From Abdullahi Idris, Bauchi
Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Bauchi State Council has condemned the ugly attitude of officials of Jos Electricity Distribution Company, JED, in Bauchi State.
The union, in a statement yesterday, expressed displeasure over the activities of JED officials who embarked on unnecessary disconnection, particularly to customers with prepaid meter, simply to force them back to estimated billing.
The union faulted the activities of some JED officials who deliberately frustrate and embrass their customers, even those operating with prepaid meters, simply to force them adopt estimated bills for their personal benefit.
The NUJ advised the state government, ministries and agencies to look for alternative power supply, so that they would make a lot of savings from the outrageous estimated bills being issued to them on a monthly basis.
It called on JED management to always engage trained personnel that have good human relations with customers to enable them provide effective services.
