A resident of Tudun Nupawa area of Kaduna state has called the attention of NAIJ.com to what he described as a "sharp increase in electricity charges from 4,087.35 to 12,235.68 monthly by the Kaduna electricity distribution company."

According to the resident who wished to be identified as Sani, he was surprised to see an astronomical electricity bill.
"I was not at home when they brought the bill, when i got back i check the bill and saw 12,235.68, i was surprise, so i went to their business office to ask whether its a mistake but they told me the charges were correct, its the company that said people are being under billed and the increase is for everybody."
Sani said the charges were 4000 last month and even at that it was only 3000 he was able to pay.
