Youth Protest Poor Supply In Niger State

Youths in Niger state have staged a peaceful protest on Thursday against what they termed an epileptic power supply by the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).

In October last year, they issued a four-week ultimatum to both the AEDC and the transmission company in the state to either improve on power supply or vacate the state. But the state government, including the House of Assembly, waded into the matter.

Speaking to Channels Television’s correspondent, the youths however, noted that they were not satisfied with the outcome of that resolution, hence, the reason they decided to embark on the protest.
