He urged the AEDC management to see to how it would address the perennial problem of poor power supply across the council, saying the council was ever ready to intervene where it discovered there was problem.

“The epileptic power supply in Abaji and its environs is causing a serious concern and we call on the management to, as a matter of urgency, let us know what the problems are so that we can intervene,” he said.
