Interviews

JOEL EBOMUCHE

Power Holding Company of Nigeria and government are not helping matters. My bill has increased. Yet there is no light to show for it. Before now, I paid N2,500 per month but recently, I started paying above N3,000.

It is wrong timing to increase electricity bills when we are not enjoyin [...]

SUNNY STANLEY

For me, the refusal to pay the N5, 000 stipends to the unemployed youths is very unfortunate because most of the electorate were influenced by the promise to do so.
