Winifred Oyo-Ita<br />

The Guardian had recently reported that a choking debt of about N49,305,181,196.66 owed the 11 electricity distribution companies (Discos) in the country was impeding their efficient operations.

According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), the debt was owed by federal and state governments’ departments and agencies, including the military and police.

Oyo-Ita made the pledge at the weekend when she received in her office the management team of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) led by the Managing Director/CEO, Neil Croucher, according to a release issued in Abuja yesterday.
