Kaduna Power Holding Company has disconnected electricity supply to Zamfara State Government House in Gusau over unpaid accumulated bill of N400 Million.
Speaking to journalists today, Wednesday, the Business Development and Relationship Officer of the company in Gusau Area Office, Aminu Yakubu, said that the disconnection affected some other state government’s offices, including the Yariman Bakura Specialist Hospital.
Aminu said that the state government, which had a monthly electricity bill of between N15 million and N20 million, is now owing the company about N400 million, saying: “since there was no indication that the state government would pay, my head office directed that we cut the supply until the debt is settled, ” the officer said.
Aminu said that the state House of Assembly had already invited him to explain the reason company cut power supply to the state government.
“I explained the debt profile and the legislators promised to talk to the executive so that the money being owed would be settled.”
