President Bola Tinubu ordered that payment of State House electricity bill be made to Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) on Tuesday.
The order takes place with immediate effect as directed by the Nigerian President, paving way to the reconciliation of accounts between the State House Management and AEDC follows. The action was carried out due to the AEDC’s initial claim of a debt load of N923 million stated in paid advertisements in newspapers.
Adding to that, the State House’ outstanding bill is N342, 352, 217.46. It was disclosed through a letter presented by the management of AEDC to the State House Permanent Secretary, which is dated February 14, 2024.
