Imo Power to the People! New Forum to Tackle Your Electricity Wahala!

Oga, are you tired of NEPA wahala in Imo State? Well, good news! The Imo State Electricity Regulatory Commission (ISERC) has just launched a brand new forum to handle all your electricity complaints. This is a big move, folks, and it means your voice can finally be heard. No more suffering in silence!

Here’s the gist of what’s happening:

  • A five-member forum has been created to listen to your electricity problems.
  • This forum was created after the state took over electricity regulation from the Federal Government.
  • The Governor is keen on making sure everyone has access to affordable and reliable power.
  • The forum will focus on protecting the rights of both consumers and suppliers.

Why This Matters

For too long, many people in Imo have been struggling with poor electricity supply. This affects everything, from the small businesses trying to make a living to our daily lives at home. The Governor is fully aware of this, and he’s determined to turn things around. This new forum is a crucial step in that direction.

Meet the Problem Solvers

The members of this new forum are not just random people. They’ve been pulled from the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and are experienced in dealing with customer complaints. The chairman of ISERC, Mr. Bede Opara, is confident that they’ll do a good job. These are people who are expected to use their skills to mediate disputes and ensure both sides are treated fairly.

How it Works

So, how do you get your electricity issues resolved? It’s quite straightforward:

  1. First, take your complaints to your electricity distribution company (DisCo).
  2. The DisCo is expected to fix the issue within 15 working days.
  3. If they don’t, then you can escalate the matter to the ISERC Forum.

Mr. Prince Uchegbu, the head of the new forum, has promised that they will be dedicated to making sure that electricity consumers are satisfied and that complaints are resolved fairly.

The Bigger Picture

This new forum is just one part of a broader plan by the Imo State government to improve the electricity sector. Governor Hope Uzodimma has brought in partners to invest in electricity infrastructure and he plans on job creation in the sector. The goal is to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable power for everyone in the state. This means a brighter future for everyone in Imo state.

What you Should do

If you are an Imo resident and are having issues with your electricity provider, don’t hesitate to follow the steps outlined above and speak up! Your voice matters, and this new forum is there to make sure it’s heard!
