The Eko Electricity Distribution Company Plc (EKEDC) has clarified that the aggregate outstanding debt owed by consumers is N144 billion, out of which, Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) including the Military is owing N42 billion.
This is contrary to earlier reports that the MDAs, including the army, police, and other qgovernment agencies, were owing N144 billion and had refused to pay.
A statement by Amina Tukur Othman BPE’s Head Public Communications on Friday said the clarification became necessary for proper reportage on the matter and to put the records straight.
It would be recalled that during a recent oversight visit by members of the House of Representatives Committee on Privatisation and Commercialisation, led by its Chairman, Hon. Hamisu Chidari Ibrahim, the Acting Managing Director of the EKEDC, Mrs. Rekhiat Momoh had informed the members amongst other constraints, about the legacy debts owed the company by MDAs.
