Ever since bedc took over from nepa,the hike in power supply rate is outrageous.
I followed my dad last week to get a prepaid meter reason is the monthly bill they usually bring for my father's house of 4 bedroom flat without freezer and regular power supply is #30,000 -#50,000 monthly,so we thought getting a prepaid meter will bring solution to it and I followed him to their lafe office in Akure.When we got there,we were told the debt on our bill has accumulated to #405,000 and in lieu of that,they said we should pay #150,000 out of the debt before they give us prepaid meter .
I was annoyed cos the new system is that no matter the debt, there's a way to deduct certain percentage from the card we load on the meter every time we recharge but now they are denying us not to get the meter until we pay that huge amount of #150k
So bedc are really not doing well,hike in unstable power supply is not pleasing at all and their no enjoyment with the epileptic supply.
