Speaking before the Public Accounts Committee, the MCE confirmed that the problem had existed long before he assumed office, describing the situation as a longstanding challenge for residents and businesses.

He disclosed that recent power fluctuations had damaged some office equipment at the Municipal Assembly, including two laptops, one printer and a photocopy machine.

Mr. Rabiu explained that the Assembly had subsequently procured Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems to serve as backup protection for office equipment against sudden power interruptions and voltage fluctuations.

He noted that the intervention was intended to minimise further damage to equipment and ensure the smooth running of administrative activities despite the persistent electricity challenges.
