A statement issued on Monday by the council’s State Secretary Alhaji Isa Garba Gadau, expressed displeasure over the activities of JED officials in embarking on unnecessary disconnection particularly to customers operating with prepaid meter, simply to force customers back to estimated billing.
Bauchi Council of NUJ observed that there is lacuna in the payment of power supply in the name of estimated bills especially in paying for services not rendered including payments for darkness.
The Union faulted the activities of some JED officials who deliberately frustrate and embrass their customers even those operating with prepaid meters, simply to force them adopt to estimated bills for their personal benefits.
The Bauchi State Council of NUJ advised Bauchi State Government, ministries and agencies to look for alternative power supply, so that they would make a lot of savings from the outrageous estimated bills being issued to them on monthly basis.
NUJ called on JED management to always engage trained personnel that have good human relations with customers to enable them provide effective services to their customers.
