to explain details of the Memorandum of Understanding , on 24-hour power supply in Anambra State.
Mr Obieri stated that the chamber was concerned that there was no detailed information regarding the MoU and its broad implications for the business community in Onitsha and the entire state. “Beyond payment of bills by users, are there other cost implications? If any, will the cost be borne by the state or wholly transferred to the public or subsidised?
“The obvious question then is, how feasible is the provision of 24/7 electricity when the allocation to EEDC is quite minute to satisfy the whole of South-east? “They cannot control or guarantee a 24/7 power supply. These are many questions begging for answers here,” he said.The Chamber’s president said a steady electricity supply in Anambra was the single most critical factor to kick-start and galvanise the much-publicised industrialisation of the state.
