Kaduna electricity consumers staged a peaceful protest at the headquarters of the Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) in the state, to express their dissatisfaction over lack of stable electricity.
The protest was organized by a group, Coalition of Electricity Consumers, which included residents from Sabon Gari’s new extension and other communities, as well as consumer associations like the Welders Association Students Union, National Youth Council, and Printers Association.
According to the protesters, business activities have been severely affected due to the lack of reliable power supply, leading to the collapse of several businesses in the area.
