 Kaduna Residents Cry Out Over Devastating Power Outage, Demand Quick Fix


Kaduna residents have cried out over a power blackout in Kaduna State, lamenting that their businesses have been crippled.

A barber, Solomon Adejo who operates a shop at Banarwa said he has increased his price from N800 to N1,500 per head due to the blackout, “ Things are getting out of hands as business men are not finding it easy with this blackout in Kaduna. I have increased my price,” he said.


Meanwhile, our correspondent observed that some of the residents have expressed frustration over the power outage as they were not able to charge their phones.
