 Following the protracted blackout in the country, a federal lawmaker Hon. Ben Ibakwa is calling for urgent intervention by the BEDC. Hon. Ibakwa further blamed the Benin electricity distribution company for abdicating its responsibility, adding that its compelling individuals and communities to bear the cost of fixing damaged cables, poles and other accessories when they are damaged. The House ruled that for the past seven years, major parts of the 80-point cycle government area of Delta City, particularly in Mosulga, and Aegean communities have been in total blackout, as is the result of total failure by the Benin electricity distribution company to destroy their duties in distribution of electricity to the affected areas. Aware that BEDC promptly collected bills from customers, or whenever there are technical issues or faults requiring the attention to fix the assets such as transformers, cable poles, EDC under their management and all control, the company abandons or abdicate such responsibility by compelling the customers to fix such faults or provide money to purchase it. Further aware that efforts by recurring transformers stepped down from the BEDC since 2015, they no yielded fruit. In 2016, the BEDC, in one of their memos to the community, as a condition to bring a step down transformer that could service the increased demand of electricity in the community due to expansion, requested the community to pay all our standard debt which amounted over 12 million naira. However, despite the problem thereof, the BEDC brought a standard transformer, a substandard transformer with low capacity to the community and barely after two days of installation, the transformer gone off. Similarly, in 2018, the State Government brought another step down transformer and this was reluctantly and improperly installed by the BEDC and immediately got damaged. Conscious that the community approach the Delta State Government again, sometime in 2020, and two units of 2.5 KVA transformer were provided for Mosuga and were divided into substations. As a result of the time the project was completed, the BEDC refused to energize the step down but demanded for the connection fees of 10 million naira. This bonus was paid by the community but shortly after the BEDC installed the transformer, it crashed again.
