The Federation of Ede Youths Development Association (FEYDA) has shut down offices of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company in the town over erratic power supply.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the national president of the association, Comrade Abiola Afolabi.
The statement which was posted on the official Facebook page of FEYDA, stated that the IBEDC offices were locked to prevent the staff from operating and making money due to epileptic power supply.
Afolabi claimed that the unavailability of electricity in the town has led to collapse of businesses.
The statement read, “Today, we took another painful but inevitable decision to lock the offices of IBEDC in Ede land, to prevent them from operating and making money while providing darkness for the people.
“In the past, we would open it for them under 24 hours after many promises of improvement but this time around, their offices will remain locked for as long as power supply improves significantly.
“Feyda Ede will continue making sure that Ede people are not shortchanged and extorted in any form by IBEDC. Businesses are collapsing and the economy of our dear city is going for the worse. We can’t afford to look away.”
