The Kano State House of Assembly has called on the state government to take action against Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) for cutting off electricity supply to customers without notice.
During a plenary session on Tuesday presided over by the speaker Jibril Isma’il Falgore, Usman Abubakar Tasiu, a member representing Kiru, made the call.
In presenting the motion, Tasi’u lamented how KEDCO has failed to provide transformers or repair faulty ones, despite collecting payments.
He urged the Kano State Government to compel KEDCO to restore electricity supply to affected communities, particularly in Kiru, Bebeji, and Karaye areas.
Contributing to the motion, Aminu Sa’ad, the member representing Ungoggo, noted that the House has repeatedly called on the government to intervene in KEDCO’s operations due to the power outage.
He mentioned that different motions were presented in the eighth and ninth assemblies regarding KEDCO’s operation, as the company has failed to satisfy the people of Kano State.
Sa’ad emphasized that KEDCO should start compensating customers for its failure to serve them well.
He expressed disappointment that the situation has persisted despite previous efforts, which should not be tolerated anymore.
