I write to bring to the attention of government the very sorry state of power supply in the GRA in Benin City, Edo State. In the past six months GRA residents have been having power so erratic that we are almost always left in the dark.
Sir: I write to bring to the attention of government the very sorry state of power supply in the GRA in Benin City, Edo State. In the past six months GRA residents have been having power so erratic that we are almost always left in the dark.
The best we ever have is one hour and is usually in the middle of the night. Please give us power. We pay our taxes.
