The people and residents of the Silo-Apansede community of Shettima-Zango area have appealed to the state government to provide them with a 500KVA transformer due to the breakdown of the old community-owned transformer.
According to the Secretary of the Silo-Apamsede community, Sunday Samuel who spoke to journalists said living without electricity has slowed down businesses and artisans’ daily income who depend on electricity for survival.
Samuel recalled that the same blackout had occurred that lasted for four months and the repair was also carried out through funds raised by community dwellers before this recent one.
