Niger State Governor Abubaka Sani Bello Orders Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) to ensure a minimum of 18 hours power supply daily.
Emphasizing on the need to alleviate the sufferings of the people during the Stay at home directives because of COVID 19, the Governor gave the directives to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) to ensure a minimum of 18 hours power supply daily.
According to Governor Sani Bello “we need to reduce the hardship, 3 hours daily is unacceptable. I have told the Deputy Governor (Ahmad Ketso) to reach out to the AEDC and he said they are still in discussion to see that we have 18 hours of power supply on daily basis.
Furthermore, he said that other measures like water supply will be taken care of by the state Water Boar, adding that, the State Transport Company NSTA should make buses available to move patients since the state does not have enough ambulances.
“I have given approval to the Commissioner for Environment and the General Manager, Niger state Environmental Protection Agency (NISEPA) to buy disinfectants to spray public places like markets, schools, religious places and government facilities.
