Nigerian singer Spyro has expressed frustration over the country’s electricity situation after visiting an Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC) office to complain about poor power supply despite paying Band A tariffs.
In a post shared on his Instagram story, the singer disclosed that he visited the office out of frustration to find out why he continued paying for Band A electricity without receiving power.
However, he claimed he was moved by what he witnessed, revealing that the workers at the office were also without electricity and had resorted to fanning themselves.
Spyro further recounted his conversation with a female staff member who attended to him, saying she complained about being mocked by her neighbours for working at the electricity distribution company despite not having power in her home.
Reacting to the experience, Spyro criticised Nigerians who believe everything is working well in the country, describing their position as frustrating.
“I went to EKDC office out of frustration to find out why I pay for Band A and yet zero electricity, and on getting there, I got moved by compassion as the workers were literally fanning themselves, no electricity.
The lady that attended to me said, ‘My neighbours shame me for working here, yet I have no light.’” And yet some FOOLS still seem to think everything is okay in this country,” he wrote.
His account has drawn attention to complaints about electricity supply, particularly from consumers who pay higher tariffs under the Band A classification.
