Yenagoa–Some people living and doing business in the Tombia – Amassoma road (honnihills street) have appealed to the power holding company of Nigeria in Bayelsa State to come to their aid in restoring power back to the area.
Some of the business persons who spoke to Tarakiri voice said they have not seen power for almost a year, adding that it has negatively affected their business, because they spend about N1500 –N2000 for fuel to operate their business everyday.
On this part , the PHCN committee chairman in the area , Mr Joseph Eniyezor , said they have reported the faulty transformer to PHCN severally but are yet to get any response .
He said , in time past residents and the committee we have solely contributed over N500,000 for the maintenance and repairing of the 500KV transformer because PHCN has refused to take up responsibility.
