Nigeria President Bola Tinubu has directed immediate settlement of outstanding electricity bill due to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
The President’s directive, according to a release issued on Tuesday by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, followed the reconciliation of accounts between the State House Management and AEDC.
Contrary to the AEDC’s initial claim of N923million debt in paid advertorial in newspapers, the State House outstanding bill is N342, 352, 217.46, according to a letter by the AEDC management to the State House Permanent Secretary dated February 14, 2024.
Having reconciled the position to the satisfaction of both parties, the Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has given assurance that the debt will be paid to AEDC before the end of this week.
Following the example of the Presidency, Chief of Staff also urged other Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to reconcile their accounts with AEDC and pay their electricity bills.
