AEDC threatens to disconnect villa, DSS, military barracks, others over N47.1bn debt

The management of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) has given a 10 days’ notice to 86 government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to pay up the N47.1bn electricity debt they owe or risk disconnection.

An advertorial by the company yesterday said the notice was issued after the MDAs failed to pay up their outstanding balance for December.

“The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) PLC is constrained to do this publication with the details of Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies with long outstanding unpaid bills for services rendered to them through the provision of electricity supply in that our previous attempts to make them honour their obligations have not achieved the desired result.”
