List of indebted organizations
The Abuja Electricity Distribution PLC (AEDC) has threatened to disconnect the electricity supply to the Presidential Villa, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and 83 other government agencies in Abuja, over N47.1 billion electricity debt.
In a disconnection notice on Monday, the distribution company urged the 86 MDAs to settle their outstanding debts within 10 days to avoid the possibility of experiencing a blackout beginning on February 28, 2024.
“The Abuja Electricity Distribution PLC is constrained to do this publication with the details of Government, Ministries, Departments and Agencies with long outstanding unpaid bills for services rendered to them through the provision of electricity supply in that our previous attempts to make them honour their obligations have not achieved the desired results.
“The relevant MDAs are hereby given notice that the AEDC shall after the expiration of 10 days from the date of this publication, that is, after Wednesday, 28th February, 2024, embark on the disconnection of our services to them until they discharge their obligations to us by paying their debts.”
