MAN raises alarm over KEDCO’s disconnection threat

The Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) Kano Branch has revealed that the letter written by Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) to industrial companies threatening to disconnect them from 3rd May, 2024, poses a huge threat to the nation’s economy as well as an unfortunate move that will render thousands jobless.

This was contained in a statement obtained by Daily Trust which was jointly signed by Chairman, Bompai/Jigawa, Alhaji Mohammed Bello I Umar, and Chairman, Shaafa/Chalawa, Alhaji Nura S Madugu.

According to the statement, KEDCO had written to MAN to withdraw their earlier letter sent to KEDCO rejecting the recent electricity tariff hike or disconnect them from Friday, 3rd May, 2024.
