Governor Rochas Okorocha said this when officials of the Enugu Electrical Distribution Company led by its Managing Director, Engineer Suleiman Yahaya, paid him a courtesy call at the government House Owerri.
He stressed that the days of loss of communication between the state government and PHCN were gone, saying present administration was poised to interact with the company in power distribution to uplift the state economy.
Okorocha noted that incessant importation of generating sets into the country constitutes great pollution and drain in the economy of the populace.
He called on the federal government to come up with a policy on importation of generators as well as the centralisation of power distribution in the hands of PHCN.
He tasked the company to ensure that every part of the state is connected to the national grid, adding that the PHCN should raise the voltage capacity of the state.
Leader of the team, Yahaya disclosed that over 30 distribution substations vandalised in the state in recent years had been re-activated while two substations in Njaba and Oguta LGAs had remained totally vandalised till date.
He appealed to the Governor to consider upward review of monthly payment to the company, which presently stands at N10 million.
