On the 16th June, 2015, the people of Awada, Onitsha in Anambra State went on a protest for the epileptic power supply they have been experiencing for many months.
The angry crowed demanding for good supply of electricity, fixings of pre-paid meters and proper charges on consumption of units, comported themselves and marched through Onisha-Enugu expressway to the officals of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company at Awada, GRA, Ogidi, the headquarters of Idemili North Local Government Area in Awada they did not take it easy with the EEDC officers as they waved placards which had captions like “EEDC give us prepaid meters”; “Old PHCN is better than EEDC”; “EEDC officials are taking us for granted”.
While they sang "warlike" songs to express their anger.
At that stage they were addressed by Mr. Fred Ugwu an official of EEDC who "commended" them of their good behaviour and promise to look into the grievances and channel them to the appropriate higher authority for consideration and solution.
