UNN in stark darkness as EEDC cuts power supply

Enugu Electricity Distribution Company has disconnected the power supply to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka over a reported N172m electricity debt.

NaijaOnPoint.com.ng (NOP) learnt that the disconnection by EEDC took effect shortly after a new committee of the university management came on board on 19th of August, 2024.

Some students of the varsity have lamented the lack of power supply since resumption.

Students who spoke to Journalists on the condition of anonymity, said, “We resumed on the 16th of September. Before going on vacation, we used to have a regular power supply. This time around, it is a total power outage.

“We want this matter to be resolved as soon as possible because when students are fully back, there may be protest.”

Another student told the Whistler that, “This disconnection is affecting us terribly bad. We can’t read under this condition. Let the management settle this electricity matter. We are no longer enjoying our stay on campus.”

According to reports, the new management paid the distribution company the sum of N72m part payment of the debt, but EEDC refused.
