Electricity Tarriff Hike: AEDC Wants To Send Me Back To The Village - Man Cries Out After 10k Recharge Gave Him 41 Units

Posted by Thandiubani on Thu 04th Apr, 2024 - tori.ng

Recall that the government recently increased electricity tariff which will bring more suffering on the poor masses.

A Nigerian man has cried out after recharging N10k, only to be given 41 units by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc, AEDC.

Recall that the government recently increased electricity tariff which will bring more suffering on the poor masses.

The young man took to a popular forum and wrote:

"I'm very sad this morning. I bought 10k worth of electricity units, and got only 41 units. I bought 5k worth last week Friday, and got 68units!!! I told a friend, and she decided to do 1k. Well... She got 4.1😭😭😭. We didn't even know we are on the BAND A! We barely get 12-15 hours of power daily. Some days, we don't even get 10 Hours! Ahhhh!!! AEDC, I don't want to be in Band A anymore 😭😭😭, take me to Band F! BAND Y seems like a good idea right now.

5k worth finishes with in a week or so in my house. I'm just an average random fellow on the street, trying to make ends meet.

I have to admit, being a good citizen doesn't pay anymore ooo... Ahhh... AEDC... 41 units for 10k? Are you trying to send me back to the village? Do you know how many jobs I have to do to raise that 10k? Is there something we should do that we are not doing? Tell us ooo, AEDC tell us what to do; because I'm not ready to start paying an upward of 70k for power in a month. I'm sorry, but you know what I'm planning right? No vex"
