In a compliant letter dated 18th November 2014 and addressed to the

Eko Electricity Distribution Company<\/p>\n
24\/25 Marina, Lagos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dear Engr. Obame,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ERRATIC SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY TO APAPA BUSINESS UNIT<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are customers at Maritime Complex 34 Creek Road, Apapa with Account No.
\n03\/51\/94\/0371-01. We also represent over 2000 households and businesses in
\nApapa Business Unit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Over the years we have had challenges with electricity supply to Apapa. We
\nhad hoped that with privatization and your takeover of electricity
\ndistribution, Apapa electricity supply will significantly improve. Sadly,
\nthis has not been the case. Electricity supply to Apapa has actually
\nworsened.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inspite of paying our bills promptly as and when due, we have not received
\ncommensurate electricity supply. Our annual electricity bill is about N
\n3.5 MILLION. When multiplied by over 2000 households and businesses it
\ncomes to over N7 BILLION annually.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we include the cost of diesel and generator repairs for the long
\nperiods we receive no supply our electricity cost becomes even more
\noutrageous. In 2014, we spent over N50 MILLION on diesel and generator
\nrepairs. When again multiplied by 2000 it is over a N100 BILLION annually.
\nThis is not acceptable. We will not continue to pay for services not
\ndelivered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TAKE NOTICE therefore that if after 15 working days we observe no
\nsignificant improvement in electricity supply to Apapa. We shall initiate
\nlegal action for an injunction restraining your Company from further
\nbilling Apapa residents.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
