Moment Senators Had To Wait For Abuja Disco To Restore Power Supply Before Plenary (Video)

A video showing Senators waiting for the Abuja Electricity Distribution PLC (Disco) to restore electricity before the commencement of session has elicited conflicting views online.

There was a partial blackout in the Red Chamber today, causing senators to wait until the power was restored.

Following the restoration of electricity a few minutes later, Senate President Godswill Akpabio convened the plenary session.

It is worth remembering that in February, the Abuja energy Distribution PLC issued a warning to cut the energy supply to 86 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) due to an outstanding debt of N47.1 billion.

Some of the MDAs comprise the Ministry of Finance, Information, Budget, Works and Housing, barracks, Nigeria Police Force, Presidential Villa, CBN Governor, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and state liaison offices in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
