Residents of Lokoja yesterday cried out over epileptic power supply the Kogi State capital is currently undergoing.
According to reports, one Saidu Atuluku, who resides at New Layout, said the condition of power in the state was unacceptable now that the weather is hot.
Atuluku noted that poor power supply and not having it at all has rendered the residents of the state helpless, adding that the situation is depreciating on a daily basis.
He said “Since the heat started, I find it hard to sleep at nights as there is no power for fan or air conditioner to work.”
Another resident, Ms Afolabi, who stays at Adankolo, expressed her disappointment over the lack of electricity at nights, stating that it is having an adverse effect on her.
She said:” My new bundle of joy (baby) no longer sleeps the way he used to, due to the heat.
“I expected that there will be enough power supply for our fans, air conditioners and refrigerator but the situation is getting worse and unbearable instead.
“It is unfortunate that power supply is getting worse at the time we need it most.”
