FCT residents under Bands B to E have expressed dissatisfaction with the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company’s (AEDC) power supply, alleging discriminatory treatment. The residents have lamented erratic power supply to their homes and business premises, describing the situation as deeply unfair and detrimental to their livelihoods.
The residents are demanding equal treatment for all electricity bands, with a unified rate system and fair pricing mechanism based on consumption rather than classification. They have also urged the government to ensure infrastructure upgrades for consistent supply across all bands. The current structure has led to growing dissatisfaction among non-Band A consumers, who pay lower tariffs but receive poorer service.
The residents’ concerns highlight the need for a more equitable and reliable electricity distribution system in the FCT. The AEDC and government must address these issues to ensure that all residents receive fair and consistent power supply.
