Residents of Paikoro and Lapai Local Government Areas in Niger State have appealed to the state government and the Abuja Electric Distribution Company
to intervene and resolve the prolonged power blackout that has plunged their communities into darkness for the past six months.
Reports indicate that 33 transformers in Lapai were destroyed, and the feeder pillars supplying both local government areas stationed in Paiko were stolen by suspected criminals. A community leader, Alhaji Mohammed Yaro Paiko, appealed to the state government and the power company to urgently intervene and assist the affected communities.
