Note to @aedcelectricity and other concerned Nigerians.

I usually don't do this and find it difficult to know where to start from.

OK let me begin, attached is an AEDC monthly bill of N41,0000 +.
#thread #SayNoToEstimatedBill

When we say Nigeria is not working, they always think it's bcus we don't work in gov't.

As an entrepreneur / tax payer striving to make a living and employing youths to solve Nigeria's economic woes, this is what I get as pay back from my efforts.

Now, see full story.

3 months ago we moved into a new business location, which I recalled we battled AEDC to connect our building with power drop for 6 weeks after the building was disconnected for a decade, and we were hammered with over 600k continued bill.

With this, we had to go for another investment to increase the power of our alternative energy with an expense close to 150k, luckily after a month's battle we discovered it was a wrong account that was issued to us, but it was a short glory bcus we received our own...

estimated bill of 318k. (note: the building has stayed over a decade without an occupant)

So we made a plea to get them to connect us,& we were told to pay a connection fee of abt 7.5k & we did just that and got connectd on the 20th of May, 2019. ( pls see attached receipts)

Now this is the real magic, btw 23rd of May to 10th of June (17 days, 7 working days, 10 days was spent on mid year break ) there is a bill of 32k for just 4 hrs supply of power per day.

This is outrageous if not another rape!

These are my questions:

Who will stand for ordinary Nigerians?
Is this the way we want to improve businesses in Nigeria?
Where does the problem lies?
If we pay up the estimated bills, wd they guarantee us stable power supply?
How many businesses hv bn crushed wt this wahala?

Add your own?

#wevoted4change not business shutdown.

Actually we wrote to @aedcelectricity but we have had no response from them rather they keep telling us 'come back tomorrow'.

See picture...
