EEDC’s abysmal failure: Imo Assembly member for Onuimo, Esile cries out – – – says Onuimo communities lack electricity

Amidst hydra-headed effects of excruciating hot weather on the populace, the member for Onuimo  statecinstituency in the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon James Esile ( Fresh Air) has cried out against what he called undue neglect of communities under his constituency by the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company ( EEDC) over a long time

Speaking on a motion before the floor of the house on ways to ameliorate the effect of the prevailing heat wave across the state, Hon Esile lamented that most communities in thickly populated Onuimo local government area had for long, been without electricity, a situation that worsened the hellish hot weather, as according to him, indigenes of the area could neirher sleep with fans nor referigerate food items and other consumables.

He further, observed that the excessive heat, with its attendant high temperature resulted to measles, body rashes, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

Esile disclosed that life in  Onuimo communities has been horrible and unpleasant, as every where is covered with darkness at night.

The lawmaker challenged EEDC, the electricity distribution company to explain why Onuimo people should be thrown into undeserved darkness and untold  hardship.

He further, urged the state government to act as a matter of urgency to remedy the sitution of abysmal failure in power supply to Onuimo constituents.

Meanwhile, the state House of Assembly has resolved to summon the management of EEDC, to explain the circumstances surrounding the epileptic power supply in the entire state.
