Residents of Aiyetoro Community, Zango-Kulende Quarters of Ilorin, Kwara State capital, have cried out for help after suffering three years of blackout
The highly-populated community was plunged into total darkness on October 20, 2020 after the electricity transformer secured from the then-government in 2009, broke down.Findings by DAILY POST indicated that efforts to repair the faulty transformer in 2015 cost residents of the community about N1 million with input from the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company, IBEDC, Baboko District, in Ilorin.
The community then wrote the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, in September 2022, through IBEDC, which resulted in a meeting with officials of the regulatory body from the Abuja headquarters and Aiyetoro Community leaders, though the meeting did not yield fruitful results. Efforts by our correspondent to reach officials of the state Ministry of Energy and IBEDC, Baboko District in Ilorin on Friday proved abortive.
They said it has also raised security concerns among residents as the community has been plunged into perpetual darkness for the past three years.
