The electricity providers are scaming people with their crazy bills without providing tne required service in most cases whenever any faults occured it is the community that will contribute to do the repairs yet they will later bring bills for the period when there was no power supply and at the same time claimed the ownership of the property what a scam!!! For years Akoko areas of Ondo state were in darkness under the pretext that they were owing them not until late TB JOSHUA paid almost 40million naira before the light was restored , now some transformers now have gone bad and unattended to now our TB JOSHUA is gone whom do we lookforward to? Insnt time for the National Assembly wake up from slumber and review this obnoxious privatisation of a thing? For how long do we continue to suffer from this scam
