In the Moniya community in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State, landlords and residents have expressed dismay at the epileptic power supply as well as the rising cost of electricity. The community's residents claimed that the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company's electricity bills did not accurately reflect the community's actual power consumption, citing four days of blackouts. On Wednesday, a resident named Usman Busari told our correspondent that members of the community had tried unsuccessfully to convince the power distribution company to improve the community's power supply. He stated, "IBEDC gives us no power at all." Power supply is typically available in the nearby communities of Akingbile, Idi Ishin, Idi Ifa, and Shasha. They get between eight and ten hours a day. However, whenever we voice our displeasure, they (IBEDC) inform us that the Transmission Company of Nigeria has provided them with inadequate funding for the Moniya community. But their billing isn't bad! Each month, they would bring N3,000 in bills for a household. They said they would change, but the change was that they brought light twice a week. Despite the fact that they attribute the problem to flaws in the control room, they would still bring outrageous bills. “I asked the IBEDC official why they kept bringing bills to my house when there was no power when they brought a bill for N2,000 last month. This month, when there was no power, they added N5,000 to my bill, making it even worse. Omolola Pedro, a second resident, stated that the community's businesses had been negatively impacted by the absence of power. The Moniya community's power supply has been terrible. When we tell customers that drinks are not cold, they leave, according to my mother, who sells them. Because it was so bad, we didn't have light for three months at some point, Pedro said. to build a generator that doesn't use fuel - Nigerian graduate Otedola tells the new government to fix power problems Three people are thought to have been killed in Benue over power supply issues Our correspondent found that the landlord was charged N6,033 on an electricity bill for one of the houses in the community for June 2023. Rafiu Bello, the area's chairman of the Ifesowapo Landlord Association, stated that despite constant complaints and petitions to the relevant authorities, nothing was done. At the end of the month, they send high bills. It has been occurring periodically. This month, they paid about N4,600 for electricity, up from about N2,000 last month. They'd say they have a target when we complain, but should the community bear the burden? Bello stated: When asked about the situation in the community, the local IBEDC Technical Engineer, who will be referred to as Akintayo, responded, "We will supply the power very soon." The state Head of the Media Unit at the IBEDC, Busola Tunwase, could not be reached because her mobile number was disconnected. At the time this report was filed, she had not responded to a text message sent to her number. However, a power distribution company source claimed that the community's transformers, as well as those of Akanran, Monatan, and Ojoo, which are adjacent, were weak. “
