President Bola Tinubu has directed immediate settlement of outstanding electricity bill owed by Aso Villa to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company.
The President’s directive follows the reconciliation of accounts between the State House Management and AEDC.
A statement by Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy, Bayo Onanuga noted that the State House outstanding bill is N342.35m contrary to the AEDC’s initial claim of N923million debt.
Having reconciled the position to the satisfaction of both parties, the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has given assurance that the debt will be paid to AEDC before the end of this week.
Following the example of the Presidency, Chief of Staff also urged other MDAs to reconcile their accounts with AEDC and pay their electricity bills.
