The Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) on Friday assured Lagos residents that the issue of outrageous bills would soon be resolved.
Mr Olawale Salami, Station Manager of Amukoko Undertaking, gave the assurance at a town hall meeting with communities of Alaba-Oro, Mosafejo and Alafia in Ojo area of Lagos.
Salami said that efforts were ongoing to address all complaints related to over billing and estimated billings.
``We have created an environment for both the PHCN officials and customer to fashion out issues relating to billing in our unit.
``We will only attend to complaints of overbilling, estimated and faulty meters, we will not be able to attend to those whose meters are malfunctioning, `` he said.
A community leader, Mr Rabiu Ojora, appealed to the PHCN official to resolve the issue of outrageous bills, adding that ``it has affected everybody in the community, including my palace``.
Mr Yekini Olawale, Chairman, Alaba-oro, Mosafejo Landlords and Tenants Association, appealed to PHCN management to reduce the outrageous bills by 75 per cent so that they could pay the bills.
``We have seen the adjustment done to the outrageous bills for the residents of Ojo community from N120, 000, their bills were adjusted to N15, 000.
``The outrageous bills they have been distributing to the community will not be paid until reasonable amendment is made.
``Our community will not pay a single kobo into PHCN account until the amendment is done; we feel cheated by the decision of PHCN to give us crazy bills without having power supply, `` Olawale said.
