EEDC, Anambra MOU: SEAMATA passes vote-of-confidence on EEDC to deliver on agreement
The South-East Amalgamated Markets Traders Association (SEAMATA) has passed a vote-of-confidence on the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to deliver on its mandate on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with Anambra Government.
It would be recalled that recently the EEDC and the Anambra Government recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) towards providing energy security and extending universal electricity access for all residents of the state.
The congratulatory message and vote-of-confidence affirmation of SEAMATA is contained in a letter addressed to the Chairman, Board of Directors, EEDC, Sir Emeka Offor.
The letter, which was conveyed after a general meeting of SEAMATA in Enugu on Saturday, March 25, was signed and issued to newsmen on Tuesday by the group’s President-General, Chief Gozie Akudolu, and Secretary-General, Mr Alex Okwudili.
The letter expressed optimism that residents of Anambra would be guaranteed of up to 18 hours of electricity supply daily once the implementation of the MOU goes full cycle.
It extolled the visionary leadership style of Sir Emeka Offor, stressing that with this latest development, he had demonstrated that “he is a blessing to Anambra State”.
It said that the group was confident that EEDC remained “the wheel that will propel the state to being the industrial investment destination of the South-East”.
“With this feat, industrial and commercial activities shall start to boom, employment will be created and most of our youths shall be taken off the streets, thereby curbing crimes and reducing social vices to the barest minimum in the state”.
“The improved power supply presently enjoyed across communities in the South-East has given us high expectations on the positive impact of the collaboration with the state government on our businesses.
“The association and its members have absolute and implicit confidence in your company’s ability and competence to deliver on this mandate effectively and satisfactorily,” it said.
It will be recalled that in September 2022, SEAMATA also commended the management of EEDC, passing a vote-of-confidence on the company in recognition of the remarkable improvement in power supply within the South-East states.
SEAMATA is the umbrella union of traders in all the markets in the five states of South-East as well as traders of South-East extraction doing business in all the states across the Federation of Nigeria and in the Diaspora.
