This is also to meet the needs of Nigeria for safe, adequate, reliable and affordable electricity under the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC, network.

In a statement made available to Vanguard, EEDC, Emeka Ezeh, disclosed that the offices will be located in Awka, Anambra State, and Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

The statement read in part:“These commissioning brings the total number of Forum Offices within the EEDC coverage area to three, namely: Enugu, Abakaliki, and Awka; with a Zonal Office in Owerri.

“The setting up of the offices by NERC is to ensure electricity disputes are resolved and that customers have a say in what affects them as customers of electricity providers.

“The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, will be commissioning the Awka Office on  Thursday, April 14, 2016 while the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, will be commissioning the Abakaliki Office on Thursday, April 28, 2016.”
