Don’t Pay To Repair Faulty Transformers, DisCo Tell Nigerians.

The Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JED) has advised its customers in Gombe State not to pay anyone to repair faulty electricity transformers in their communities.

The Chief Security Officer, JED, Mr Musa Abdullahi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Gombe that it was not the responsibility of customers to repair faulty transformers.

Abdullahi said that residents were expected to report to the nearest JED office whenever a transformer was faulty and should not pay any of its officials to repair the transformer.

He said that instances where some members of communities were asked to contribute money to repair or replace faulty transformers was wrong, fraudulent and unacceptable.

The official advised communities in the state to report any of its staff making such illegal demands for necessary punitive action.

“We don’t collect money from communities to fix transformers so no one is expected to pay.

“For any staff to go to communities collecting N5000, N3000 or any amount per households or street is fraudulent and we frown at such.

“If you have a challenge and cannot wait for your transformers to be fixed, you write to the Managing Director through the Regional Manager that you want to support the company willingly.

“Whoever asks you for money, escalate the issue to the regional manager and we will make example of them,” he said.

Abdullahi also appealed to communities in Gombe to support the company’s efforts to protect power installations in the state.

The official further implored residents not to assault JED officials on duty, adding that it was a criminal offence to do such.(NAN)

But it has always been these electricity officials telling communities with faulty transformers to contribute money to get it fixed if they ever hope to see light again.

We all knew that fixing faulty transformer is the priority of the NEPA or PHCN but Nigeria is not a working state so whatever we the citizens sees we take it like that common Bénin Republic when they have issues concerning transformer or poll within 6 hours that problem must be fixed it has not to do with the consumer they are merely customers but in Nigeria na story for the gods

Government is no longer in charge of power It’s private people.

Who is in charge of the protection of the citizens’ right?

For that my side, na we paid for Electric wire cables, polls, pay nepa officials wey do the job and after everything Nepa come to collect montly bills from us in the community despite contributing millions to get light

This is a well-known fact, but if you don't pay and you want to follow protocol, you will not have your transformer fixed
