Angry over the lack of formal grid infrastructure, residents are directing their frustration at the ruling African National Congress (ANC). "We have made a collective decision: no electricity, no vote," said community leader Lesiba Rankapole, 59. "We know it is illegal, but we had no choice because we cannot live without electricity.

Madein made this known during an interactive session with journalists in Abuja.
 
Recall that there were delays in the payment of May and June 2023 salaries.
 
Clarifying the situation, Madein noted that the delay in the May and June 2023 salaries was due to some bottlenecks beyond the control of the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation. She however noted that modalities had been put in place to ensure that salaries were paid as and when due.
 
She said, “For May and June, we encountered some difficulties beyond our control but I can assure you that everything has been put in place to ensure that July 2023 salaries are not delayed and will be paid any moment from now.”
 
Also speaking at the dialogue, the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, noted that workers would smile soon.
 
Yemi-Esan made the comment following questions surrounding palliatives to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal on civil servants.
 
She noted that a committee that was set up by the government was looking at the idea of transportation allowances among others.
