weekend at the floor of the house where he raised the motion, Esile maintained that most of the communities in Onuimo local government have been without electricity including Okwe where the local government headquarters is domiciled.

He said that the resultant effect is that  no business can ever thrive in those areas maintaining that the locals in the communities  can neither sleep with fans nor refrigerate food items and other consumables.

Esile   who is also the founder of fresh air movement observed that the excessive heat with its attendant high temperature resulted to measles, body rashes, sleepnessless and high blood pressure in the communities adding that the people were  sick.

The lawmaker challenged EEDC, the electricity distribution company to explain why Onuimo people should be thrown into undeserved darkness and untold  hardship because of lack of electricity.

He narrated "Most communities in thickly populated Onuimo local government area had for long been without electricity a situation that worsened the hellish hot weather then.

"Life in  Onuimo communities has been horrible and unpleasant as every where is covered with darkness at night.

" Therefore urge  the state government to act as a matter of urgency to remedy the sitution of abysmal failure in power supply to Onuimo constituents.

" I also challenge EEDC, the electricity distribution company to explain why Onuimo people should be thrown into undeserved darkness and untold  hardship because of lack of electricity. 

Meanwhile, the state house of assembly has resolved to summon the management of EEDC, to explain the circumstances surrounding the epileptic power supply in the entire state.
