ILORIN—Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, Baboko Business Unit, in Ilorin, Kwara State, is being owed about N1.7 billion by electricity consumers in the area. The district comprises Sawmill, Adeta, Poly and Sobi.

Acting Business Manager of the District, Mr. Bashir Oso, made this known at the Customers’ Consultative Council meeting in Ilorin. He, however, urged the debtors to pay up to enable PHCN discharge its services to them.

Oso said it was unfair for customers to refuse to pay their bills and still expect good services from PHCN, adding that there was no hiding place for defaulters as a result of the newly-introduced data machine.
