Muhammed Rabi’u, a 45-year-old resident of Anguwar Sarakuna in the Bauchi metropolis, bought three poles and cables to connect his house to power supplied by the Jos Electricity Distribution Company (JED) when he first relocated to the area in 2017. He had no option but to invest his personal resources to obtain the electric asset required to tap power for his domestic use after several efforts to get JED to supply the materials proved abortive.
