The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has blamed poor power supply to its franchise states on the bad infrastructures it inherited when it took over operations.
Speaking at a town hall meeting yesterday in Abuja, its head of operations and lines, Elisha Yakubu, an engineer, said when the company came on board, it had to contend with bad transformers and load shedding in the franchise states, thus, the difficulty to give customers optimum service delivery.
Yakubu, while saying the low power supply experienced in the first half of the year was a national issue, added that the situation had improved as government is now giving it more power load to distribute to customers.
On her part, the head of business distribution, Joan Ugwunna, said it had launched a meter-on-wheels initiative to allow customers purchase meters instantly without waiting for months.
