The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has disconnected power supply to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka over a reported N172million electricity debt.
The disconnection took effect barely one month after a new committee of the university management came on board on August 19, 2024.
Some students of the varsity have lamented the lack of power supply since resumption.
Students who spoke to journalists on the condition of anonymity, said: “We resumed on the 16th of September. Before going on vacation, we used to have a regular power supply. This time around, it is a total power outage.
“We want this matter to be resolved as soon as possible because when students are fully back, there may be protest.”
Another student said: “This disconnection is affecting us terribly bad. We can’t read under this condition. Let the management settle this electricity matter. We are no longer enjoying our stay on campus.”
According to reports, the new management paid the distribution company the sum of N72million part payment of the debt, but EEDC refused.
