The management of Kano Electricity Distribution Company has expressed serious concern over the poor electricity supply being received by the company from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), especially during this Ramadan period.
The managing director of the company, Malam Abubakar Yusuf made the complaint while addressing a news conference at the headquarters of the company, yesterday.
He lamented that the company has for the last three months been receiving 180 megawatts for distribution to its customers in Kano, Katsina and Jigawa states which he said is grossly inadequate.
“We felt it necessary to address you on the shortage of power supply being experienced in the states so that you can enlighten our customers about the current challenges.
“This is necessary because we are the last in the value chain because we can only distribute what we have. No businessman will deliberately deny his customers goods,” he said.
According to him, the company requires 600 megawatts for adequate and effective supply to its customers in the three states.
