The Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) has disconnected the Kaduna Government House over N2.9 billion debt.

But Abdullahi said the disconnection took effect after extensive efforts to resolve the issue through consultations & reconciliations.

According to the statement, “In a dramatic move that underscores growing tensions between utility providers & state governments, Kaduna Electric has cut off electricity supply to the Kaduna State Government House & other state government accounts due to unpaid bills.
