Today Friday 22nd April 2022, makes it exactly five days entire Mbaukwu community was without power supply as a result of wind storm that blew on Sunday 17th April, destroying Electric Poles, power cables and other properties.
According to an eye witness during the ugly incident, no life was lost and no one was reported to have sustained any injury, except that economic life of those who depended on Power supply to thrive has been placed on standstill.
As a result, the people of Mbaukwu is urging Enugu Electricity Distribution Company, EEDC Rapid Response Unit to run to their rescue.
A shop owner, Mrs Ifeoma Okoye who does her bussines in their area who spoke to our Correspondent Udoka Nwokoye, said that she has lost so much of her perishable goods which preserves in the freezer because there is no power supply.
She explained that she has lost almost a carton of Frozen Fish because she felt that power in their area will be restored as soon as possible.
She added that since the prizes of fuel and diesel skyrocketed from original ₦165 to ₦220, and ₦230 to ₦650 per liter respectively, it has become difficult for small businesses to depend on disel or fuel as alternative source of energy.
She however appealed to Ndi EEDC to have a rethink on the effect of no power supply on welders and Soy milk producers who depend largely on EEDC power supply to produce, adding that this has overall implications on the cost of production on the negative side.
