We disconnected Zamfara Govt House over N400m debt - Kaduna Electric
Kaduna
Electric disconnected the Zamfara State Government House and other
government offices in Gusau due to the over N400 million debt the state
government is owing the company.
The
company's Business Development and Relationship Officer in Gusau Area
Office, Mr. Aminu Yakubu, said the action followed the failure of the
state government to settle its bills.
Yakubu
said the state government, which had a monthly electricity bill of
between N15 million and N20 million, was now owing the company about
N400 million.
"Since
there was no indication that the state government would pay, my head
office directed that we cut the supply until the debt is settled, " the
officer said.
Yakubu,
however, said that the state House of Assembly had invited him to
explain the reason the company cut power supply to the state government.
"I
explained the debt profile and the legislators promised to talk to the
executive so that the money being owed would be settled," he said.
Yakubu
said his office was now waiting to hear from the lawmakers and if
nothing positive was done, he would wait for further directive from his
headquarters.
