The Managing Director of Mainpower Electricity Distribution Limited, MEDL, Dr Ernest Mupwaya, has explained that 24-hour power supply is possible in Enugu State.
Mupwaya disclosed this when he hosted the traditional ruler of Ikenga Umulumgbe Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Christian Obinna Ozor, who paid him a courtesy call on Wednesday.
This comes as Mupwaya made a case for electricity customers and stakeholders relationships to boost power supply.
He said: “We emphasise the need for collaboration with customers and critical stakeholders to achieve operational excellence.
“Enugu State will witness a transformation in power supply. We equally appeal for continued collaboration with your community in ensuring that electricity assets within their environment are adequately protected against vandals.
“I want to reiterate the company’s commitment to delivering reliable power and improved service delivery across Enugu State.”
On his part, Igwe Ozor expressed the willingness of his community to provide an office space for MEDL to enable his kinsmen to easily access the office and conveniently pay their electricity bills, as well as carry out any transaction they may have with the company without necessarily having to travel long distances.
