AUTHORITIES of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) Plc in Osogbo, Osun State, at the weekednd, lamented the indifference of the people in the state to the payment of electricity bills, just as residents and corporate bodies, including the state government, are owing over N1.4 billion, the Nigerian Tribune exclusively gathered.
Findings indicated that despite complaints by some states over seeming drop in the energy supply from PHCN to their residents, Osun, had been enjoying sizable improvement in the power distribution from energy plants.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with our correspondent, Business Manager, Osogbo Business Unit of PHCN, Mr Banji Fagbote, described the attitude of the state to the payment of electricity bills despite its services as very worrisome, stressing that there was need for the residents and institutions to embrace the culture of paying electricity bills.
He explained that there were five districts of the PHCN in Osun State, including Osogbo, Ikirun, Ede, Ife and Ilesa, pointing out that “Osogbo metropolis enjoys electricity supply more than any other part of the country, but they did not respond to payment of energy bills in the same way.”
